Drinking water 20 minutes before exercising is a good practice, and if the exercise is for an extended period of time then it is also a good idea to do. Replenish you body by what's been lost of fluids during exercise is a a must at the end.

You really must not reach the stage when you feel thirsty. Drink as much as you can also if you do not feel thirsty and drink a lot and not just enough to moisten the inside of your mouth. You should also drink water before, during and after exercise.

 

And you have to bear in mind that your body can absorb only one glass of water every 20 minutes, to maintain drinking water during exercise and you have to drink a glass of water every few minutes. Do not wait until the end of the exercise period and then drink a lot of water and that's not good for you.

 

Drink cold water after doing effort such as sports or hiking, but after taking a break and quietly and inserts.

 

 There are three periods should be treated with caution with drinking water or any other means by which exercise an hour and during exercise and after exercise Hour ...

 

Before Exercise Hour should the body be ready for the exercise and the body is in the development of satiety and surfeit either water or food, as well as there is a severe sense of thirst and hunger, but we have to be a body in a balanced position and this is the perfect situation for exercise and there is no reason why you drink some sips of water intermittent before the exercise hour, but beware of the fullness of the water but sips this simple for water before exercise Hour for other liquids, such as juice before exercise is also an hour, this depends on the objective of the exercise, although the goal of the exercise is to burn calories do not prefer to drink any liquids other than water, where the water contains no calories, unlike the rest of the fluid If the body does not need to burn calories there is nothing wrong in a simple sips ...

 

But during exercise would prefer not to drink any fluids at all, except in case of necessity ,, if severe thirst and be simple sips and then shut down completely lips and the passage of a little water from them is to drink water at risk if the body in case of difficulty breathing, rapid heartbeat must pay attention to to remain a simple time before drinking water to calm down the body ...

 

 

The period of time after exercise should not be extravagant in eating and drinking during this period, in which the body turns into the stage of activity to relax the stage and also have to deal with water and other liquids in small quantities and at intervals, so that effort does not go in vain exercise.

yes, you should drink water before , during and after workout.

Drink to ounces of water two hours before the start of exercise.

Drink7 to ounces of fluid every to minutes during exercise.

Drink to ounces of fluid for every pound of body weight lost after exercise.

Rehydration occurs faster in the presence of sodium, regardless of whether it is provided in a sports drink.

Drinking water is the good habit in all times. But how much quantity is the matter... Of course, you can take lots of water after work out. Then you can reduce the level of water during the workout.... And before starting the workout, you can take the water at required level as par to the workout level.

It is important to drink water during exercise and after. Before exercise just a little to be hydrated.

Yes certainly, water is important element. it is utterly important to drink water to keep our body hydrated.

Moreover during workout our body tend to lose water in form of sweat consequently body needs more water.

therefore, person should drink water intermittently before, during and after workout. But it should be taken in sips during workout.
