How Much Water Should You Drink Before, During, and After a Workout?

Staying hydrated is essential for optimal performance during workouts. It is generally recommended to drink at least 500ml of water two hours before exercising, followed by 200-300ml every 15-20 minutes during the workout. After exercising, aim to replenish lost fluids by drinking at least 500ml of water within 30 minutes.
