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

Hydration is crucial for optimal performance, regardless of whether you prefer morning or evening workouts. The general recommendation is to drink at least 500ml of water 2-3 hours before exercising, followed by 200-300ml right before your workout. During exercise, aim for 200-300ml every 15-20 minutes, and rehydrate with at least 500ml post-workout to replenish lost fluids.

The Impact of Workout Timing on Hydration Needs

Morning workouts can lead to dehydration since your body has been without water overnight. Evening workouts may require less immediate hydration, but it’s still essential to maintain fluid balance throughout the day.

Hydration Strategies for Morning Workouts

For morning workouts, consider:

• Pre-hydration: Drink water as soon as you wake up.
• Electrolyte Drinks: Incorporate drinks with electrolytes to enhance hydration.

Hydration Strategies for Evening Workouts

For evening workouts, focus on:

• Consistent Hydration: Maintain fluid intake throughout the day.
• Post-Workout Recovery: Rehydrate effectively after your workout to aid recovery.
