Pre-Workout Hydration
First things first. Even before you lace up those workout shoes, hydration begins. After a long night’s rest, your body is often dehydrated. Kick-start your system by drinking 16 to 20 ounces of water at least four hours before heading to Crossfit Aurora Central.
During Your Workout
Time to sweat! But don’t forget to sip. To maintain optimal performance and avoid dehydration, it’s essential to hydrate during your workout. Aim to drink around 7 to 10 ounces of water every 10 to 20 minutes of strenuous exercise.
Post-Workout Hydration
Congrats! You’ve made it through another tough session. Now it’s time to replenish, recover, and rehydrate. Drink at least 8 ounces of water after your workout. You might need more if you’ve been sweating a ton or your workout was especially long.
Feeling Fancy? Try an Electrolyte Drink
Water is great, but sometimes, your body needs a bit more. Enter electrolyte drinks. These tasty beverages help replenish the minerals you lose through sweat. Just watch out for added sugars – some sports drinks pack a hefty punch.
H2O is Your BFF
Staying properly hydrated before, during, and after your workouts should be a top priority. Not only does it help you avoid dehydration and related issues like dizziness and fatigue, but it also supports optimal performance and recovery. So, make water your new best friend and drink up!
