It is obvious that water is absolutely vital to good health. Just next to air, water is the most essential element to our survival. Without it, we humans may die in a few days.

Drinking plenty of water is important, particularly among people who exercise vigorously. Here are 4 detailed recommendations for how much to drink before, during and after exercise:

Before exercise:

Two or three hours before you start to exercise, drink 17-to-20 ounces of water.

During exercise:

Twenty to 30 minutes prior to exercise, or while you’re warming up, drink another eight ounces.

While you’re exercising, drink seven-to-10 ounces every 10 minutes to 20 minutes.

After exercise:

Within 30 minutes of completing your workout, make sure you drink another eight ounces.

Next time you start an exercise program, remember to drink enough water; it will be helpful to build your body. If you are losing weight with exercise regularly, drinking water during exercise can increase your chances of success.
