Hydration
• When you sweat you loose water. • You loose as little as 2-3% of your body weight.• The best way to maintain good hydration is by
weighing yourself pre and post workout. • For every pound you lost after your workout you
need to replace with 2 cups of water (16 floz)• Look at your urine!
