JJ Virgin breaks down hydration math: drink half your body weight in ounces daily, then add 0.5 to 1 ounce per minute of exercise. A 30-minute workout needs roughly 30 oz of water. But water alone won't cut it. You need electrolytes to replace minerals lost through sweat.
Hydration. So you want to be drinking at least to start half your weight in ounces of water, and then you add about 1/2 to 1 ounce for every minute of exercise. So if it's hard exercise, let's say you go to the gym for an hour and you end up doing about like maybe 30 minutes, maybe 20 minutes of really hard exercise because you're lifting and recovering. So I get in about 30 ounces of water there. You want to not just do water, you want to get in some electrolytes as well, because remember, if you're sweating more, you're not losing water, you're also important minerals. So this is where electrolytes come into play. When I go to the gym, I take with me a big ol' thing of water. It's a big 64-ouncer that I put my Electro Replenish and I put in my Amino Acid Power powder in there too. So I've got essential amino acids, I've got my electrolytes in there, so I make sure that I stay well hydrated.
