Even mild dehydration measurably lowers strength, endurance, and coordination.

For sessions under an hour, water is usually enough; longer or sweaty sessions benefit from electrolytes.

Practical steps

  1. 1Drink 8–12 oz 30 minutes before you move.
  2. 2Sip 4–6 oz every 15 minutes during longer sessions.
  3. 3Replace 16–24 oz for every pound of sweat lost after.
