When a stubborn struggle begins with the extra pounds accumulated in our body, any means are used to achieve the goal. The transition to proper and rational nutrition, diets and sports exercises become an integral part of the implementation of the plan: lose weight by the summer season! And everything would be fine if only the trainers who offer exhausting, but quite useful exercises, did not forget to advise their wards that one should not forget about water. No, not for swimming and swimming.
Our body needs water. In the blood, it makes up 90 percent of the total volume, in the brain tissues – 75 percent, in muscle tissues – 80 percent. These figures are already quite enough to understand that without water the body simply cannot function normally and will die. So why are so many so firmly convinced that during sports training you can not drink a drop of water? Let us dwell on the principles of building a drinking regime during sports activities for those who play sports in fitness groups, yoga, aerobics, and so on. It is in such groups that many often fall from fatigue after exertion, and do not experience a sense of satisfaction from the work done and sensations in the muscles.

Drinking regimen during sports training is very important to observe at least in order to finish this workout. If the optimal water balance is disturbed, dehydration will begin, which will provoke weakness and dizziness. This is explained simply: when there is a training with a moderate power load, the body is able to lose about one and a half liters of fluid. After such a loss, the blood thickens, it reduces the level of oxygen that goes to the brain and muscles. By observing the drinking regimen, you can avoid loss of strength. This does not mean that you need to drink constantly and in large quantities. Just after every fifteen minutes of exercise, you need to take at least three to four good sips of water. Then there will be no loss of strength, and the benefits of training will only increase.

When developing the correct drinking regimen for yourself, you should not forget that you need to drink not only during sports activities, but also before starting classes. Namely, the body should receive its 300 milliliters of pure water about two hours before the start of the workout, one hundred milliliters about fifteen minutes before performance of strength and aerobic exercises. At the end of the time allotted for training, you should drink about three hundred milliliters of water. This drinking regimen is not limited to the strict figures given. If you want to drink more, drink with pleasure and for health after class, and during sports activities, use a deceptive trick: rinsing with water.

The drinking regime does not involve the use of any liquids with energy fillers. Moreover, alcoholic beverages are prohibited. During sports training, the heart rate increases, and if it is supplemented with alcohol, the heart is unlikely to withstand the load. Also, do not abuse juices. Buying juice in tetra packs, we offer our body nothing more than sugar and a powder diluted with water. If you still need to sweeten your life during sports training, then prepare for yourself fresh, self-squeezed juice, for which use an orange, carrot, apple. Ordinary water can be acidified with lemon.

It is unacceptable to drink tea, both black and green, during sports activities. The caffeine contained in this drink can only increase the load on the cardiovascular system. In addition, tea contributes to the formation of cellulite, so it is not recommended to drink it immediately after fitness, aerobics or any other workout. But before training, about an hour and a half, you can drink a cup of coffee and a cup of tea. So they will contribute to the mobilization of fat cells, just the body will use them as its fuel during sports training.

Drinking regimen may include the use of milk after exercise and strength training. However, if your goal is not a sharp increase in muscle mass, then it is better to save this, no doubt healthy drink for another time. milk helps to fix the muscle pumped up during training, because it contains a lot of calcium, which is the basis of muscle tissue. It is not for nothing that athletes are recommended to consume more eggs, cottage cheese, meat and other products containing calcium.

Typically, a workout in women’s fitness groups, yoga, Pilates, or just in the gym lasts one hour. If your trainer prefers to train with you more time, then it is recommended to drink drinks, designed specifically for athletes. These drinks contain a certain amount of electrolytes, special salts that maintain the water balance at the required level. In the body, they do not linger, because they are excreted naturally – by sweating and together with urine.

Training, which is aimed solely at drying the muscles, that is, creating a beautiful relief and expelling excess fluid from their tissues, then the drinking regimen should be somewhat different. But the term “drying” does not at all imply that the body needs to be rid of fluid altogether. During training, you do not need to drink a lot, just moisten your mouth and take a few sips. During the day, water should not be consumed in absolutely any quantities, but in strict portions, the volume of which is determined for each athlete individually. This approach is used more in professional sports, for example, in bodybuilding. And for you and me it will be enough to know that you can drink as much as you like, then the body will be healthy and strong. Water is health, remember this and saturate your body with water, helping it remove all toxins from the body, not only during sports, but also at any other time.
