Hydrate

Fact: You’re mostly water.  About 60%.  Drink up!  Recommended water totals (does not include other drinks):

  • <13yo: 48oz/day, +24oz prior to each hour of exercise
  • 13yo+: 64oz/day, +32oz prior to each hour of exercise

Finish drinking these totals by mid-afternoon.  Your body will be happiest if you are peeing clear by 10am.  

Feeling tired? Drink 32oz of water, and then remember to see how you feel 45 minutes later.

Have a headache?  Drink 32oz of water, and then remember to see how you feel 45 minutes later.

Increase all of these volumes by 50% if your body is stressed: hot day, vigorous exercise, illness, etc.
