After training
The quicker you start refuelling after exercise , the quicker your body will recover. Any workout depletes your stores of glycogen- the readily available fuel in you muscles – and breaks down the muscle tissue. Your aim is to rebuild thes fuel deposits and repair damaged muscle fibres as soon as possible. It is during your this post-exercise your body gets stronger and fitter. Wait too long and you feel sluggish , get it right and you’ll recover faster.
How much to drink?
Start drinking before you even get showered or get changed. As a thumb rule, you need to drink 750 ml of water for every 0.5 kg of body weight lost during your workout( 1kg of lost weight is equal to 1 litre of body sweat, which needs to be replaced with 1.5 litres of fluid).
Try to drink 500ml over the first 30 minutes, little and often, then keep on sipping until you are passing clear and pale urine.
