    Without this extra water, your muscles will become dehydrated. Muscle movement depends on how hydrated you are, so if they are dry, they will not work as well. As a result, your workout will not be as productive as you would like.

    That's a really good point! It explains why I personally find it easier to exercise later during the day than in the morning.. Or at least it gives me something to blame when I don't do so well in the morning - dehydration. Thanks for sharing the article! :flowerforyou:

    I used to NEVER drink plain old water. I bought the sparkling fruit mineral water and would drink at least a litre of that a day. Probably not so good for me as it contains aspartame. For the past 4 days I have managed to drink 8 glasses of plain old water a day, YAY!!! That is HUGE for me! Even my hubby has noticed :noway:
