Dehydration affects<br />
performance and work out levels<br />
and when working out, you<br />
lose water – both through your<br />
breath and by sweating. To keep<br />
hydrated and to get the best<br />
out of your work out, have a few<br />
glasses of water in the hours<br />
before you exercise. Another tip<br />
is to have 1–2 glasses of water<br />
about 15 minutes before your<br />
work out.<br />
Also important is a gradual<br />
warm up which goes a long way<br />
to preventing injuries. A good<br />
warm up increases blood flow<br />
to the working muscles which<br />
results in decreased muscle<br />
stiffness and therefore less risk<br />
of injury. Your warm up can<br />
consist of stretching, walking,<br />
jogging or simply doing your<br />
regular workout activity at a<br />
slower pace.<br />
