Water And Working Out



Recommended Posts

I go to the gym at least 3-4 times a week to workout on cardio and strength. What I've noticed is it's difficult for me to drink Water while I'm working out. Is this normal? And if so, when should I be able to get fuilds back in me?

Good Morning! It's funny because I've recently realized the same thing. I used to drink quite a bit while working out, but now it doesn't quite sit well when doing cario. I don't feel sick or uncomfortable, just not quite right. I make sure that I rehydrate after the gym.

I started back going to the gym at 2 weeks and you will fit more fluids in as time goes on. I am at close to 6 weeks and can almost fit 16 oz during my one hour spin class. You are correct it feels sort of tight and it almost dosen't want to stay down. I continue to slip slowly and slowdown or stop to drink.. Good Luck.

I don't have a trainer, yet. But I started by going to a toning class twice a week and then doing cardio 2-times a week. Now I focus on curcit and cardio 3-4 times a week. As for motivation...it's more willpower then anything. Don't get me wrong. There are a few times that I only made it twice a week like this week, but I am determined to continue on the path to good health.

Working out builds on itself, I find. If I go regularly, then I want to continue going because I see results. If I let myself get away from it, then I don't want to go. As Nike says, Just do it! It's the only way to go! :)

I drink a lot when working out, but I am several months post-op. Early on, I really struggled drinking Water -- especially plain water. I found that flavored water was easier. You might want to try something like Sobe water or Propel. Both have flavors that are zero-calorie options.

does drinking more than 4 oz stretches the pouch?

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
