How to stay hydrated when you sweat a lot
I am one of those guys who sweats a lot no matter what kind of shape I am in. I know that I am losing electrolytes, hydration and endurance when sweating so much.
I have many intense PT sessions coming up, and I want to know how I can best stay hydrated and replenish my lost electrolytes and fluids.
My questions are:
1. What do I drink? Only water? Gatorade and water? Some other drink?
2. When do I drink it? Before, during and after?
3. How much do I drink? Don't want stomach cramps or feel sluggish from too much fluid. How much before, during and after?
4. Anyone have a better hydration drink recipe than Gatorade and/or water?
