Drinking water plays a great role in our daily bodybuilding goals and fitness lifestyle due to the below listed reasons:

• The muscles are mostly composed of water , so if you are drinking water the muscles will automatically look fuller. 

• It is often recommended to drinking water at least two litres per day by the health authorities. 

• However, I would suggest to at least drinking water 4 to 6 litres per day. 

• It is because that if you are into sports or some fitness activities, your body needs more water because you sweat it out during the workouts.

• Regardless of whether you're a sportsperson or not, drinking water regularly is a must. It helps in transportation of nutrients to various parts of the body. 

Water Intake During Workout

The American Council on Exercise has suggested the following basic guidelines for drinking water before, during, and after exercise:

• Drink 17 to 20 ounces of water 2 to 3 hours before you start exercising.
• Drink 8 ounces of water 20 to 30 minutes before you start exercising or during your warm-up.
• Drink 7 to 10 ounces of water every 10 to 20 minutes during exercise.
• Drink 8 ounces of water no more than 30 minutes after you exercise.
