Adult bodies are about 55-60 percent water. During the course of a normal day, we use up about 2.5 quarts. Exercising uses up even more. It's important to replace those fluids before, during and after exercise. A moderate workout requires an additional 8 to16 ounces in addition to the 64 ounces recommended for daily functioning.
Water is a primary source for hydration.
Milk and fruit juices count too. Site Map Use of this site signifies your agreement to the Terms of Use .
