If your strength is not at it is optimum level you won't be able to train effectively. A good rule of thumb is to drink half your body weight in ounces of fluids (this includes the water found in foods, and beverages like milk and juice). If you weigh 160 pounds, you'll need to drink at least 80 ounces of fluids every day. On days when you are exercising, you will need to drink more to replenish what you sweat out. Resistance training causes tiny micro tears in the muscle fibers. As you sleep your body repairs these tears.This is the process used to build bigger, stronger muscles. If you are training you need eight hours of sleep every night.
