Boy oh boy, am I learning the importance of drinking enough water throughout the day. Last night during karate we were doing some kicking drills, and then I felt sick. I had to ask to get a drink of water. That's the second time that's happened. If I don't aim for the recommended 64 ounces a day, I'm really hurting during class. Doesn't help that the dojo can get kinda hot.

 

So yeah, moral of the story, drink your water, people.

Yes, it is very important to keep drinking plenty of water, especially during the summer when a person can become dehydrated very quickly.

I just cannot function without water. I have to bring a bottle every class. I tend to tire easily and if we're doing many drills, I constantly have to run to the bottle to get a sip, then run back to rejoin the class. It's kind of annoying, but hey, I don't want my throat to dry and for me to gag (which happened once).

Whoa...this thread is old....but yes water is important. I tried going on a day drinking soda and then exercising but I was never as energized as when drinking water.

[Sinar89]

does water also help you loose weight somehow?

[steveb]

Sure. It can make you feel fuller so that you don't eat as much. Also, if you replace things like soda with water and/or juice then you are getting less calories and sugar which is much healthier.

water helps you lose weight if you drinik it when youre hungry so you fill your stomache up with that instead of calories
