Staying hydrated
An interesting article on SparkPeople had these comments on water:
You loose up to 1 quart (2 cups) of fluid during a vigorous 1 hour workout.
Start paying attention to your fluid intake 2-3 hours before you are going to exercise. Drink 2-3 cups of water during that time, and then drink another cup immediately before you start exercising. Once you start exercising, keep drinking water frequently. A good rule of thumb is to drink one cup every 15-20 minutes. It’s recommended you drink another 2-3 cups within two hours after you have finished.
My concern is that I want to do a morning workout, so I will be dehydrated going in due to losses of fluid during sleeping … if you have any recommended reading on the subject, please let me know!
