How much water should I drink a day?!


Question: How much water should I drink a day?
4-5 times a week I run 3 miles and lift weights. I'm curious I should be drinking on these days, and on days I don't work out. I'm sure it changes with how much you do on that day. How much should I drink on an off day, and day when im working out. I know no one has an EXACT answer, but suggestions are ok.

Answers:

I've always heard 8-10 glasses a day.



Im not sure exactly, but I've heard you're suppose to divide your body weight in half and drink that many ounces of water a day. The guesstimate u hear on the internet of how much ur suppose to drink a day is based on a general statistic of an average person, but to get the exact amount, try this method.

You are probably going to get many answers like the standard 8 glasses of water, HOWEVER Dr.OZ said that is not always the case, that the amount you need is not the same for everybody. The link below is a calculator that will tell you how much YOU need to drink.

I exercise about the same as you and I actually drink about 13-14 cups a day (depending on how intense my workouts are) but when I'm resting I drink about 8



It has nothing to do with how much you workout, you should drink about 2lts a day!



8 full glasses



4 litres a day



64 oz is standard for weight loss
