How to know how much water to drink after a workout

The ‘Sweat Reset Calculation’ tells you exactly how much water you need to drink to rehydrate after your workout.

  1. Once you have finished your workout, go to the toilet, and weigh yourself again naked.
  1. Calculate how many grams you’ve lost, then multiply it by 1.5.
  1. So, if you lose 100 grams in a workout, you’ll need to take on 150 millilitres of water.

Or, for every kilogram of weight you have lost, make sure you drink at least 1.5 litres of water.
