hey i've got a question, does drinking water when working out help lose weight? because i've been working out a lot and eating less and am kinda stuck, but i don't drink much water when exercising.
for example, i'll do 500 calories on the eliptical, when i get to 300 i'll stop and take a few sips of water to cool me down, then do the last 200 and a few more sips of water (maybe like 1/3 cup). but should i be drinking more? i know i should just because of the whole dehydration thing, but i'm curious if it would help with the whole plateau thing?
I just read that drinking alot of water while working out can help w/ exercise induced asthma. Apparently, asthmatics need the moisture in their mouth/ airways b/c they dont produce enough during exercise.
all i know is that the other day i actually tried working out with a bottle of water with me and it REALLY helped my digestion, if you're pickin up what i'm throwin down ;)
