DEHYDRATION REDUCES PERFORMANCE
Slight dehydration is all it takes to lose 10% of your physical capacity. With moderate dehydration, 20% to 30% of your ability is lost in less time than it takes to say “hamstrings”.
02
THIRST, FATIGUE AND HEADACHES ARE ALL SYMPTOMS OF DEHYDRATION
No, your boss isn’t the only one responsible for your headaches. Your body is talking to you. Learn to listen to it and identify the signs that a big glass of water is in order. And make sure you’re getting your daily intake of salts and minerals, two essential elements for good hydration!
03
DRINKING WATER GIVES YOU ENERGY
Water is your superpower. Not only is it essential to life, it hydrates your tendons and boosts your energy production. Give it a try. Your last rehearsal will never have seemed so easy! But that’s not all. Water promotes fat elimination, lowers your body temperature in hot weather or burpee abuse, and helps you control your appetite.
04
IT'S ALWAYS A GOOD TIME TO DRINK WATER
If you listen to your thirst, you’ll never drink too much water in a day. Ever. But if you’re the type who wants to stick with the program, here’s the ideal dosage:
BEFORE TRAINING
Drink a minimum of 400 to 600 ml of water in the 2-3 hours before your session.
DURING TRAINING
For a moderate workout lasting about an hour, water is more than enough! Drink small sips throughout your workout, i.e. about one liter of water per hour.
AFTER TRAINING
To restore your hydration, drink without moderation. Listen to your thirst and satisfy it!

Training when dehydrated creates a muscle contraction that can lead to muscle tearing. In other words, dehydration increases the risk of injury and promotes premature exhaustion during your session.
