Reasons to drink your water: Water Helps Energize Muscles. Cells that dont maintain their balance of fluids and electrolytes shrivel, which can result in muscle fatigue. When muscle cells dont have adequate fluids, they dont work as well and performance can suffer, says Guest. Drinking enough fluids is important when exercising. Follow the American College of Sports Medicine guidelines for fluid intake before and during physical activity. These guidelines recommend that people drink about 17 ounces of fluid about two hours before exercise. During exercise, they recommend that people start drinking fluids early, and drink them at regular intervals to replace fluids lost by sweating.
