During our <\/span>video sessions<\/a>,<\/b> we recommend that you stay <\/span>regular hydration<\/b> which will help regulate<\/span> body heat<\/b> and compensate <\/span>the “sweat” losses<\/b> that you eliminate <\/span>during<\/span>sports effort.<\/span> <\/span><\/p>

When you sweat, you lose water,<\/span> but also sodium <\/span>and other minerals <\/span>such as potassium,<\/span> magnesium <\/span>and zinc.<\/span> <\/p>

So remember to <\/span>drink water<\/span> before, during and after your online aquatic session <\/a><\/span>for optimum performance<\/span> and to stay in shape<\/span>. Drinking<\/span> should be a reflex, so always have your water bottle<\/span> to hand, next to your pool <\/span>, whether you’re doing yourAquagym<\/span><\/a>, d’Aquabiking<\/span><\/a> orAqua Pilates<\/span>.<\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

WHEN SHOULD YOU HYDRATE WHEN DOING WATER SPORTS? <\/span><\/h1>

Before<\/b> : <\/span>Ideally, you should <\/span>drink<\/b> about <\/span>1.5\/2L of water<\/b> per day. Finally, remember to <\/span>drink <\/b>between the end of your meal and the start of your <\/span>session<\/b>. <\/span> <\/p>

At<\/b> Our <\/span>sessions<\/b> are approximately <\/span>45 min,<\/b> best during our <\/span>online videos <\/b>that you <\/span>drink every <\/span>15 to 20 minutes <\/b>2 to 3 sips of water. <\/span> <\/p>

Afterwards<\/b>: After you’ve finished your workout <\/b>, drink mainly beverages rich in fast sugars<\/b> for two hours <\/b>after your effort, to allow your body to quickly replenish your glycogen<\/b> reserves. This is also a useful technique for reducing soreness <\/b>the next day. <\/span><\/p>

WHAT ARE THE EFFECTS OF POOR HYDRATION DURING AN AQUABIKING SESSION? <\/span><\/h1>

Lack of <\/span>water <\/b>will have many effects on your <\/span>body.<\/b> Firstly, on the timing of your <\/span>session<\/b> water<\/b>negative <\/span>negative effects<\/b> will be felt. Like a decrease in <\/span>muscular strength<\/b> and <\/span>endurance<\/b>. Your <\/span>session in the water <\/b>will be complicated and<\/span> fatigue <\/b> will arrive much more quickly. And don’t forget, <\/span>risk of injury.<\/b><\/p>

It’s clear that not <\/span>hydrate<\/b> will have an impact on your <\/span>aquatic session<\/b> and your <\/span>your health.<\/b> This rule applies regardless of <\/span>physical activity<\/b> you’re going to do. <\/span> <\/p>

\"\"<\/p>

<\/h1>

DO YOU SWEAT DURING AN AQUAGYM SESSION? <\/span><\/h1>

During your session <\/span>Aquagym, Aquabiking or even Aqua Pilates<\/b> your body needs to cool the<\/span> muscles<\/b> which heat up during<\/span>effort<\/b>. The only way to evacuate the overflow of <\/span>heat <\/b>is to <\/span>sweat. <\/b> <\/p>

In your <\/span>pool<\/b>you won’t lose as much<\/span>water<\/b> as a <\/span>athlete<\/b> “even during <\/span>intensive effort<\/b> effort, because your <\/span>temperature<\/b> and your water requirements <\/span>water<\/b> will be reduced. <\/span> <\/p>

On the other hand, your <\/span>dehydration<\/b> for a <\/span>aquatic session<\/b> could occur <\/span>faster<\/b> with important consequences such as a risk of<\/span> injuries<\/b>a bad<\/span> recovery<\/b> or a reduction in <\/span>performances<\/b>. <\/span>In the case of <\/span>our online videos<\/b> practiced in<\/span> water<\/b>So don’t forget that supplying a <\/span>effort in the water<\/b> does not prevent <\/span>body to sweat,<\/b> and therefore <\/span>dehydrate.<\/b> <\/span><\/p>

The variation in <\/span>drink<\/b> is also<\/span> ideal <\/b>and <\/span>important<\/b> when you’re doing <\/span>water sports<\/b>discover our <\/span>different tips <\/b>on one of our<\/span> next articles <\/b>! <\/span> <\/p>

And above all, <\/span>don’t wait until you’re <\/span>thirsty <\/b>to <\/span>hydrate<\/b> ! <\/span> <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
