Keeping Yourself Hydrated is as Important as Benching Those Heavy Weights During Your Workout! Check Out the Best Water Bottles You Can Carry to Your Gym (2020)

Although regular physical exercise for about an hour would not result in too much sweating, if you are undertaking extreme and hardcore weight training or exercising in humid conditions, there are chances that you will sweat profusely. Hence, it’s recommended to drink a good amount of water before and during the workout to keep the body adequately hydrated. Scarcity of water in the body can lead to low energy levels, low oxygen levels and it also affects your tendons (connective tissue which joins muscles and bones), ligament (connective tissue found between bone and bone) and skin (the shield of your body against external agents like virus, fungus, and bacteria). Hence, it’s quite evident that a good water bottle for the gym is extremely important before you tie your shoes and head towards the health club.

A water bottle for a gym not only helps you keep yourself hydrated before the workout session, but you can also keep on sipping from the bottle in between intense sets (remember, sipping, and not drinking). Keeping a separate gym bottle serves the purpose of providing clean, cold, and freshwater and not be dependent on the water coolers held in the gym. The human body can lose up to 2% of body weight during sweating, and if this limit is crossed, then the potential and functionality of the body and mind can get impacted. Loss of water in the body can affect the movement of your muscles as water acts as a lubricant to the muscles. If the muscles lose flexibility, then the workout will become counterproductive, and instead of getting benefit from the exercise, you may even experience muscle fatigue or injury.

Also, a water bottle for the gym is necessary so that you can drink some amount of water every 30 minutes (during short breaks) and replenish yourself. The body not only loses water with sweat, but important minerals and nutrients are also taken out from the body along with sweat. If you are losing about a litre of water in your one-hour workout, then taking 330 ml of water every half hour will help you retain the water level in the body and then consuming the remaining 330 ml half an hour after you finish your workout, will complete the balance.

Now we know how important it is to have your own water bottle for the gym. Now the question is how to choose the right one? Should you choose a plastic bottle or a steel one? Small bottle or a gallon one? And many such questions may be popping in your mind. Well, we’ll try to find out the answer to these questions by checking the key factors which are essential before you pick the best water bottle for the gym.
