Being a new zealander we are heading into summer and it feels like it's going to be a hot one so i want to keep going to the gym and keep my body well hydrated. cheers baby -------------- Dont limit ur challenges CHALLENGE your limits

There really is no correct answer it seems since there are differences in opinion. But the standard is usually ½ ounce of water per pound of body weight. Keep in mind that exercise and drinking caffeine products will require you to drink more. Let google be your friend. :)

Just make a bottle of water your very best friend.
