Today my personal trainer told me the perfect healthy amount of water to drink a day.

So you drink 1/2 of your body weight (Ex: You weigh 160/2=80) and just make it into "Fl. Oz." of water a day (Ex: 80 Fl. Oz. of water). This decreases your hunger throughout the day aswell.

64oz is plentyyyyyyyyyy for anyone who isnt doing heavy activity all day
so my friend is 240 lbs he should drink 120oz of water a day?
thats 15 - 8oz glasses
i feel thats one of those equations that seems to work for some people and can be used to give people a general idea but it doesnt work for everyone

the best way to tell if u need more water is..........your PISS!
it should consistently be clear or near clear, yellow piss is bad!

It's scientifically based as compared to your eight glasses per day which is only adequate for some people.

The "healthy" color of urine is a straw color, not clear...if its clear then you could be over-hydrated (not a bad thing unless it occurs at every voiding) or you could be concentrating wastes that need to be excreted from your body (which is obviously bad...could be a sign of renal failure)

yellow-amber colored urine means ur dehydrated

If it's always clear you've probbaly pissed out all of your electrolytes that you need for your kickboxing.
