There is no specific formula for workout water, but it is important to stay hydrated before, during, and after your workout. The general recommendation is to drink about 17-20 ounces of water 2-3 hours before exercising, 8 ounces of water 20-30 minutes before starting your workout, and then continue to drink water throughout your workout to replace fluids lost through sweat. After your workout, continue to drink water to rehydrate and replenish your body. It is also important to listen to your body and drink more water if you are feeling thirsty or if you are exercising in hot or humid conditions.

Workout Water Formula
To calculate the amount of water you should drink during a workout, follow these steps:
1. Determine your body weight in kilograms (kg):
Divide your body weight in pounds by 2.205 to convert it to kilograms.
2. Calculate your sweat rate:
The average sweat rate during exercise is approximately 0.5 to 2.0 liters per hour. If you are a heavy sweater, increase this estimate to 2.5-3 liters per hour.
3. Determine your workout duration:
Calculate the duration of your workout in hours.
4. Calculate your workout water requirement:
Multiply your body weight in kg by your sweat rate in liters per hour and workout duration in hours:
```
Workout Water Requirement = Body Weight (kg) x Sweat Rate (liters/hour) x Workout Duration (hours)
```
Example:
If you weigh 150 pounds, have a sweat rate of 1.5 liters per hour, and are planning a 1-hour workout:
Body Weight: 150 lbs / 2.205 = 68.04 kg
Workout Water Requirement: 68.04 kg x 1.5 liters/hour x 1 hour = 102.06 liters
Recommendation:
Drink approximately 102 milliliters (mL) of water for every kilogram of your body weight before, during, and after your workout. This means that for the example above, you would need to consume about 6.8 liters of water throughout your workout.
Additional Considerations:
- Increase your water intake if you are exercising in a hot and humid environment.
- Drink water regularly throughout your workout, rather than all at once.
- Avoid sugary sports drinks unless you are exercising for more than 90 minutes.
- Monitor your urine color: pale yellow urine indicates adequate hydration, while dark yellow urine suggests dehydration.
