If you're planning on taking part in a regular fitness program on elliptical machines, you'd better have your bottle of water at hand, and be ready to tip it back and drink.
You don't even have to be "dehydrated" to be dehydrated. Even being down a couple of percentage points makes the body much less efficient in everything, from energy level to brain power. You're taking part in a home elliptical exercise program in order to make your body work better - step one is keeping it lubricated, hydrated, and ready to go.
Water Helps Metabolism
We lose water simply existing - imagine how much we're down when sweating on the Welso Momentum elliptical machine. Staying hydrated not only helps athletic performance, it affects every part of the body. If you're going to be losing as much as you do on the Weslo elliptical machine, it's important to hydrate - before, during, and after exercise. Also, drink a glass or two when you wake up, to start the day hydrated.
If staying hydrated helps your body work better, does it help your metabolism too? It looks like it. Also, there's a theory that sometimes when you're hungry, you're thirsty instead. Drink a glass of water in those moments and see if you start snacking less. Skinnier people have more water in their bodies - it's a scientific fact.
