## Put it into practice

Bring water and drink regularly according to thirst and conditions. You do not automatically need a sports drink for a short, ordinary session.

## Things to keep in mind

Long exercise in hot weather requires more planning. If a clinician has restricted your fluids, general advice does not replace that instruction; excessive drinking is not a goal either.

## Your next step

- Bring water
- Account for heat
- Avoid forcing yourself to drink
