Do you count the water you drink while working out?

[Shibby]

I remember a long time ago I was told not to count the water you drink while working out as part of your daily intake. Something about your body is using it right away for the lifting and you still need to take in the Gallon a day outside of the gym to stay hydrated for recovery. It's just something I have been doing forever, never really thought about finding out the facts on it.

No. Drinking lots of water helps flush the system. The water you drink during a workout is only replacing what you lost.
