holding water diet or cardio...

[djacosta]

Hi can someone hold water from doing cardio my diet is pretty clean and it seems like everytime i start doing cardio say step for 30min a day i end up holding more water especially in my face and as soon as drop the cardio i loose the water...is this possible?

What is your water intake each day? If your cardio is of moderate or better intensity, it could be that you are losing enough water through cardio to be just slightly dehydrated....which in turn will make your body hold on to the water it has.

Short of this, if you are doing cardio and using some type of sports drink, could be you are getting to many salts and causing fluid retention.

Those are the things that come to mind off the cuff.

Hi yeah i dont drink much water i think all together 150 ounces of water...i am never really thirsty....do could that be should i push myself to drink more water...i feel very bloated in my stomach when i try to drink a lot of water
then i cant eat my meals..... thanks

Cardio / 1-2 gallons of water a day should do the trick, and remember to keep your sodium level @ a fair ammount. If you restrict sodium trying to lose the water weight, your body will most likely retain water due to the lack of sodium

Yeah, because if anything cardio would force you to LOSE water.
