An exercise regimen which enhances exercise endurance and performance. The regimen includes pre-exercise hydration with a glycerol solution combined with hydration during exercise with a glycerol based solution to prolong hydration effects. The first pre-exercise glycerol solution regimen begins 2 hours prior to exercise and ends 1/2 hour before exercise begins. The hydration during exercise regimen combines glycerol with a carbohydrate and sodium to prolong fluid retention.
