Hello,
I am starting a water challenge today. The challenge is to drink at least 8 8 oz. glasses of water every day during the month of December. Contrary to popular belief, the typical adult actually needs more water than that! According to the Mayo Clinic, the average female should be consuming 9 cups (2.2 liters) of water per day. The average male should consume 3 liters or 13 cups of water per day. That’s before working out! If you do a short workout you should add an additional 1.5 to 2.5 cups of water.
The most common symptom of dehydration is tiredness. This can occur even with mild dehydration. In addition, staying properly hydrated helps prevent over-eating, and even decreases your chances of getting the flu or other illnesses. Have I convinced you how important water is yet? I hope you join me in this challenge!
Today’s workout is going to work every part of your legs, butt and thighs. J Enjoy it, and feel free to comment below to let me know what you think!
