It's time for the WEEKEND CHALLENGE!! Each weekend we post a challenge to help you be more healthy and fit! This weekend's challenge is to track your water intake!
Most people don't drink enough water each day. Water is SO important to help you flush out toxins in your body and help your body work properly.
This weekend track how much water you drink each day!
How much water do you need?

Water intake is dependant upon your environment and activity level. For example, if you live in a relatively hot or humid environment, your intake is going to be slightly different due to perspiration. You will often times drink more water than someone that doesn’t live in that type of environment. In order to ensure hydration throughout the day, the first thing you should in the morning when you wake up before you have your coffee or tea are TWO 8 ounce glasses of water. Next, you want to drink about 4 8-ounce glasses of water per 1000 Calories eaten. For example, if you eat 2000 Calories, then you would need 8 glasses of water plus any fluid replacement. Fluid replacement is essential after exercise. You will need to drink approximately 2 to 4 8-ounce glasses of water per 1 hour of exercise.
