DRINK YOUR WATER and MAKE IT FUN! Staying hydrated is important to help your body work efficiently and perform its best in your workouts, and weight loss.
Did you know that when you feel hungry you may actually be thirsty?
Did you know that you should be drinking half your body weight in ounces every day? It might seem like a lot, so we came up with these 5 refreshing recipes using just fruits and herbs.
The amounts are for 1 serving but I recommend just throwing a bunch in (don’t worry about measuring) and having a pitcher in your fridge ready to go so you can grab it!
