This week we introduced the basics of body weight exercising movements, applying those movements towards a quick workout, and the importance of drinking pure water during a workout, and throughout each day.
Below is our 5 minute workout, with proper hydration applications.
Do you know an easy way to tell if you are drinking enough water?
Tip: Make sure it is pure, filtered water. Beverages like seltzers, artificially flavored waters, and sodas or coffee (with water in them) do not count.
