Time for Exercise

Summer is still heating us all up. It’s the time of year when water intake is extremely important, especially when you exercise.

Water is just all around good for you. No calories, yet it’s utterly vital to survival. Drinking enough water means you won’t be retaining it. Your skin looks better. You eat less. Your digestion works better.

The trick for many people is getting enough of it.

My own solution is to just always have it with me. I keep a bottle of water on my desk.

I do not spend a fortune on water. I bought a sports bottle and just keep refilling it. First thing I do each morning is put it into the freezer so that when I’m ready to start drinking my water for the day it is icy cold. Plus I keep ice cubes handy so that I can refill as necessary.

Many people love buying bottled water, but if you do this make sure you are getting a good deal. Too many brands are nothing more than filtered tap water. Bottled water is also not held to the same standards as tap water, and so you need to be sure that you are getting something worth paying for.

And of course there’s the issue with so much waste due to bottled water. If you just have to have it, may I suggest the largest size bottles you can get of your preferred brand? Just pour into a smaller container as necessary, keeping the excess in your fridge.
