The Daily Reminder - Day 10: Physical Health + Exercise
Building muscle and doing cardio workouts are both crucial to physical health. So today, we will aim to do both!I am not going to put too many parameters on this because I know we all have a wide range of physical abilities. But, I think the main goal here should be to get both a strength workout in and a cardio workout in as well. Try to push yourself beyond where you have pushed in the past. If you have run 1 mile before - try to go 1.5. If you have done 10 pound weights for 15 reps, try 15 pounds. I find that most days, if I am pushed a little harder, I work a little harder. If I go to workout on my own, I tend to get lazy. That's why I love challenges like this or classes where a trainer will push me beyond my comfort level.I hope you will see how much further you can push yourself today!Recap from Day 9Here's the interesting thing. Before yesterday, I believed I drink a pretty decent amount of water. After CHUGGING water like 6 times yesterday as if I am a 21-year-old downing cheap draft beer - I now realize that I am no where near where I should be with water intake! Seriously. I felt like I was re-living my old go-to-the-bar-on-Thursdays kind of drinking (only this time it was water!). I ended up drinking about 112 ounces of water yesterday and my body felt great! But I really had to TRY to drink that much. I had to intentionally take long drinks to get all of that water in.I almost always carry a water bottle with me throughout the day. But apparently it is more like an accessory - because I am just taking sips throughout the day. I now know I am going to have to really tip it back to get all that water in!How did others do with water?
