✨Blackberry Mojito Water✨

While you're out celebrating Labor Day, make sure to drink 1/2 of your body weight in oz of water (if you weigh 180 lbs, you should drink 90 oz / 3 liters). If that's challenging, try infused water, here are some ideas to get you on the right track. Adding fruits, veggies, and herbs to water is a natural way to add flavor, remove boredom and not use any containers in the process; they’re all FREEBIES! Just the name if this has me drooling :)

Ingredients
* 1 cup ice
* ½ cup fresh blackberries
* 3 slices of lime 4 fresh mint leaves
* 1¼ cups cold water

Instructions
1) Place ice in a tall glass and set aside.
2) Combine blackberries, lime, and mint in a large cocktail shaker. Mash well with the back of a wooden spoon or muddler.
3) Add water; cover and shake. Strain into ice-filled glass.

Today we're using weights, Beachbody resistance loops, Beachbody strength slides, and a mat. It’s 55 minutes of focus on the hardest ares for most women and we're doing 3 sets of 10 reps.  We can do this and at min 56 we are going to feel on top of the world!  

HYDRATION CHALLENGE: We haven’t talked about drinking enough water yet, but it is SO IMPORTANT!  How much do you drink each day? Here's a calculation to help you figure out what the right number is for you, but basically you want to drink 1/2 your body weight. So, if you weigh 140 pounds you should drink at least 70 ounces of water each day. Lets challenge each other to drink more water!

Being well hydrated is also important to your energy levels and endurance. Dehydration can make you feel tired, rundown, hungry and cause headaches. If you want a good source of hydration during your workouts, try Beachbody Performance Hydrate. It has electrolytes to help replenish what you lose during your workouts and can help improve your endurance better than more sugary sports drinks. It's like a healthy version of Gatorade and my kids drink it for sporting events too.  Our entire family loves this and it's a lemony flavor.
