Our bodies are composed of 60% water; that\u2019s right\u201460%! With temperatures rising and outdoor activities becoming more frequent, it is essential to have at least eight cups of water daily. Want an easy way to guarantee a healthy water intake? Buy yourself a cute water bottle that you can take everywhere and set goals on how many times you want to refill it daily.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Nutrition is so important for performance and the amount of information you find online regarding diets\/meal plans can be overwhelming. My rule of thumb is to eat nutrient dense meals that are colorful, well balanced and contain protein. If you are always on the go like me, consider prepping your lunches ahead of time so you feel ready for the day and avoid skipping a meal or choosing something that won\u2019t fill you up.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Movement is medicine, but sometimes life gets in the way and physical activity is placed on the back burner. An easy way to make sure you don\u2019t skip your workouts is to schedule them like an appointment in your calendar. This tool allows you to make yourself a priority and ensures your body gets the love it deserves! <\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Did you know recovery is the number one most important aspect of any training program? Our bodies need time to recharge and replenish before returning to any fitness routine. Just like your workouts, schedule recovery days into your week and use those days to nourish your body.
