TiP TueSDay: Getting more water in your system & moving your body...2 in 1!

Most of my clients say they find it the hardest to stay hydrated especially at the work place.

And why is that?

They sit down at their desk, start their day, get so consumed with their work, and end up sitting for 4 or 5 hours before they realize they’re parched and their muscles are tingling from no movement.

Here is an easy quick tip I have gotten them to implement into their daily work regime and guess what?
They get up and move almost every hour if not more and they are drinking their recommended 8 glasses of water everyday! It all was accomplished in a matter of days… such a no-brainer!

Bring a glass or mug to work with you if you don’t already have one.
Have a pitcher to keep your water in for the day, but keep it in another room, in the staff room, on someone else’s desk…anywhere that would make you physically have to get up and move to get it to refill your cup.
By having your cup close at hand, it becomes a mind trick to want to drink from it more often… and the more often you drink from it, the more often you must refill it… which means more trips to that pitcher of water in the other room.

That’s another great way to force you to move and stretch instead of staying seated in the same hunched over your desk position for long hours at a time.

And with more liquids in you, the more often you may have to get up to use the bathroom. And yes, that is more movement for your body… yay!

Until next time team, get moving to get drinking!

Health respect & happiness,
