Can you believe it's already November? The holidays will be here before you know it. While it's a wonderful time to connect with family and friends, this time of year can also present challenges for our healthy routine. Putting in an effort to make your workouts a habit now, can help you prevent stress, a busy schedule and holiday obligations from getting in the way when the festivities begin at the end of the month. That's why there's no better time to join us for a workout challenge! This month we are focused on cross-training with strategic strength exercises that complement your walking or running routine — they won't only build and tone your muscles, but can improve your endurance and speed, too! As our schedules start to get busier, making small, healthy choices (that can really add up!) is key. We've got a good one for you to try this week: This 1 fruit tops the list as the most hydrating food. Adding it to your diet can help you hit your daily water goal! |

New month, new challenge! Today's workout is a 15-minute bodyweight strength routine. This month is all about cross training. Studies show that doing a combination of cardio and strength training is more effective in improving strength, lean body mass and cardiovascular fitness than performing just cardio exercise alone. And when done strategically, it actually can improve your cardio performance, helping you to be more stable and efficient when walking and increasing your walking speed and endurance. If you're still working toward a 5K, keep it up! Stephanie Mansour designed the November plan to complement your training, so yes, you can do both challenges at once!

This hydrating food can count toward your daily water goals |
Cucumbers consist of 95% water, making them a hydrating fruit (yes, they are a fruit because the seeds are on the inside). About 60% of the human body is made up water, and you lose fluids on a daily basis through sweat, urine, feces and respiration. Replacing water throughout the day is important for hydration, maintaining optimal fluid balance within the cells and proper organ function. In addition, water is necessary for proper brain function and digestive processes, such as preventing constipation. According to the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, about 20% of your daily water should come from food. So, the high water content of cucumbers can help you reach your daily hydration goals! Learn the other benefits of cucumbers — plus 6 tasty recipes. |
