You may be wondering, what is exercise doing in a hydration challenge? Certain workouts, like strength training, help to build muscle mass. And as your amount of lean muscle increases, the amount of water stored in your body also increases.

Remember to drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after your strength training session today. And as always, keep up with your daily water intake goal.

Give your body the ability to store more water. Start building more lean muscle through strength conditioning. No matter what your experience level is with this type of workout or what kind of shape you’re in right now, there’s something for everyone. Try any of these ideas:
- Body weight exercises: Exercises that use your own body weight as resistance (think planks, squats, lunges, and crunches) challenge your muscles and can be done anywhere.
- Resistance bands: Use large, stretchy rubber bands to add resistance to fitness moves like lunges, bicep curls, and squats and make your muscles work harder.
- Free weights: With a few different-sized dumbbells, you can perform a wide variety of strengthening movements.
- Weight machines: Exercises on machines isolate the muscles being used, which means you can focus on strengthening certain areas of the body.
- Strength training classes: Instructors offer a variety of tools and techniques, like medicine balls, weighted ropes, or kettlebells, in their routines to help you get stronger.
Remember to drink plenty of fluids before, during, and after your strength training session today. And as always, keep up with your daily water intake goal.
