Today's 10-minute walk is helping you stay fitness consistent.

So let's go for a walk.

Hydration is super important.

Staying hydrated is a pretty key factor to our health and our well-being, to healthy living, and it's even more important in hot weather.

And in some ways, I could probably do this episode six months from now and talk about the

importance of it in cold weather, because that's when we tend to, at least I know that I have, I tend to lower

the importance of drinking water, of staying hydrated. Because I'm not hot and sweaty all the time,

I don't feel thirsty as much, and so I don't drink as much. And yet staying hydrated is just as important in the winter as it is in the summer. But that's not where we are. We're in the summer. And we are in warmer temperatures, and you might even be in hot temperatures like we are. Ava and I will define the day by how many showers we take. It's a two shower day.

It's a three shower day.

I mean, that's how hot and sticky it can be here in South Carolina and Myrtle Beach.

So we are much more aware of the need for hydration because we're feeling it more.

But staying well hydrated is something that is 24-7 365 year-round.

Proper hydration regulates our body temperature, which is super important, particularly here

in the summer.

We can hear about heat stroke, and we even every now and then, sadly, hear about athletes,

young athletes who pass away because of heat stroke.

It is important whether you're an athlete or not to have that body temperature regulated,

and hydration is very important for that.

By the way, I'm not a doctor.

I'm not a licensed personal trainer.

Proper hydration keeps our joints lubricated.
