Challenge Details
Our gym challenge for February is all about hydration -specifically water consumption. The point of the challenge is not to drown ourselves but itâs more about establishing sustainable habits that will last beyond the challenge. So with this in mind, during the month of February, the challenge is to consume half of your body weight (in pounds) in ounces of pure water daily. For example, a 200 pound person would need to consume 100 ounces of water daily to meet the requirements of the challenge.  Though not required, we also encourage you to keep track of your water consumption using some kind of tracking tool such as MyFitnessPal. Youâll also get bonus points for drinking 8 ounces of water when you first wake up, before each meal (fills you up and helps prevent overeating) and prior to any workouts.
For this challenge youâll need the following:
-
- A good refillable water bottle that makes it easy to measure your water consumption.
-
- Some way to keep track of your daily water consumption (MyFitnessPal is good but there are others, just google âWater Tracking appâ or a piece of paper will work too)
-
- Challenge Runner app (available for iOS on the App Store and Google Play for Droid devices). You’ll post your results in this app daily to earn points. If you fall behind in posting you can always enter previous days later.
Challenge Timeline
The challenge will run from February 1st through February 29th.
