Have you had a glass of water yet today? We're often so busy that we forget to drink enough. Learn how to tell if you're dehydrated and easy ways to up your water intake. Plus, trainer Stephanie Mansour shares two ways to get the most out of a five-minute walk (that can actually make a huge difference in your day).

Walking Challenge

Today's Workout

Today's workout is a  20-minute walk. There are some days when we have extra time and can take a longer walk, while others it's hard to even find a few minutes. On those days when you're pressed for time, it's still worth it to get moving. Your trainer Stephanie Mansour has some advice on how to get the most out of that five-minute walk:

• Meditate. Use the five minutes to focus on your breathing and create a walking meditation. Follow this breathe pattern: in, in, out, out. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. 
  
• Power walk. This is a great way to squeeze in a quick calorie-burning workout when you only have a few minutes to spare. The most important aspect of power walking is making sure that with each step, you move from heel to toe while pumping your arms. 

Learn how to get the best walking workout — whether you have 5 minutes or 40 — here.

An easy way to tell if you're dehydrated

Water is crucial to your wellbeing. Besides preventing dehydration, it helps regulate your body temperature, cushions your joints, supports your body’s natural detoxification process and is needed for healthy circulation. 

So how do you know if you're drinking enough H20? This easy habit will clue you into your hydration levels: Take a look in the toilet after you pee.

The color you see can tell you if you're dehydrated. Ideally, it should be clear or pale yellow. Anything darker could mean you’re under-hydrated.
