Drink Up: Water Does a Body Good


The dairy industry has commercials saying that milk will do your body good. But it’s water that really satisfies. It makes up 60 to 70 percent of your body weight and helps flush toxins from your organs and carries nutrients to your cells. Water helps regulate your body temperature and protects your joints and organs.


You’ve probably already know that you should drink at least 64 ounces of water every day, but some researchers suggest drinking even more water daily. The Mayo Clinic recommends that you take your body weight in pounds and divide that number in half to determine the right amount of water to drink every day. So if you weigh 160 pounds, try do drink 80 ounces of water a day.


But other conditions call for drinking even more water. Exercise drains your body of water. Mayo recommends drinking at least an additional eight ounces of water for every 20 minutes of activity. When you’re drinking alcohol, drink a glass of water between each drink to offset the diuretic effects of liquor, or substitute sparkling water for alcohol.




The Mayo Clinic even recommends drinking eight ounces of water for each hour you’re flying on an airplane, and drinking an additional 16 ounces of water if you live in an arid climate like Las Vegas.


Keep in mind that a portion of your body’s water intake comes from the foods you eat, especially fruits and vegetables. But the rest of day, you need to find time to add water to your diet. Try to drink a glass of water with each meal and in between each meal.



But the good news is that all of this water may even help you lose weight. Researchers in Germany found that water consumption can increase your metabolism.

WebMD reports that a study with seven men and seven women found that after drinking 17 ounces of water, the subjects’ metabolic rate increased by 30 percent. The increases occurred within 10 minutes of water consumption and reached a maximum after about 30 to 40 minutes.




The researchers from Berlin's Franz-Volhard Clinical Research Center estimated that over the course of a year, a person who increases his water consumption by 1.5 liters a day would burn an extra 17,400 calories and lose about five pounds.


So water indeed does a body good.

Las Vegas Personal Trainer Tells How Simple Weight Loss Is

Being a Las Vegas personal trainer I come across a lot of prospective clients who really, really want to lose weight but don't understand what it takes to accomplish such a goal. Once you understand what it takes, then and only then will you see how easy it really is.


The problem most people have is that they expect quick and easy results without working hard for it. No longer do you have to slave over the kitchen all day long to cook a great tasting meal; you can just go buy fast food, and presto instant meal.

You don't have to save all year to buy a brand new 60 inch T.V.; all you have to do is pull out your credit card and viola instant HDTV. So if everything else is easy, shouldn't losing body fat and looking great be quick and easy too?


The truth is, when it comes to losing weight, quick and easy doesn't work; and in the rare chance it does, the weight comes back and you're back on the diet roller coaster.


Hey, it's not your fault. You've just been conditioned to want something without having to work hard for it. We all have.


SO WHAT DOES WORK?

It might not be what you want to hear, but here it is:


HARD WORK, CONSISTENCY AND DISCIPLINE


That's it!

Once you're willing to accept that, and decide you're going to do what it takes, you're journey to a fabulous looking body and feeling great won't be such a struggle.




One more thing - stop it with the excuses. Successful people don't blame others for their short comings, they take responsibility for their actions

Don't tell me...

"I had a personal trainer and that didn't work", when in reality you were inconsistent and missed many appointments.

"I tried the P90X workout and that didn't work", when in reality you didn't follow the nutrition plan.

"I went to a boot camp before and that didn't work", when in reality you didn't push yourself past your comfort zone because you didn't want to sweat or be sore.

"I don't have enough time to exercise and eat right". What that really means, is that losing weight isn't a priority in your life and you're not willing to cut down on T.V. time or something else in your life.

"I have bad genetics". I know you can't change the card you were dealt, but you can change how you play your hand.


Don't blame others, blame your own lack of commitment.




I don't say these things to be mean, I'm just being brutally honest. I should know,
after being a trainer for 10 years, working in a half dozen gyms, training hundreds of clients and observing thousands more, I can now predict who will fail and who will succeed just by observing their daily behaviors and the words they speak.


If you give only 60% effort to your workouts, YOU ARE GOING TO FAIL

If you are looking for the easy way out, YOU ARE GOING TO FAIL

If you don't follow a healthy nutrition plan 80-90% of the time, YOU ARE GOING TO FAIL

If you don't take responsibility for your own failure and have a habit of making excuses and blaming others, YOU ARE GOING TO FAIL

If you don't decide to make exercise a priority in your life, YOU ARE GOING TO FAIL


IT'S REALLY THAT EASY



No trainer, diet plan, or boot camp can help you achieve weight loss, unless you first understand what it takes and are willing to do it.


If you are sick and tired of failing and you're truly committed to finally getting the body you want, I can help you get there


...and if you haven't yet tried Workout Quest Boot Camp contact me today to sign up for your 1 week free trial. After that I'll even give you a 30 day money back guarantee if you're not happy.


You have nothing to lose but the extra weight.

Talk to ya soon,

Las Vegas Boot Camp Instructor talks about commitment to health and fitness

Ya know, sometimes fitness training is funny.

I see meet so many people that think all they have to do is show up to the gym, break a light sweat and that will get them the body they've always wanted.


When this doesn't happen right away, they give up.



If this describes you or someone you know, don't feel bad you just haven't made a true commitment to exercise yet.

Don't worry in this quick video I'll explain what I mean and you'll be on your way to looking better and feeling great in no time.





Continue to plant seeds, make corrections and be patient. Your efforts will pay off as long as your consistent and you stick with it.
