Ever wonder why water is one of the key "must haves" when starting a fitness plan? Well, aside from keeping you hydrated, and assisting with the necessary functions of the body...you know, the important stuff; it also plays a part in weight loss and body fat reduction via a process called water induced thermogenesis. Some researchers have noticed an increase in a subject's metabolic rate as high as 30%! Talk about mind=blown right?! One thing I have always noticed in most of my client's seeking weight loss is that they do not want to drink water. "Oh Coach, I just get so tired of drinking water" and "Can I just drink a bunch of [insert a more flavorful beverage here] since it's mostly water?".
Having trouble getting more water in your system? I want you to give this a try. Write times on your jug of water with a line to mark each time, for example (9:00am, 10:00am, and so forth). Whenever the time comes around, drink your water to the next line. You'd be amazed at how much water you can consume this way when you're just sitting around at work. Add in the amount of water you'll likely drink while training, and I can almost promise you the amount you consume will be much higher than what you normally consume. Just a little something to try.
