WATER GUIDE

WATER GUIDE:
 
 
5 KEY TIPS FOR A RIPPED PHYSIQUE


Water is the fluid of life. About 70% of the earth is covered in it. Water is needed for every metabolic process in the human body. While training for life and morphing into your ideal version of “YOU” keep everything lubricated with H2O. Here are 5 things to keep in mind as you drink.

1. ARE YOU GETTIN GENOUGH

Do not count coffee and soda when tallying up your daily water intake. In fact, they function as diuretics and strip the body of this much needed nutrient. When this occurs the body then fights to retain water levels causing bloating (see point#4). Conventional wisdom tells you 6-8 glasses of water is enough per day. If you're training for an unconventional physique, you need more. Aim for at least half your bodyweight in ounces a day. Adjust this amount dependant on your level of conditioning and intensity of training.

2. WATER CLEAR OUT TOXINS

Water flushes out toxins and other metabolic waste products from the body. Water is especially important when following a "high protein" diet, as it helps remove excess nitrogen, urea (a toxic substance), and ketones (by products of protein synthesis). If weight training to increase definition (tone) you will need even more water to help your kidneys do their work.

3. WATER HELPS METABOLIZE FAT

Without enough water your kidneys will not function properly. When this happens, some of the filtering workload is transferred to the liver. The livers main function is to metabolize stored fat for energy. If the liver is doing both jobs, it will process less fat. Studies have shown that consuming 2 liters throughout the day leads to increased calorie burn on a daily basis. Water also mitigates feelings of hunger.

4. WATER REDUCES FLUID RETENTION

Contrary to popular belief, drinking water can actually help you shed excess water weight. When water is in short supply the body stores it in extra-cellular space. This storage can lead to bloating. If water retention is a chronic problem, it may be because there is too much salt in your diet. Read your food labels and try to consume less than 2400mg per day. The higher your sodium intake the harder the body will work to retain its’ precious resource (water).

5. WATER KEEPS YOU REGULAR

Too little water, and your body pulls it from various organs including the colon. When this occurs it can lead to constipation and impeded digestion.
Keep water in mind as you work, live and play. Take small steps every day to reach the “Best” version of you!

Improve Your Sweatitude: 9 Motivation Rut Busters

 
Motivation Rut Buster # 4
No more wimping out on your workouts. Here's how to lose the excuses, make over your motivation, and finally score the body you want.


“I’m getting nowhere, so why bother?”
 
Rut Buster: First of all, swap the carrot for the stick. “You didn’t gain 10 pounds in 10 days, so it might take a while to lose it,” Karas says. “Be patient and visualize yourself in leaner days for positive reinforcement.” Then look beyond the scale. “Remind yourself that the benefits of exercise — being healthier, happier, and living longer — are so much greater than the weight loss,” says Kelly McGonigal, PhD, a psychologist at Stanford University. But if downsizing is your main motive, raise your game: Pick up your walking pace or add reps or sets.
“You can’t expect bigger results by doing the same thing,” McGonigal says.

“I bulk up too fast.”
 
Rut Buster: If you want a fool proof formula for sculpting sleek limbs, “select a weight that you can lift 15 to 18 times,” says Michele Olson, PhD, a FITNESS advisory board member and professor of exercise science at the University of Alabama at Montgomery. “That amount is not heavy enough to build any bulk, but your muscles will gain greater tone and increased staying power.”

“No matter how hard I try, something always foils my workout schedule.”
 
Rut Buster: Get a plan and then grab a pen. People who have a process goal, such as a target number of weekly workouts, stick to their routines with significantly more success than those who focus on a big-picture outcome — such as losing 20 pounds — or go along without any specific goal, a study in the International Journal of Sport and Exercise Psychology found; they also feel less stressed about squeezing in exercise. Next, schedule your gym time just as you would a business meeting. “That way, when someone asks if you can meet at 5, you can honestly say, ‘Sorry, I have an appointment; how about 4 instead?’” says Sherri McMillan, owner of Northwest Personal Training in Vancouver, Washington.

Rut Buster: Swap endless treadmill time for circuits, suggests trainer Jim Karas, author of The 7-Day Energy Surge. According to a study in the British Journal of Sports Medicine, circuit training beats aerobic exercise for building upper-body strength while giving an equal boost in cardio capacity. Try Karas’s technique: Alternate one-minute sets of upper- and lower-body moves, resting for 30 seconds in between and doing each set with enough weight so that your muscles cry uncle at 10 reps.

"I'm too far from my goal, so why start?"

Rut Buster: How about this for an incentive: Just by walking a little more every day, you can shrink your waist in 12 weeks.
When formerly sedentary women consistently tallied a weekly average of 470 steps more a day -- that's about a five-minute walk -- than they had the week before, they lost a quarter inch from their waistlines without dieting. Whether you have a lot of weight to shed or a certain distance to run, break up your goal into smaller units, suggests trainer Tracey Mallett, creator of the Lose the Belly Flab DVD. Little victories, like dropping a pound a week or running an extra minute without stoping, will fuel your momentum.
