Benefits of water

Ever wonder why we should drink lots of water?

I stumbled upon this website and thought I'd share this with you.

Benefits of water:

• It increases energy and relieves fatigue
• Promotes weight loss
• Flushes out toxins
• Improves skin Complexion
• Maintains Regularity
• Boosts Immune System
• Natural Headache Remedy
• Prevents Cramps and Sprains
• Puts you in a good mood
• Save money (especially if you constantly carry a big water bottle with you)

For more details about these benefits click here

This is my regular water bottle that I bring to the gym, at school (when I don't forget it) and everywhere else. This holds 2.2L of water.

I know this water bottle is big and not that pretty. 

I carry this around because I'm always thirsty and when I don't have water with me, I end up buying coffee, cold drinks or expensive water bottles 

If you're bored of plain water, stay tuned. On my next post I will tell you what I've been doing to make drinking water less boring.

P90X Vs. Insanity

Winter is almost over and you want to get your beach body back before summer ends! 

Do you have a goal in the next few months? I do! I'm going to Europe with my boyfriend, so I need to lose weight, and I need to lose it fast!!

I was thinking about which workout I should try. P90X or Insanity? 

These workout videos are about an hour long. If you want to really lose weight, schedule in an hour workout or consider it as a "meeting" you can't miss. 

Insanity

• Heavy cardio, that targets weight loss directly
• No equipments needed

P90X

• Weight training with cardio
• You need dumbbells with different weights and a pull up bar

What I really like about both programs is that you have to take a fitness test every 2 weeks to see if your improving. For example, with Insanity, you have to time yourself how many jump squats, suicides, pushups and Heisman's you can do in about a minute or two

Click this link to find more information about which workout works better for you

I like insanity better, I don't have dumbbells or a pull up bar at home. I will start today, and I will take a before and after picture to show you the results one month from today!!

30 ways to lose weight permanently

I saw this posting on a bulletin board at the gym I go to and thought I'd share!
30 ways to lose weight permanently....

I really like number 25 "throw out large plates". This got me wondering. When I got home, I noticed I fill my plate with a lot of food. The smaller the plate, the less you eat! I know what you're thinking "get up and get more food". NO! Never go for seconds if you want to lose weight!

10 minute workouts

I know how hard it is to find time every day to workout. If we really want to lose a few pounds here and there, we have to try.
Whether it's waking up, sleeping, or somewhere in between to sneak a 10 minute workout.

Here are some equipment free workouts that will help you burn fat. If you can work out for more than 10 minutes, great! If not, that's fine, do as much as you can.

• Squat jump
• Jumping jacks
• Lay down and try to lift both legs up to a 90 degree angle (this works on your core)
• Plank position, then try to move one knee at a time closer to your elbow
• Jog or run outside for 10 minutes (this would be great if you have kids and they wanted to go to the park)
• If you have stairs high enough at home, or if you live in an apartment building, run up and down the stairs for 10 minutes

Hope this helps, I know it helped me and a couple of my friends.

Good luck :)
