DIG DEEP!

    Keep the focus that you started with when you were so emotionally invested in your health in the beginning. Unable to continue to sustain success in your health goals!? Well, the problem might be that you are losing or have lost that excitement to you had when you first got started...Or you've become boring in your approach. One way to get that excitement back is to "Dig Deep" & get a little more adventurous with your work outs. Whatever you use do before change it by multiplying the numbers a bit. If you use to do 3 sets, do 4 or 5 sets..if you use to do 15 reps, do 25 or 30 reps. You should never plateau if you "Dig Deep". 

God bless you guys
& Please workout hard & workout smart

REASONS TO DRINK

9 Reasons Why You Should Fall in Love With Drinking Water

Today is the second part of our mini-series on water, and why you should love drinking this . 

Many of us try to battle our thirst with other beverages like juice, soda, tea and coffee. Most are fine to drink, in moderation. However, water is a wonderful beverage with many benefits. Here are nine reasons you should drink more water:

Reason #1: Drinking water will help you exercise better. When you drink water your body temperature is regulated. This will allow you to be more energetic. Water also helps fuel your muscles.

Reason #2: Drinking water will help you lose weight. Drinking water is an effective appetite suppressant and will reduce your hunger, which means you will eat less. Water also has ZERO calories.

Reason #3: Drinking water will help your mood. Your body feels very good when you drink water and that will make you feel happy.

Reason #4: Drinking water will give you better productivity at work. Since your brain is made up of primarily water, drinking water helps you think better, it helps you stay alert and allows you to focus better on the task at hand.

Reason #5: Drinking water will help relieve fatigue. Water is used to flush toxin and waste from the body. If your body lacks water, your heart will have to work harder to pump oxygenated blood to all cells, as will other vital organs. Your body works harder when you are not drinking enough water, which will make you feel tired.

Reason #6: Drinking water is a natural remedy for headaches. Sometimes a headache is a symptom of dehydration, which can be remedied by drinking water.

Reason #7: Drinking water will help your digestive system and help eliminate constipation. When you drink water your metabolism will increase, which helps in digestion.

Reason #8: Drinking water will properly hydrate your joints and muscles, which will reduce cramps and sprains.

Reason #9: Drinking water will make you look younger with healthier skin. When you are properly hydrated, your skin will look younger. When you drink water, you are replenishing your skin tissues, which moisturizes your skin and increases the elasticity of your skin.

There are many more benefits of water. If you commit to drinking the recommended 8 glasses per day, you should begin to reap from its benefits.

LOOSE BOOTY! NICE BOOTY!

        If you want to lose weight, you probably want to lose it from the right places, and keep it on the right places. The hourglass figure has long been said to be the most attractive, but a study published on the PLoS One website in February 2010 scientifically proved it. The study found that when men looked at women with hourglass figures, the reward center in the brain was triggered. So you want a small waist and a big butt, and if you lose weight strategically, you can attain this intoxicating physique.

Step 1

Reduce your stress level. An article published in the January 15, 2007, San Francisco Chronicle reported on several studies that pointed to stress as a major contributor to the building of abdominal fat. In "The Anxiety & Phobia Workbook," Edmund J. Bourne, Ph.D., suggests regular exercise; deep relaxation techniques such as meditation or yoga; and herbal supplements like 5-HTP, Kava and Valerian root to reduce anxiety.

Step 2

Perform heavy leg exercises. Heavy squats, deadlifts and leg press will shock your body into building and keeping muscle even as you lose fat. Perform deadlifts in the range of 4 to 6 per set, and squats in the bodybuilding rep range of 8 to 12 per set.

Step 3

Get a regular seven to eight hours of sleep a night. A study published in the 2003 issue of International Journal of Obesity found that shift workers who had irregular sleep patterns kept more abdominal fat than their day-worker counterparts, even when their BMI was the same. And a good night of sleep will help you recover from the gym.

Step 4

Reduce your caloric intake, but increase your protein intake. You want to lose fat, but you want to maintain your large glute muscles. A study published in the February 2007 issue of Obesity shows that women who increased their protein intake as they dieted maintained more muscle and felt more satiated.

Step 5

Increase your caloric intake to maintain your new body weight and not lose your butt. The good news is that you can be quite thin at this point, because the butt always holds the last fat reserve on the body.
