Drinking Water and Why!

Let me ask you, how much water do you drink each day if you're honest with yourself? 

 

I would suggest to drink anywhere between 4-6 liters of clear water throughout the day to help improve your progress, let me explain to you why this is so important for faster results. 

Quicker fat loss

By drinking more water you instantaneously spike your metabolic rate which means you're going to be burning through more calories 24/7, ultimately equating to quicker fat loss. Some research suggests that increasing your water intake on a daily basis can elevate your metabolic rate by as much as 30%! This may not be totally accurate, but I do know it has a signifiant impact on your fat loss and it's pretty easy for you to apply today.

More muscle 

As you increase your water intake throughout the day you'll also increase your lean muscle "mass." Remember that your muscles are approximately 80% water based, therefore your water intake is going to have a very significant impact on the overall muscle mass you carry. By increase your water you're going to make your muscles fuller for longer, instantly improving your muscle volume. Again, just by drinking more water. 

Better performance 

One of the best things about increasing your water intake is the fact you are always in a state of hydration which is key to optimal performance in the gym, which ultimately leads to quicker fat loss and more muscle (as you're able to work harder in the gym!). Being dehydrated is one of the most common reasons you under perform in the gym and your muscles fatigue quickly. Get your water intake up and you'll instantly feel the benefits in the gym, which will also show in your physique. You'll also find you get much better pumps when you drink more as well.

The list goes on, with things like better cognitive function/mental focus being another key benefit of drinking plenty of water. However the 3 points above are of most interest to you and your body composition goals. 

Make a BIG effort to drink the amount that's given on here each day and to also hold yourself accountable, so you never fail to miss drinking enough water. By doing this you're going to see many positive changes taking place, I promise.

Side Note: Add some flavor and nutrition to your water try adding a slice of lemon and lime, or even green tea bags. These all carry health and fat loss benefits, as well as adding flavor to your water.
