Did you know that the average human body is made up of 50-75% water?

The human brain is comprised of 75% water.

So the benefits of drinking water are pretty awesome sauce.

Like, it…

Increases energy. 

Flushes out toxins.

Promotes weight loss. (YEY!)

Improves skin complexion.

Boosts the immune system.

Is a natural headache remedy. 

Maintains regularity (of you know what…).

Prevents cramps and strains.

Just to name a few. 

You get the idea.


I’m sure you’ve heard the old rule of thumb about drinking 8 glasses of 8oz of water (or 64 oz) a day. There are other more detailed calculations based on your age, height, how much you exercise, etc.

When I was training for figure competitions, my coach recommended that I drink a gallon of water a day. That’s 128 oz! Far from your recommended 64 oz! And once I got closer to a show, I was drinking a lot more. That was mainly to flush everything out, especially with all the protein I was consuming. 

So what do I do these days? Well, I basically try to make sure my urine is on the lighter side (sorry if that was TMI). Well, minus the neon color it changes from certain vitamins I take. LOL! 

I carry around a Klean Kanteen bottle that holds 40oz. My goal is to drink 3 of those a day. So nearly a gallon. And that’s of just water. That’s not counting coffee and tea. And wine. LOL!


I try to go through one of those when I workout. And all the teachers know that bathroom breaks are often few and far between, so I barely get through another bottle during the school day. Again, 3 of those bottles is the goal. Almost managed it today!


Speaking of which, here is today’s back/tri/some abs workout:


Drink your water.

Do what makes you happy.
