Skin not smooth and clear? Drink more water

Feeling fatigued? Drink more water

Bloated? Drink more water

Need to lose some weight? You guessed it, drink more water.

Water, water, water.

Yup, it seems water is the magic elixir that can fix a multitude of beauty and health issues.  And I can’t argue with the benefits of gulping close to triple digits ounces each day in your quest to get lean.

Water helps your body run more efficiently therefore your body can spend it’s energy doing what you want it to do, shed fat. It helps you feel more satisfied when you are watching your calories and it keeps you hydrated so that you can push extra hard in your workouts and thereby burn more calories…that means faster weight loss!

But what if you have a hard time remembering to drink water or worse yet, what if you don’t care for the taste of water?

I made a super quick video for you it’s only 48 seconds and I think it’ll help you a bunch.

Do you have any water drinking secrets? I’d love to hear them. Leave a comment on my blog.

In my quest to stay up on what’s new in the fitness world and sniff out any useful nutrition tips for my clients and the members of my weight Loss Boot Camp I read about 5 magazines and 1-2 books cover to cover every month.

I have to say, most of the time, what I read is simply a new spin on the basics: Eat clean and work your butt off .

This morning however, I learned a little tip that all this time even I didn’t know!

One of the exercises that we do almost daily in my weight loss boot camp is the good ‘ol fashioned jump rope.

But did you know that jumping rope has been scientifically proven to reduce cellulite?

It’s a fact that I just learned recently and it solidifies it as one of my all time favorite workouts for my clients.

The reason it can improve the look of those unsightly bumps is because of the rhythmic movement and it’s effect on the lymphatic system.

Have you seen those different very expensive cellulite treatments like velasmooth and endermologie? What they do is based very much on the rhythmic massage and what it does to your lymphatic system.
