Fitness Tip of the Week- Drink Ice Cold Water to Lose WeightWater is vital to the function of all bodily systems. In fact, without the proper intake of water, it is very difficult to lose weight. The recommended daily intake of water is six to eight 8-ounce glasses of water (64 to 80 oz.). Surpisingly, the colder the water the better for weight loss. If you drink the recommended minimum of 64 ounces a day of water at 32 degrees F, your body will expend an extra 70 calories just to warm that water up to body temperature. This may seem like a small amount, but over a year this adds up to approximately 7 pounds of body fat. So go ahead and cool off this summer with plenty of ice cold water and shed that body fat!

How Can Personal Training Benefit You?
Everyone’s body is different for many reasons. The combination of genetics, diet, and physical activity shape our bodies into the appearance we see when we look in the mirror. Many people make the very wise decision to lead a healthier lifestyle by exercising regularly; however, they often take the wrong approach and never quite see the results they were looking for. If you decided to take up golf and wanted be able to hit a 300-yard drive straight down the fairway, how would you approach this goal? You could just buy some clubs and balls and then spend years hacking away, hoping that you are making the right adjustments. Or you could take some lessons and achieve your goal much faster and more efficiently. (Even Tiger has a swing coach!) The point is, you could spend years in the gym trying to change that image you see in the mirror, but if you don’t have an exercise program tailored to your needs, you may never see the change you desire. And even worse, if you are not using the proper form and conducting the exercises safely, your good intentions could result in injury. Listed below are some of the services a personal trainer can provide you.
