Water, thirst, and how much to drink
Right down the hatch!!!

Worth a repeat here at my blog is how much water to drink. You’ve all heard the 8×8 rule. Drink 8 glasses of water, at least 8 ounces each. There is no scientific study to support this, and the truth is, it really depends on your lifestyle. It depends on your nutrition, where you live (climate) your health, your exercise output, what other beverages or medications you take, and so on. On average, humans are over 60% water, and this water provides moisture and carries nutrients, etc. I won’t bore you with details; you can google that. Simply put, if you feel thirsty, drink. A few glasses a day are sufficient for most of you. For those focused on weight loss (or not) remember this: Thirst will often feel like, and rear it’s ugly head as hunger, when it’s really thirst; your body needing water. Just have a glass of water to kill what you think are hunger pangs.

I have a private Personal Training studio in Austin, Texas, in my home. I will also go to my clients homes - and will bring any apparatus if its needed. I believe in a balance of muscle toning/strengthening, flexibility, and cardio/aerobic exercises that are fun and bring results. I also offer expertise and experience in proper and effective nutrition plans for ideal body weight and weight loss, without deprivation. Each clients program and sessions are geared to them personally, to fit into their lifestyle, to be long lasting and effective.
