Sayyyy WHAT???

Sayyyyyy WHAT?!? You don't like drinking water??? 

Ok soooooo I know water is not #1 on everyone's list of favorite things to drink.....I never used to drink water until I started to see what GREAT things came from drinking it daily and cutting out the *bad* sugary drinks!! Let me just tell you water is the most important thing you can drink and put into your body!!!

Just to name a few benefits you get from drinking water daily.....
-assists in weightloss!
-prevents loss of memory!
-helps reduce urges/cravings!
-it is essential to help your body rid itself of toxins!
-slows the aging process and much much MORE!!!

So now that you know all of those fun little facts ------ do you know how much water you should be drinking each day?? This may surprise you (It surprised me!) but the recommended daily water intake is 1/2 your body weight in ounces of water each day!! For example: if you weighed 150 lbs you would need to be drinking 75 oz of water per day! 

Are you up for the *drink more water challenge*? Let's do it!!!

The PERFECT Home Gym!

Ok so I think sometimes we over think the words ------ 'home gym'! I feel like we think need all this high tech equipment, when really you just need a few basic things that you can find pretty much anywhere and store easily in your house!! 

Here are my suggestions of the 5 essential things for you to create your own little, perfect home gym! 

1. Resistance Bands: 

Resistance bands come in all different sizes, I would suggest having 2-3 sizes/ranges of resistance so that you can change it up a little for different exercises. Also you want to make sure the bands you buy come with a door attachment so that you can attach the bands to a door hinge and be able to have more exercise options!! 

2. Stability Ball: 

Stability balls are great for targeting every muscle group ------ your abs, back, chest, arms, thighs, legs, and buns. You an use it with or without weights, whatever you would prefer! 

3. Dumbbells: 

I would suggest having 2-3 sets of weights ranging from 5-10 lbs. Having more options with weights allows you to try out different exercises to challenge your muscles with lighter and heavier weight! 

4. Exercise Mat (s): 

Exercise mats/flooring are a necessity, even if you do have carpet where you will be working out. Having the extra cushion is essential to help with relieving the the pressure on your joints when you are doing alot of high impact exercises (i.e., jumping and plank holds). 

5. Lastly.....Foam Roller: 

A foam roller is a GREAT piece of equipment to have to massage your worn-out and/or sore muscles. AND you can also incorporate a foam roller into some of your daily exercises!! 

This is my list of TOP 5 Essential Items to create your perfect at home gym, I hope they help you out and show you that you don't need high tech things such as a barbell or squat rack just to get a good workout in at home!!
