Training tip: Hydrate, hydrate, hydrate!! Water is the most important nutrient you can put into your body.

It's important to hydrate with at least 10-12 glasses of water per day to transport nutrients, rid the body of waste, add a healthy glow to your skin, and keep your machine running optimally.



Tricks to taking in more water: Keep a large bottle handy, flavor it with lemon or lime, or try carbonated water.
