I'm sure you've heard how valuble water is, both to keeping you feeling full and that keeping you alive thing. In fact getting at least half of your body weight in ounces of water each day is crucial to keeping you tone and flattening your stomach. A muscle without water is like a solar generator without sun...IT WON'T WORK! That said, the best way to get a head start on the hydration race is to drink 24 ounces of water immediately upon waking. After sleeping for the last seven hours or so, your body is craving to be rehydrated. So give it what it wants. Keep a 12 ounce glass at your bathroom sink and chug two of them right before brushing your teeth in the morning. You'll be well on your way to getting your recommended daily amount by simply following that up with a bottle of water at every one of these six meals thereafter.

FINAL THOUGHTS
Don't understimate the importance of water. For example: Just a 3% decline in body hydration can cause a 10% decrease in strength and 8% decrease in speed!
THIS BLOGS TIP
A good way to keep tab on how much water you need is to keep a water bottle with you and tie a rubberband around it each time you empty it. After a while you'll be able to keep track without the rubberbands.
