Water Weight (To those who don't already know)

Hello Everyone,

I know it's satisfying when you leave the gym after a nice run, cycle, sauna, etc., and you notice you weigh two or three pounds less than when you came in. I'm sorry to tell you but you did not lose three pounds of fat in one workout session. It is very appealing to see on the scale, however, that is the water weight you have sweat out during your workout. It is crucial that you regain every pound of it back by re hydrating yourselves. Remember, dehydration can cause things like increased respiration and heart rate, increased body temperature, extreme fatigue, headaches, nausea, and more. So be careful and stay hydrated friends!

Thanks for reading.

Before it all begins!

Hello Everyone,

Just a few more days until it all begins. You should use this time to wean yourselves off of the fatty and high caloric foods (If you haven't already). And remember, it's a Fat Crash! So be prepared to engage in cardiovascular exercise often. However, everyone is different so don't be afraid to ask me any questions. Have fun everyone and let the competition begin!

Good luck to you all.
