HYDRATE!

So, to kick off the day with some common knowledge, here are a few good reasons you should drink water consistantly throughout each day.  Sure everyone knows it's the best way to hydrate, it's great on a hot day and it's free!  However, how many people knew this:

• Great hydration means great strength.  By letting your hydration levels drop by just 3% your strength levels can drop by 15%
• Staying hydrated keeps you awake and provides energy for your body. Lack of hydration throughout the day will have you feeling fatigued all day.
• Water aids in the digestive system, helps push muscle-building nutrients from your protein shakes/bars and meals to your muscles to begin the recovery process quicker.
• Water is the main ingredient that makes up the fluid between your joints known as synovial fluid.  Healthy joints prevent injuries which could keep you out of the gym/box for weeks!

All in all, drink water.  Drop the soda, drop the juices and pick up a gallon and finish it today!
