Role of Water in Fat Loss Follow @CoachFabs

Did you know that when you're properly hydrated, about two-thirds of your body is water—muscle tissue is even higher, at around 70 percent, while fat is less. 

Muscle powers your body and fat protects it. Put two and two together, and you may infer that water is vital to the things that make your body do stuff. When you don't drink enough water, your body declines into a state we call dehydration. Get too dehydrated, and your body will not function properly, which isn't too surprising when your body's low on such a vital nutrient.

So what does water do for you? 

You'll often hear claims that water helps chemical reactions, regulates your body temperature, and lubricates your joints, eyes, and spinal cord. 

Sure, it does all of this stuff. In fact, since you're mostly made up of water, a case can be made that it does almost everything. Your body doesn't work, at all, without water. You can live days, weeks, and, sometimes, even months without food. But you can't live even a few days without water.

Water and fat loss 

Water is the main component involved in mobilizing fat to be used as energy when we workout. A well-hydrated body has higher levels of oxygen in the bloodstream, translating into an increased ability to burn fat as fuel. The more efficiently you burn fat as fuel, the more effectively you exercise, leading to a better overall body composition.

How much water do I need?

It's said you need about 8 glasses of water a day. This will vary due to your activity level and environmental conditions. As a general rule, add a couple of glasses during the hot days of summer and the dry, cold nights of winter. During exercise, you may lose a quart an hour or more. 

NOTE: While all liquids provide water, sugar, diuretics (caffeine, etc.), and carbonation reduce the hydration effect. Combining all three, as in soda, can reduce the hydration efficiency of the liquid to almost nil.

Be Great not Average Follow @CoachFabs

In life we are all given talents, some might have one talent, two in some cases and maybe three. I have noticed that we as individuals tend to concentrate in trying to acquire more talents, those that we do not have and admire in others.

In the process we end up hiding those talents we have, we neglect them, because in many instances they are things that come to us with little or no effort. 

Have you ever considered there is a reason why you have been given those talents? Are we to hide them or should we take those talents and make them grow? The only way we can become great at something in life is by looking at ourselves, finding what our talents are and making them grow.

If we concentrate on other endeavors we will become average in life, and nobody wants to be just average.

Stay with the Fight Follow @CoachFabs

I have loved martial arts since I was very young. If memory serves me right, I took my first Karate lesson when I was 6 years old. Since then I have gone through a huge variety of arts, even competing in a few.

Because I love martial arts then it becomes easy for me to want to do a martial arts type workout, even when I don't feel like working out. Body Combat has become my go to program for those days in which working out seems well ... Too much work ...

Find something you love to do, so when you feel like not working out you have a go to program to do.

Why I decided to become a Fitness Coach Follow @CoachFabs

 Life seems to be very interesting at teaching us the greatest lessons, that will stretch us and help us grow. 

Growing up I was always the quiet guy, scared of talking to people. During my High-school years I was super skinny and a lot of my class mates made fun of me, constant ridicule took a big toll on my self-esteem, self doubt and feelings of not being good enough affected my relationships.

As years went by these feelings kept hunting me, I had to prove to myself that I could do all these things that many others could never do, but still felt I was not good enough.  On one of these journeys as I was preparing to try and prove to myself again that I was good enough I came across a good friend of mine.

He believed in me, and my potential, but why was this different, my parents and family have always believed in me. Well when you have low self esteem and self doubt you feel like your loved ones do it because they are supposed to, right? But this friend didn't have to.

Little by little I started believing in his words, what if he was right? What if .... Before I knew it I knew, I started to believe in myself, and then I learned to see in others their potential.

That is why I became a Beachbody coach, we can chose to make a difference on other people's lives any way we want, I chose to do it in a way that will impact not only their emotional but also their physical self.

Look at your body and the systems it has:

Circulatory System Integumentary System   Skeletal System Reproductive System Digestive System Urinary System	Respiratory System Endocrine System Lymphatic System Muscular System Nervous System Immune System.

On the last few years we have been hearing a lot about GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms) these are organisms that have been modified to allow them to withstand pesticides or deceases that other wise would have made it more costly to grow these products.

We are constantly over farming our lands, depleting them of all nutrients, did you know an apple 10 years ago had a lot more nutrients that they do today? So we have become a nation of over fed and under-nourished individuals. It takes a lot more food to be able to provide our body with the essential nutrients it requires to function properly.

Anatomy of the DeadLift Follow @CoachFabs

This exercise works nearly every muscle in the body and it is very effective at developing the lumbosacral and trapezius muscles. It also works the gluteal muscles and quadriceps intensely.

How to perform a Dead Lift

• Stand facing the barbell, contract the abdominal muscles and slightly arch your back. Bend the knees until the thighs are horizontal with the floor.
• Grasp the barbell with the extended arms, place one hand in an overhead grip and the other hand with an underhand grip, this will keep the bar from rolling, which allows you to use heavier weights.
• Inhale and hold your breath, contract the abdominal muscles and low back and raise the bar straightening the legs and allowing the bar to slide up the shins. When the bar reaches the knees, straighten the torso while straightening the legs. Exhale at the end of the movement.
• Never straighten your back throughout the exercise.

How to prevent getting a Herniated Disc

When lifting very heavy weights it is recommended you create what is called a "block". This will keep you from rounding your back.

So how do you create a block?

Expand the chest and hold a deep breath filling the lungs, this will support your ribcage and prevents the chest from collapsing forward.

Contract the abdominal muscles, supporting the core and increase the intra-abdominal pressure, this will keep your torso in the right position.

Finally, arch the low back by contracting the lumbar muscles, this will position the spinal muscles in extension.

Anatomy of the Squat Follow @CoachFabs

The squat is on of the main bodybuilding movements, it utilizes a big part of the muscular system and it also utilizes the cardiovascular system.

How to Properly Squat

With the barbell resting on a stand, slide under the bar and place it on the trapezius a bit higher than the posterior deltoid.

Inhale deeply, as to maintain the intrathoracic pressure, which will prevent the torso from collapsing forward, slightly arch the back, by rotating the pelvis forward, contract the abdominal core, look straight ahead.

Place both feet parallel, about shoulder width apart. And start going down.

When the thighs are horizontal to the floor, straighten the legs and lift the torso to return to the initial position.
