IBPPFT FITNESS TIP: Whether you’re an elite athlete or a weekend warrior, drinking water during exercise is essential.

Your ability to perform athletically can decline with a very small amount of dehydration. Just losing 2% of your body weight in fluid can decrease performance by up to 25%.”

Water helps your body to exercise efficiently. It lubricates your entire body -- without it, you’re like the Tin Man without his oil. It’s a vital part of the many chemical reactions in the body. “If these reactions slow down then tissues heal slower, muscle recovery is slower and the body is not functioning at 100% efficiency

General guidelines suggest that we are to drink 8 ounces of water during your warm-up (or 20 to 30 minutes before exercising), 7 to 10 ounces every 10 to 20 minutes during exercise, and 8 ounces of water within 30 minutes after exercising.

Today I’m going to break down some of the most popular ways you can measure progress.

BMI
BMI stands for Body Mass Index, which is defined as a formula used to estimate your body fat in proportion with your height. Once calculated, your BMI is compared to a table to help determine your weight range (underweight, normal weight, overweight or obese). A BMI between 18.5 to 25 is generally considered to be within the healthy weight range.

Weight
Measuring your weight with a set of scales is an easy way to track your progress at home, but it does have its flaws. A basic set of bathroom scales can’t determine whether you have actually lost fat or overall mass (which may include water). You should weigh yourself only once a week!

Waist size
Measuring your waist size can help estimate the amount of visceral fat, or the fat distribution within your torso. Many health professionals use a combination of BMI and waist size to determine whether their patient fits in the healthy weight range.

As a general indicator, the theory says your waist should be less than half of your height measurement. So, someone that is 170cm tall should have a waist size smaller than 85cm.

Progress Photos
I recommend taking full-body progress photos every four weeks. Progress photos can help show visible changes, which don’t always translate on the scales! Photos can also be a great motivator, keeping you on track to achieve your fitness goals. As the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words. I also need to add, this is by far my FAVOURITE way of keeping track of progress. You can be surprised just how many small changes occur in your body, that you miss because you see yourself daily in a mirror. This is especially a good way to measure change for those people who haven't seen a shift in the scales - a photo can prove just how far you have come.

IBPPFT TIP of the Week:.......LEG PRESS is great for the stimulation of the quadriceps, hamstrings, and calves which can lead to a massive lower body. But you must use a variety of leg exercises, including the squat and leg press in order to get maximum lower body results. Although both exercises work essentially the same muscles, the emphasis of each is slightly different, which means muscle development is different as well.........For Personal Training information and/or Group Fitness information:

IBPPFT Workout Tip of the Week.........Wearing a body wrap belt underneath your clothing while working out helps to increase sweat production so you lose water weight. If you wrap the slimmer belt around your stomach while doing cardiovascular activity, it will help raise your core temperature, producing more sweat as your body tries to cool itself. A slimmer belt is a neoprene wrap designed to help you reduce the circumference of your midsection through compression of your fat cells. Wearing a slimmer belt while working out can help you lose inches, but it can't do it by itself. You still need to continue to workout regularly and eat healthy meals ....
