JOINING THE GYM

The gym. A scary prospect for those of you who have never been to a gym I bet, that included me before I joined just over a week ago. I've been wanting to join the gym for a few years now but I never really had the motivation to go, mainly because I was scared of going as I haven't had many sporty friends who actively go to the gym on a regular basis or are even interested in sport full stop. I am interested in a few sports myself (watching, not so much participating unfortunately). I have enjoyed watching the tennis along with the Olympics and any athletics tournaments for as long as I can remember. At school, I was an active youngster, studying GCSE PE as well as participating in competitive swimming, cross country running, biking and walking with the family at weekends and long distance running in athletics. However, since starting my A Levels and moving to a different part of the country for University, I didn't really participate in any sort of exercise for around 4 years apart from the occasional jog on the treadmill if I was ever at home (which is a very rare occurrence).

THE IMPORTANCE OF WATER

Coursework season is among me hence my lack of posts but once these next few weeks are done, there will be blog posts a plenty. Water. I have to admit my daily water intake is very low. I just struggle to drink during the day as I'm a slow enough drinker as it is and I kinda sometimes forget to drink which is really bad! It's not just water I don't drink, its fluids in general. I buy fizzy pop very rarely and even when I'm on a night out drinking alcohol, I hardly drink any water before going out or after meaning I wake up with a sore head, a dry mouth and feeling very dehydrated in the morning which is horrific! I thought I would've learned by now but I haven't - bad habits are hard to break but I'm determined to break this one!

TOXIN KILLER JUICE

I have finally gotten round to writing a post about a juice that I have recently made by juicing. If you don't know what juicing is, you can read my previous post all about it here.

JUICING

As I was watching This Morning last week, a guest called Jason Vale caught my eye. I had never heard of this man until then and when I discovered that he used to suffer from obesity and severe psoriasis as well as smoking 2-3 packets of cigarettes and drinking up to 14 pints of lager a day, I was in complete and utter shock. He looked as fit as a fiddle due to a major lifestyle change; he began juicing. He is now known as the 'Juice Master' and it's totally understandable why.
