Water is an essential, life-enhancing element. According to experts, the human body is 60%
water. It helps support and maintain essential bodily functions. It is important to properly
hydrate the body in order to prepare to DOMINATE your day and your life.
Here are a few ways hydration can help you DOMINATE:
When you are putting in a lot of effort to DOMINATE your workout, water plays an important
role. Prior to your workout, it helps to metabolize and deliver nutrients that provide your
body with the necessary energy for an optimal workout. Water also helps with joint mobility
and muscle recovery.

Water helps the body to eliminate waste. This is how water helps with weight loss; meanwhile, it also nourishes that skin giving you a DOMINATING glow.
Water helps to regulate the body’s internal temperature. Your body needs to be able to
regulate its temperature in order to keep you cool when you are active. It also works to keep
you warm when the temperature outside begins to drop.
You can DOMINATE your hydration in the following ways:
Drink a minimum of 64 oz of water a day. That is about 8 – 10, 8oz glasses of water.
If you are very active, your water consumption should double the minimum and you should drink at least a 128 oz (1 gallon) of water a day
