Hi! Today I want to write something about the benefits of drinking... water. This is a very trite subject and has been mentioned by many people in many places, especially in breakfast TV and generally in the media. In the past I wasn’t as crazy as I am now about drinking water. I drank it, but the sparkling one. Now, since I do my workouts regularly, I pay attention to the amount of water I consume during each day. I'm trying to drink about 2 liters per day. Rehydration of the body is very important! I've noticed that drinking water makes me less... sleepy. I just drink a sip of water and immediately my concentration increases. It is something essential for me during classes or difficult days. What to do if you don’t like the taste of water? I personally recommend to add to it the juice of freshly squeezed lemon or vitamin effervescent tablets. Then the water gets tasty and immediately it is easier to drink the required amount thereof per day.

So from today - we drink water instead of juice or other drinks that are full of sugar!

Hi! Today I want to write something about my beliefs, views which have radically changed over the last few years. As I wrote earlier, I love jogging. But this is not the only thing that I do. I love to ride a bike, I love to practice CrossFit. Generally - sport gives me a lot of pleasure and self-confidence. But it wasn't always like that! I couldn't always find the pleasure in this 'getting tired routine'. Once, I gave up on sport and I still wanted to lose weight through the different diets (ah the teenage years!). But recently I realized that I changed how I think about it. I don't like thinness, leanness, I like athletic body where the muscles are visible. I don't like the model figures but rather the athletic ones. And I aspire to have one and it inspires me to take care of my own body. Maybe a model has a 'perfect' skinny figure but she can't even do five push-ups! The strength you get and fight with yourself that you have to do, that is what turns and motivates me recently! I wish all of you to find the pleasure and the enjoyment in sport!
