How Water Can Improve Your Health By: Sharae Townsend 5 Benefits of Drinking More Water Water helps unclog pores and clear the skin. Water aids digestion and keeps things going with the flow; water also helps the kidneys do their job to flush out the toxins in our bodies. Water can prevent cramps and strains which may occur when the body is dehydrated. When we sweat our muscles lose water so we need to drink more water to give those muscles fuel. Water can also help us cut calories; drinking water makes you feel full so it can curb some of those junk food cravings.

In fact, many of the members we have here at Double Edge Fitness initially joined because they needed a more efficient workout that didn’t require them to be in the gym for hours at a time.

Jonathan’s Welded Story – Day 1: Karen My Welded story begins at a party in Vegas the summer of 2012. I showed up knowing only one person that I went to high school with in Florida, but quickly began making friends. One of these friends was, coincidentally enough, Alvie. As Alvie and I grew closer, I began to see how passionate he was about his training, both for himself and those he trains. Having never been very athletic nor spent more than a few days exercising in a row since high school, I was nervous to try Welded; however, Alvie was not only encouraging, but very persistent. I finally caved and decided to give it a try. Day 1 workout: Karen, 150 wall balls for time. Wow, all my fears came true. This stuff was tough. I left never wanting to go back again, but Alvie told me to just...Read more
