This week, I would like you to focus on water. Whether that water is inside or outside your body, it’s going to do you tons of good.
Drinking enough water when starting a new exercise program actually helps you burn more fat, and if that wasn’t enough, it also makes us less bloated! When the water balance is right, the body doesn’t have to hold onto water, so bloating diminishes. A good rule of thumb is to drink half of your body weight in ounces. I squeeze some lemon juice in my water to make it more attractive to my senses. 
It’s also the week for water aerobics! Water takes the pressure off joints and ligaments, so if you are overweight, have knee or other joint issues, or if you are pregnant, swimming is something you can always do and feel good about. Also, since you are moving your whole body while swimming, you’re doing one of the best fat-burning cardio exercises there is.
Swimming can also become a meditative workout. The repetitive motion while doing the breaststroke, cutting through the water, which is caressing the body, breath after breath, can help you release tension and clear the mind from thoughts of worry and information. And, knowing how important it is to take in enough oxygen, swimming trains your lungs to work more efficiently, which makes the whole experience a well rounded, highly effective workout for you on every level.
This week, I would like you to challenge yourself by making it to a pool, inside or outside, and swim a few laps. Enjoy the experience with all of your senses, trusting that it is one of the best workouts you will have this week. Is it something you like? How does being in the water make you feel? Is this the workout you have been waiting to find for a truly joyful experience?
Live Life Loud and let me know how it goes!

Thanks, Tanja!
You have helped me in so many ways and the words “Live Life Loud” is my mantra 
Today I have a PT, but it’s YOU who helps me in the everyday life. Water – Sleep – Rest – Fitness – Mindfullness
Your body-mind Helth, Fitness really helps me! The inside and outside needs to be on the same level, but sometimes in life it’s hard to get this in balance. Right now I’m in the middle of a devorce and all people who had “been there, done that” know what I am going through. It’s stressful and you don’t know where your life going. And there you are with your pep-talk, and spirit to help so many people. You and your book “Livskraft” get me and my life on track again. With A LOT of planning, training, mindfullness I’ve lose over 25 kilo. I am in a better shape than ever and in spite of the devorce I feel so damn good
