Probably best known for his creation of P90X, fitness trainer Tony Horton wrote a recent article for a pretty simple plan he calls the 8X8. What does this mean? Here it is in Tony’s words:

Do yourself a big favor and try this experiment for one week. Hit the hay eight hours before the alarm goes off and drink water (nothing else) eight times in a day. Eight ounces is a small glass, so spread them out throughout the day. Don’t try to drink large amounts all at once because you’ll lose out on the benefits and stress out the kidneys. Follow this simple 8 & 8 plan every day and you’ll find that life will get a little easier, a little less stressful, and a lot more productive. It also contributes to weight loss and better health.

After my allergies clobbered me over the past two weeks, my workout plan and nutrition suffered as I reached for comfort foods to sooth my soul. Now that the allergies are under control, I’m going to follow Tony’s 8×8 plan for the following week (and hopefully beyond). Why don’t you join me? If you do, let me know how it goes for you too and I’ll post an update at the end of the week.

- All the best in health and fitness
