What’s With The Gallon Jug?

The Dude With The Jug

Have you ever seen someone in the gym carrying a gallon jug of water? That guys is usually me. But why? Well, one reason being I drink a gallon of water a day. Water has numerous benefits when it comes to living a healthy lifestyle. Check out few of the great water benefits you might not have known.

Water Benefits

  • Weight Loss
  • Food Suppressant
  • Boosts Metabolism
  • Flushes Toxins
  • Relieves Headaches
  • Healthier Looking Skin
  • Muscle Growth aka. GAINS
  • Improved Endurance

If you’re not drinking at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water a day you’re only hurting yourself.

What The Jug Has Done For Me

Whether you drink from a gallon jug, water bottle, or shaker it makes no difference. Drinking from a gallon jug just makes it simple to track my daily water intake. It also motivates me to drink more water and fewer carbonated beverages which are generally loaded with sugar. So the point here is not to get you to drink from a gallon jug, even though I hope you do. My point is to get you to look at your daily water intake and drink more.

Water Jug Motivation

My water jug motivates me to get in the gym! Almost every water jug I have has a motivational quote or something to inspire and keep me focused. Check out just a few of my jugs below and let me know what you think. Also, if you have any ideas on what else I could put on my jug I would love to hear it. Leave a comment and feel free to tag #WaterJugFitness on Instagram and Twitter with your own water jug pictures.

Fitness Transformation

Fitness Transformation

Hey everyone, Jeff here with Water Jug Fitness! What better way to start things off than with a little fitness transformation! Over the past 4 years I’ve become very dedicated to living a healthier lifestyle. Leading a healthy lifestyle isn’t always easy, whether it’s not finding time to get to the gym or choosing a quick meal over the healthy one. I’ve been there, I work 50 plus hours a week (my choice) and have other obligations but I always find time to get my workouts in. Along the way I learned many lessons about proper dieting, supplementation, and training to help transform my body from a scrawny 135lbs to a solid 173lbs in 4 years.

How Can I Help You?

Let me start by telling you, I’m not a professional certified trainer nor did I get any kind of fitness/nutritional degree.  My knowledge comes from hours upon hours of training in the gym.  Along with countless hours watching fitness videos and reading articles to learn more about proper technique, supplements, and dieting.  The way I train, diet, and supplement may not be considered by some to be scientifically correct but I’m producing results and it shows. People will often ask me, what do you do? What supplements are you taking? How much do you train? If you would have told me 4 years ago people would ask for my advice I would have laughed in your face.  If you’re tired of not seeing results or liking what you see you can change, it will just take a little hard-work and commitment. Good news, I’m here to help anyone looking for a little guidance or motivation. Please feel free to email me at waterjugfitness@gmail.com for any fitness questions you have.
