At Summit, the release of the all-new performance products took place and you better believe that I snagged a sampler pack. I wanted to try it ALL!! The sampler pack comes with one serving of all of the new performance products. It's a great way to see if you like the taste and how they make you feel. Since I am a diehard E & E fan, I wanted to put the new Energize to the test.
So last Saturday, I had a nine mile run scheduled with our group that's training for the Rock-N-Roll Half Marathon over labor day weekend. What better way to try out the products. I got up early (like 4:30 early) on Saturday and down went the Energize. Now at Summit, my coach tried it and felt tingling (as it helps circulation before working out). I'm not much for tingling, so I was skeptical (keeping it real here). I did feel a "fresh" feeling but without a lot of tingling, so that worked for me.
While the Energize was kicking in, I filled up my water belt (which has 3 bottles). I filled one with water and the other two with Hydrate, the new during workout beverage. I try not to drink any water until I'm halfway and then about every mile I drink a little. It's a mind game, totally, but it helps me get through it all. I tried the Hydrate before my water and I was pleasantly surprised!! The LAST thing I wanted was for it not to taste good when out on the trail. It was DELISH!!!! A light lemon citrus flavor and it wasn't salty like some sports drinks.
-SIDENOTE:: All the new Performance Line products are naturally flavored and sweetened and they are also NSF certified- which means that they can be used in professional sports (one day....one day I'll need them for that lol!)
I kept drinking the Hydrate until it was gone and then on to the water. whomp whomp haha!
Once I got home, I decided to keep on going with the next step and drink the post workout Recover shake. It's a lightly sweet chocolate post workout protein shake that allows for quicker muscle recovery. I soaked in a hot bath and drank my cold shake. The perfect combo.
On Sunday, we took a day trip to see my great grandmother for her 90th birthday celebration. It was so much fun but a little over four hours in the car did me in. I was stiff and sore by the time we got home, so I decided that I would try the Recharge shake. This drink is a lightly sweetened vanilla shake designed to drink just before bedtime to aid in muscle recover overnight when your body can absorb most nutrient easily while you are resting.
I woke up feeling so much better!! My toes and feet still ached a little from being on my feet so much the past two days, but my muscles felt amazing!!
The only product that I have yet to try out is the Creatine. This can be mixed with a juice or your post workout protein of choice because it doesn't have flavor.
So the verdict:: I'm a FAN! I think that each of these products are valuable to your specific fitness needs. Whether it's to ease soreness or to aid in muscle growth, the new Performance line can fit into your fitness regime.
