My Challenge and What Helped Me


I made a personal challenge to myself this year.  I'm going to challenge myself personally and professionally.  So I decided to start with doing a 4 hour Spin-A-Thon for the American Diabetes Association.

I signed up to pledge myself to 4 hours of spinning and I am very excited to start off 2014 in this way. My training plan was taking RPM spin and GGX spin three times a week for endurance, CX Work for core strengthening and Body Flow to stretch and strengthen the muscles,  and of course AdvoCare Spark and Pro-20.  AdvoCare provide the energy, vitamins, amino acids and proteins. Weeks after weeks of training and utilizing my Advocare made me feel confident and prepared.  It provided adequate nourishment my body needed during my training.

The day of the 4 hour Spin-A-Thon for the American Diabetes Association that was host by Gold's Gym March 1, 2014 was here and I felt a little nervous.   My morning breakfast consisted of oatmeal with apples, raisins, and dates and I drank some Advocare Spark to start the morning right.  I arrived kinda early to the event so I was able put my gym bag away in the locker at the Marley Station Gold's Gym and kept my Advocare Performance pack close so I can replenish of all the nutrients I will lose while I spin for 4 hours.  An hour before the event started I  ate my VO2 - Prime Nutrient Bar which is actually very good and tasty.  Vo2 Prime gave me what I body needed along with Advocare Rehydrate  peach flavor electrolyte replacement drink mix on just 8oz of water.  Woohoo! That was great for the first 2 hours.

Rehydrate Electrolyte Replacement Drink  - provides the necessary nutrients to maintain proper metabolism and delay the onset of fatigue. It hydrates your body by re-establishing your electrolyte balance with its superior formulation. Rehydrate Drink has a low glycemic index that produces a more gradual insulin response and is isotonic, thus providing rapid gastric emptying and rapid rehydration. Furthermore, this drink helps support the body’s energy cycle and provides carbohydrate fuel necessary for energy production.

  • Helps prevent cramping during and after exercise
The last 2 hours I ate a banana and other fruits provided by Chik-Fil a.  I had another Rehydrate this time it was key lime cherry and it just as good as the peach flavor.  The Rehydrate really assisted the last 2 hours of the spin a thon and took my physical fitness to another level.  Woohoo! It felt good too!  I felt energized after the 4 hours of spin not like I had the life sucked out of me if I had drank water the entire time.  After the event was over I drank an AdvoCare Pro-20 and I tell you  that was like instant gratification for my body and my body needed it.  I was able to attend the after party lunch for a couple of hours and visit with my father later that day without feeling tired or worn out.  Later that night I took  AdvoCare Nighttime Recovery which repaired my muscles after spin a thon event and the next morning felt a little soar for 30 minutes then I felt better after a few stretches.  The rest of the day I was out and about taking care my errands.  Thanks AdvoCare
