High Intensity Treadmill Workout

One aspect of health that is always hard for me to stay on track of is hydration. I've never been one to fully commit to the eight cups of water per day rule, but lately here in the Georgia humidity, I have no choice. I've been trying my best to start my day with a big glass of water before I eat my breakfast, but then I find myself throughout the day sipping on the kid's drinks and constantly pouring myself massive vats of ice water to prevent me from burning like a crisp. 

When I workout though, I tend to want something more than just water. There's something about drinking something that actually tastes good that gives you a little zip and some pep in your step. I remember in high school when I ran track, and vitaminwater had just really started becoming a thing, it was a daily ritual for me to walk to the local store after school and get myself a drink before practice started. My favorite flavors were Squeezed, Rise, and Power-C, and to this day, they're still my favorite drinks to sip on during a workout to help me stay hydrated. I love that they taste great, and help to replenish electrolytes and vitamins that are depleted through sweat when you workout. 

One of my favorite ways to get my sweat on during the summer months is with a High Intensity Treadmill Workout. I love that it's something I can do at home on a day when I can't make it to the gym, but it still gives me a huge burn and makes me feel like I worked hard, even if it was only for 30 minutes. The one I do most often is this one that I'm sharing in the picture below. I like that it challenges me to run a faster pace than I would on my own outdoors, but is still manageable enough that I don't feel like I'm going to fly off the back of the treadmill and scare my children half to death.

Right now when you head into your local Target store and take a "shelfie" with the vitaminwaters and text it to 89000 you can get an exclusive 15% off cartwheel coupon off of your next purchase of 20oz vitaminwater.
