Spring Into Fitness Blog Hop Giveaway

Spring Into Fitness

I participated in Runaway Bridal Planner’s health and fitness blogger holiday giveaway hop and New Year’s/new goals blog hop. No one is more interested in the start of spring than me after this winter, so I jumped right in for the “Spring into Fitness” blog hop giveaway, too. What is a Blog Hop? A group of blogs that are all linked together to offer a variety of giveaways with unique giveaways posted on each. Blog readers who come to one blog on the list can see links to all of the others and can click to “hop” on over to the next blog.

Well, you know that I love giveaways and to check out new blogs so I decided to link up again! You can see all of the other participating blogs at the bottom of this post or at  Runaway Bridal Planner!


Here are some great prizes to help you spring forward with your workouts!

Have you tried ZYM? Thanks Marcia for the pic!

Prize 1. ZYM Portable Electrolyte Tablets –  1 container each of 4 flavors (10 tabs/tube) ($40.00 retail value) +a cool ZYM water bottle

As I mentioned on Tuesday, ZYM is like NUUN but it also has a ton of vitamins. They say, “ZYM is the most powerful electrolyte drink tablet our there for intense workouts. It quickly replaces what your body needs – potassium, magnesium, calcium and vitamins.” It has a lots of B6 and B12 which I find really help me with energy, too. I tried the lemon-lime flavor and then wrote to ZYM.

They sent me all 4 flavors to try. The flavors are: Lemon-Lime, Berry, Grape and Orange. The Berry and Grape both have 100 mg of caffeine per tablet. These are my faves for before running or after my morning workouts. I have been using the non-caffeinated flavors for afternoon workouts or for general hydration.

I love this stuff! I think I am becoming addicted. Better than sugary drinks, right? Each tab only has 8 calories and tons of vitamins and electrolytes – so if I have to develop a new addiction, this is a good one! Right?

Prize 2. Hydrapak Soft Flask – 350 ml – one bottle ($18.99 retail value)

The Hydrapak Soft Flask is an innovative, collapsible bottle that is perfect for any on-the-go activity. It squishes down really small and can fit in your jacket pocket or gym bag. When you fill it, you can carry it by holding the soft finger loop. There is a bite valve for no-drip use. This bottle really is no drip. It works.

I brought it to hot yoga and it was great. It rested on it’s side (the bottom is not flat!) but did not drip. The opening is wide, so I found it easy to dry out and clean. Other great features: Optional dust cover included, dishwasher safe (top rack)/freezer safe, and BPA free. The 350 ml size is great for winter. I would want to get the 500 ml size for summer running, I think!

I supported the Indiegogo campaign for Milestone Pod and got 2 as perks. I have not used mine yet because my phone is too old for the app. womp womp. I am waiting until I upgrade, so I will tell you what they say (and if you win you can tell me what to expect):

“Mileage and shoe tracking.  Smart and simple.Tracking the mileage on your shoes has never been so easy, simply lace the pod through your laces and go.  The pod  automatically tracks every mile without having to push a button or worrying about leaving home without it.  No need to be a tech savvy to use this product!  Download our free MilestoneApp for detailed activity data including distance, pace, duration, cadence, and overall shoe mileage.  With the MilestonePod, you will know the moment you need new shoes.”
