Taking On The #SparklingDetox Challenge
It has been super hot and super rainy in Maryland for the last month. Like, super hot and super rainy. And, if you’ve been following along with my social media posts, you know that I’ve been working really hard at my fitness these days. Like super hard!
I now have almost double-digit indoor cycling classes under my belt as an instructor (number 10 is tonight!), I’ve been practicing HIIT classes with friends, and I even just got certified to teach APEX classes. Needless to say, with all of the sweating and excessive heat going on, your girl has had to focus on hydration.
On days where I teach indoor cycling and follow it up with a volleyball game (which happens way more often than you’d think), I really need to make sure I’m drinking enough water — especially when I play at the gym where the floor itself sweats. Seriously, it’s so gross and hot there, and the slippery floor can really mess you up!
Needless to say, I have water bottles in just about every place where I spend time on a given day. In my car, in my gym bag, at my desk, at home — everywhere! If I had big enough pockets, they’d probably be in there too!
This month, as a way to really focus on my hydration, and to cut out some drinks that I really don’t need every day, I’m going to be participating in the Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water’s Sparkling Detox Challenge! It’s a 5-day challenge where you try to drink only sparkling mineral water. That means no green tea lattes, no regular lattes, and no sodas or juice, or any other things you might drink! From August 27-31, you drink only the delicious and refreshing Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water. I’m super excited to try it out because I love a challenge, and I really need to detox from all of the caffeine I’ve been drinking lately. I’ve been going a little overboard if I’m being honest. Plus, since I’m basically doubling the number of workouts I’ve been doing each week, I really need to up my water intake. My usual amount ain’t gonna cut it!
So, this whole challenge has a special bonus: 200 participants will receive a free case of Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water! Just visit this site to enter to win, and make sure you enter the promo code ALEXIS18. Can you imagine: Winning a prize for doing something you should be doing every day (drinking water)? Totally a win-win situation. Plus, you can join the Facebook group for the challenge, and interact with others who are giving it a go!
If you want to pick up your own Gerolsteiner Sparkling Mineral Water to drink during the challenge, you can find out where they are sold near you.
Good luck everyone!
Have you ever cut out all drinks except for water? Do you think you could make it for five days straight? How do you make sure you’re drinking ample water?
