IM AZ: Kicking it into gear with Advocare

I've been trying several Advocare products over the last few months to see if they can help me achieve the fitness levels I will need in order to complete IM AZ later this year. So it's been a lot of experimentation. I'm pleased to say that I believe some of the products have made a difference and some, not so much. But there are more to try.

Arginine Extreme is probably my favorite product so far. I take it 15-30 mins before a strenuous workout and it allows me to push through barriers which would have stopped me a few months ago.

Spark, their most popular product, helps me wake up in the morning and get in the right mind set. It's more of a mental booster than an actual performance booster. I read a masters thesis on the ergogenic effects of Spark (their were none) so that makes sense. But I still think it helps me to face those early morning run/bike/swims better.

I'll figure out how to add this countdown clock to my blog...tomorrow.
