Whether you’re training for a marathon or extreme mountain biking, what’s the best way to keep your energy levels up?  Well, here are a few of my favorite…

Spark Caffeinated Drink Mix
Simply empty the packet into your bottled water, shake, and wa-la! You’ve got a drink with enough caffeine to keep you going strong and stay hydrated.  Since you lose so much water during strenuous activity, make sure you keep sipping for the duration of your workout.

Zantrex-3
An energy supplement such as Zantrex 3 can provide a quick boost if you are starting to slow down or drag – and even better, its in pill form so its small and all you need is water to wash it down.

PowerBars
Packed with vitamins, protein, and carbs, a PowerBar is just what you need if you’re working out or running for any length of time.  Plus, it comes in a variety of delicious flavors.

Jelly Belly Sports Beans
How can you go wrong with Jelly Bellys? You can’t…which is why I’m a fan of these sports beans, that are packed with carbs, vitamins, and electrolytes to keep you energized and hydrated during strenuous workouts.
