Alright, I decided I may benefit from a pre-workout and after doing some research online I stumbled across another blogger who has a TON of info about fitness supplements and scored Uniconutrition's Athena Intense as being they best they EVER rated. Well I was convinced, lol! I ordered the Strawberry Limeade flavor (drool).
It came FED EX within 2 days! (FOR FREE!) Couldn't wait to tear it open... As you can see from the picture on the left, the appearance of packaging gets an A. Unlike any other brand I have seen. However, once I broke the seal on the packaging the bottom sleeve (if that's what you call it) slips off pretty easy; which can make it tough to open and close.
I tried it before a workout. I put one scoop in a shaker with 12oz of cold water. Shook up well and I poured it into a glass to admire the color. Cannot say enough how pretty this is! First taste was nice, Good balance of strawberry and citrus. About half way through it though I was wishing I had put it on ice or could shake it some more.
As for the workout... I felt
I tried it a second time before running an 8K... That's right, I ran an 8K! Not only that, but I ran faster than I have before. Was it all thanks to this new little gem in my life? I certainly think so! I used it again at a 5K over the weekend and this is now my favorite workout buddy!
