Effects Of Energy Drinks and Sports Drinks in School – A Guest Post By Greg Hayes

October 21, 2010

[I wanted to find a picture of a sports drink without turning this post into an ad for a specific brand. I think this picture does a good job of that. ]
I found out about Greg Hayes and his fitness blog called the “Live Fit Blog” a couple of years ago when he commented on one of the first articles I ever wrote as a blogger.
Greg is a father himself, so he unsurprisingly spends a lot of time commenting on articles that have to do with schools and children/adolescents. I thought having him write something about the effects of energy drinks and the debate about sports drinks in schools would be a nice addition to Passionate Fitness. Enjoy!

First, I want to say thank you for convincing me to do Tabata! I was struggling to lose weight and Finally I found something that helped! I really appreciate your coaching! - Craig T.

Ever since I was convinced to do Tabata I have seen huge results, I lost 6 pounds and gained energy in the first 3 weeks. I have been working out for 3 months before I decided to do Tabata and I struggled to lose weight. At first I thought "How am I losing weight by bringing my heart rate up then cooling down then bringing it up again?" I don’t know how it works but it does! Thank you!! - Theresa F.

The first day of Tabata, I wondered WHAT AM I DOING - I AM 56 !! Five weeks later I knew that it was what I needed. I learned that I could push myself well beyond my comfort zone and feel good later. I have a marked improvement in physical as well as emotional endurance. - Lyn C.

When I was first told about Tabata I was very excited from the word go, however that excitement stemmed from the fact that I had no clue what it meant. I missed the first week of class b/c I was traveling for work so when I came in during the 2nd week I had some making it up to do. It was hard at first b/c my body wasn't used to working out at such a fast pace, but once I got into a rhythm I started to feel very good. These classes are no joke. If you stick with it you will leave there feeling stronger, healthier and overall better about yourself and what you've accomplished. I would recommend these classes to anyone. Darrin is a great trainer and he'll keep you going with his energy. - Jami L.
