Vita Smarta Water Runnin’ Tingz

I was invited to this Vitamin Water and Smart Water workout challenge thinking I’d get to watch a brief exercise demo and be rewarded in Vitamin Water swag.  But oh no, I had to work for my swag.  Work it GOOD.  The team at Track Fitness, a boutique health club in Forest Hill, lead us through a gruelling hour long set of intervals using a combination of treadmills and those girly light weights that are more suitable for playing fetch with your dog.  I’m all for exercise but it’s been a while since I’ve done anything in the aerobics department.

The stunt was part of a campaign for Vitamin Water 10, their new low calorie drink that has, as the name would suggest, just 10 calories.  I’m not a huge fan of the subtly flavoured, subtly supplemented vitamin “punch”. In fact, I’m much more likely to reach for a Gatorade G2 since the electrolytes have more redeeming qualities, but i do like that they are using stevia as a sweetener rather than aspartame or something artificial.
