My Favorite Workout Tunes + Staying Hydrated with Crystal Light Drink Mixes #PlatinumPoints #CollectiveBias

I've been a fan of Crystal Light drink mixes for years! They contain no sugar, and they come in a wide variety of yummy fruit flavors. I've always got one or two of their convenient on-the-go powdered drink mix packets in my purse...and a bottle of the liquid drops at my desk. Both varieties are great for making flavorful low calorie drinks -- especially after a workout! I recently started back at the gym, so I understand the importance of staying hydrated during and after working out. Water is the best way to stay hydrated, but sometimes the taste of plain water gets a bit...boring. Enter Crystal Light! I simply add a few drops to a bottle of water, and I get all the benefits of water...along with a burst of yummy no-calorie flavor. 

Most of the time, I purchase my Crystal Light from the Drink Mixes aisle at the Walmart nearest my office. They offer a good selection of both liquid and powdered flavor packs, which I love to combine to create customized flavored waters! I especially love tropical flavors. My current post-workout favorite combines equal amounts of Tropical Coconut and Mango Passionfruit Crystal Light liquid in a 16-ounce bottle of water. It's sweetly tart, with a perfect coconut background flavor...and the vibrant orange color is gorgeous too!

All I need are some of my favorite tunes and a bottle of this Crystal Light-infused water -- and I'm ready to hit the treadmill! I love tunes that make me want to move and help the 30-45 minutes on the treadmill speed by. Some of my favorite current workout tunes include the following:

1. Love On Top: Beyonce
2. Dance Apocalyptic: Janelle Monae
3. Send Your Love: Sting
4. Get Lucky: Daft Punk feat. Pharrell Williams
5. Maps: Maroon 5
6. Time Bomb: Kylie Minogue
7. Love Never Felt So Good: Michael Jackson
8. Dead Man's Party: Oingo Boingo
9. Discotheque: U2
10. All That's Left: Miranda Lambert

At first glance, Miranda Lambert may not seem to fit in well with the rest of my workout playlist. All I know is that All That's Left is a cheeky, upbeat country swing tune that really gets this Texas gal moving on the treadmill! Crystal Light is sponsoring the Miranda Lambert Platinum tour, and they're also teaming up with Miranda to offer Platinum Points.
