Workout I Did: Quad WOD + Push-Up Plank Fun — and a Giveaway!
This is a sponsored post brought to you by Propel. For our sponsored post policy, click here.
You know, I love my early morning workouts. But I love them even more in the summer. Because, duh, light, but also because it’s so, so, so much cooler at 5:30 a.m. than it is at 5:30 p.m. And believe me, with a workout like this, you want it to be cooler. I did this one at The Fit Pit (of course — that Sheryl comes up with the best workouts!), and it resulted in plenty of booty soreness the next day. Plus, you know how I feel about that second plank/push-up combo! Oh, and for the record, I used 15-pound dumbbells and did 300 meters on the rower … looks like I need to keep practicing that push-up/plank!
Workout I Did: Quad WOD + Mini Push-Up Plank Challenge
Feel free to save and share me!
WOD 1: Quad Wod
Do four rounds of the following for time:
- Weighted split squat x 5R/5L
- Weighted (same weight) plyo squat jump x 10
- Weighted walking lunge x 10 (singles)

WOD 2: Mini Push-Up Plank Challenge
Plank for 3 minutes, with a push-up every 10 seconds. For each time you break — you do 100 meters on the rower.

Right?!), we’re giving away* a Propel prize pack to one lucky reader! With lots of Propel products, a towel and a water bottle, all you have to do is submit a comment below (U.S. only, please!) with deets on how you stay hydrated.

I make sure to always have water with me, and I love to mix some Eboost into it!
I have an aluminum water bottle at my desk, and another one in my gym bag. I have a couple of infusion bottles so I can have cucumber, watermelon, or lemon-infused water.
Drink water before, during and after a workout!! Eat watermelon for snacks and don’t over do myself!
I always keep my portable water bottle in my handbag.
I ALWAYS have water with me, as I’m perpetually thirsty. I have really bad allergies so I take Claritin every day and have for about 20 years. It works, but it also makes me parched! Add to that the regular workouts, etc…I go through a few Nalgene bottles of water every day plus what I drink at the gym. I am never without my water bottle!
I always keep my reusable water bottle with me! Thanks for the giveaway!
I have 32 oz water bottle with a built in filter, so I’m always able to have clean water wherever I am! 🙂
Always carry a cup with a lid & straw. I prefer my water really cold, so this way, I can add ice as needed.
I always carry a water bottle and eat a lot of hydrating fruits and veggies, especially in hot weather. I love Propel, thanks for the giveaway!
A clear water bottle at my desk so I can see how much I’ve had to drink each day. I make myself refill it twice a day.
Keeping water with you is the most important things where you go for gym or just for a normal walk water is must,if u wish can add some energy drink of some energy powder with water this will give you some more power.
When working 12 hour shifts in the ER, it can get hectic very quickly. I take constant breaks to hydrate myself with water or green tea and also take a deep breath to prevent myself from getting overwhelmed. I look forward to my breathers so much that I can’t help but stay hydrated!
We splurged and pay for a water cooler in our home. I was surprised by how much more water we drink now that it’s so convenient!
I drink lots of water and always keep ice near me. I like the drink packets in my water.
I don’t drink enough water! When I remember I haven’t had anything to drink in a while, I’ll guzzle!
I have a water bottle on my desk at work, carry one to every exercise session, and have a ‘glass of the day’ at home for drinking with my dinner and up until bed. We also eat a lot of juicy fruits while they are in season!
I make sure to fill my 24 oz. Tervis cup with water 3-4 times a day…with plain cold water or Propel. I feel so much better now that I’m drinking more water and less sweet tea/soda!
To keep myself hydrated all I drink is water. When I don’t keep myself hydrated I immediately feel the effects and I know my body and mind crave hydration. When I travel it’s harder to keep myself hydrated its then when I’m more likely to indulge in products like Propel.
I bring 2 water bottles to work ands stock one in the fridge. I’m not accustomed to city water, so I adapt by bringing my own!
Since it’s been a few weeks but don’t yet see the winner posted, I could still use some awesome Propel products in this drought we are having. I take the little water bottles out of my running belt and carry them in my purse and even in my pocket so I have water at all times. In this brutal summer heat you always have to be prepared!
And our lucky winner is Madonna with comment #14! Emailing you now to get your address — thanks to all who entered. Yay for staying hydrated! 🙂

I always start my day with a cup of hot green tea and then I drink water throughout the day. My new goal has been to try to drink a gallon a day. Im getting better at it and I can definitely tell the difference!
