ADVOCARE

So I decided to become a distributor of Advocare products. I am traditionally not an advocate of supplements and things of that nature but I believe in these products and would take them myself. In fact, I do take them. None of their products are banned by the NCAA or any other professional sport organization. The board at Advocare has over 200 years of experience in the sports and nutrition field and among them are Kinesiology and Nutrition professors, researchers, professional strength coaches, etc.

My website is www.advocare.com/09102610 if you would like to check it out

I also have a blog that I am doing with my roommate and a personal training client that describes the day-to-day experiences of going through the "24 Day Challenge." Right now we're on the cleanse phase ;-)

Quote of the day

“A bad habit never disappears miraculously; it’s an undo-it-yourself project.” -Abigail Van Buren

How true is this.....especially when it comes to health and fitness. Un-doing bad habits takes time, patience and will power. You have to do things that may be inconvenient, put you of your comfort zone and sometimes makes you feel uncomfortable. Being healthy, exercising, and eating right are definitely projects worth investing in....

My Review of GoFit Foam Roll - 18"

Originally submitted at REI

Designed specifically for core muscle workouts, the GoFit Foam Roll can also be used for self massage, balance training and physical therapy.


awesome product

By petmc3 from Austin, TX on 10/3/2009

 

5out of 5

Pros: Good Results

Best Uses: Focused Muscle Groups

Describe Yourself: Health professional, Gym Rat

You must buy this product if you are active at all. My knee hurt for about 2 years and kept me from running. I found out with the foam roller that my vastis medialis was extremely tight and pulling on the tendons in my knee. I foam roll my legs before every run and NO MORE KNEE PAIN!

It also feels great on my back and I recommend to all of my clients
