Hyperwear Hyper Vest Pro Unisex 10lb Weight Vest
Hyperwear sent me this incredibly cool weight vest for review, and I'm very happy to say that it has performed beyond my expectations. First, a confession--to do weighted bodyweight exercises like pull ups I've either hung a kettlebell off of one foot, or two light light ones (one on each foot), OR as when training for the Iron Maiden Challenge (which WILL be attempted … [Read more...] about Hyperwear Hyper Vest Pro Unisex 10lb Weight Vest

Endangered Species Chocolate – Organic Health Dark Chocolate with Goji Berries, Pecans and Maca
Not only does it have an adorable looking spider monkey on the wrapper, 10% of the profits of the sale of these chocolate bars go to help endangered species. So there are many reasons to feel good about indulging in this bar. Or rather, HALF of this bar at a time... RIGHT????? Superfood content helps to take the antioxident power of the 70% cacao ethically traded … [Read more...] about Endangered Species Chocolate – Organic Health Dark Chocolate with Goji Berries, Pecans and Maca

Product Review: Triton Nutrition Vital Vegan Protein – Vanilla
As many of you know, I'm more of a food person than a supplements person. However, the convenience of making the occasional shake as a snack or quick breakfast cannot be denied. Of course, what the shake is made from is of the utmost importance. Recently in San Diego, I met one of the heads of the new company, Triton Nutrition, he was attending (and excelling greatly at) … [Read more...] about Product Review: Triton Nutrition Vital Vegan Protein – Vanilla
Epic Turkey Almond Cranberry Bar
After having seen friends online talk about these bars, when I saw a couple of them at Whole Foods I just HAD to try them. More reviews coming as I eat them, but I am very happy to report this first bar, the Turkey Almond Cranberry bar from Epic was delicious! Gluten free, milk free, and soy free, its kind of like a softer, very easy to eat jerky. The meat is ground and … [Read more...] about Epic Turkey Almond Cranberry Bar
Epic Grass Fed Beef Habanero Cherry Bar
It's a wonderful thing to find a protein snack that isn't somehow chocolate covered or some freaky sweet flavor... Really pleased with the bars I've found from Epic, and the fact that this is made from actual factual grass fed beef. And while it made me a little thirsty (a little bit salty), I really enjoyed the complex flavor - smokey, tangy (from the cherries which are NOT … [Read more...] about Epic Grass Fed Beef Habanero Cherry Bar
Under Armour’s Armour39 Performance Heart Rate Monitor
The following post is sponsored by FitFluential LLC on behalf of Under Armour. Must confess, before using Under Armour's Armour39 I have had a somewhat negative attitude towards the usefulness/relevancy of heart rate monitors in my own training. Part of this was due to past experience with bulky plastic HRM straps collecting sweat across my ribs and only providing very … [Read more...] about Under Armour’s Armour39 Performance Heart Rate Monitor
NewTree Pink Peppercorn Sexy 73 Percent Cocoa Belgian Chocolate Bar
Don't think for a second when you open this chocolate bar that you're in for an ordinary experience. I opened the wrapper and was greeted with a VERY unfamilar smell... I smelled... PEPPER before I smelled dark chocolate. It was even ever so slightly off putting. It gave me pause... yes me - your intrepid food explorer! But I tasted it and WOW! This is a super unique and … [Read more...] about NewTree Pink Peppercorn Sexy 73 Percent Cocoa Belgian Chocolate Bar
