Hi everyone! This will be another post by Nicky, Mommy Review Time's youngest daughter, as this was a product that is definitely up my alley! That being said, I can't believe we're already in March! It seems like just yesterday it was New Year's Day and everyone was setting their New Year's Resolutions. How are your New Year's Resolutions going?
I know a lot of people like to set fitness goals as their New Year's Goals, and I'm not sure if my mom has ever mentioned it here on the blog, but I'm a personal trainer at my local gym. I love all things fitness and would say I'm pretty experienced in the fitness industry. Although I do spend a lot of time at the gym, I absolutely love working out at home and working out with my family in the comfort of our own home. Last May I took my first Spin class at my local gym and I absolutely loved it. The only bad thing was that classes were only offered in the early morning or late afternoon while I was still in class. I haven't been to a spin class since last year, but I would constantly wish I could ride again. We recently received the MobiFitness Turbo Exercise bike and I have been having a blast riding it at home.

I'm guilty of not stretching or cooling down after I go to the gym. With my muscles being so tight both before and after a gym session, a massage is truly all I need, but I don't have the time or money to be getting full body massages as often as I'd like to. To get similar levels of muscle relief, a massage gun that I can carry on the go to the gym with me is all I need. I recently got the Mebak 3 Massage Gun and have been using it to relieve all my discomfort.
Ringing in the new year, I'm sure a lot of you have set New Year's Resolutions. For many of you, that may include going to the gym more frequently. For the past two years, I've had a lot more time to focus on my fitness goals now that I've been working from home. I try to work out daily, but I have to admit, just like any other person I sometimes lack the motivation every once in a while. Which is totally okay! Since I just started to get back into working out more regularly, my muscles do end up being tight after my workout sessions. Whenever I do leg workouts, my hamstrings and quads end up being very tight. To get relief I use foam rollers. I've found that foam rollers help loosen the muscles, leaving your muscles feeling much better after spending a moment to roll your muscles. If you’ve never used a foam roller you’re definitely missing out. There are many benefits from using a foam roller.
These benefits include the following:

I don't think I've ever mentioned it here on the blog, but I work part time at a gym, so I do spend a significant time there between doing actual work and working out. With school, work, and working out, I definitely do rely on caffeine to give me that extra boost throughout the day. I've tried a fair share of energy drinks, as my boyfriend would consider himself an energy drink expert, as he has tried pretty much every brand on the market and I used to take sips from his drinks to see which I liked the best. Red Bull, Monster, Bang, Reign, Alani Nu, I've tried them all and I wouldn't really go out of my way to grab any of those because I didn't fall in love with any of the drinks. I began to think that all energy drinks tasted the same, but that was until I tried CELSIUS. Also today is National Energy Drink Day, so I figured there was no better time to talk about my newest energy drink obsession.
Now that my family and I have slowly been transitioning to a vegan diet, it's become more clear to us how many vegan options there are and how easy they are to find!
Something we've noticed is that there are many cereals that are almost vegan, but still include a few animal-derived micro ingredients. I always do a quick google search before making a purchase. Something along the lines of "Is ______ vegan," and with the amazing power of the internet, the answer is in my hands within seconds. One of the brands that offer many 100% vegan cereal options is Kashi. Kashi recently released their new Super Loops cereal created by kids, for kids (or honestly, even adults). |
