Work It Out Wednesday

Tweet

Hill Repeats/Run:
It didn't happen. I had an unsuccessful 5k run yesterday because I'm still having ankle pain from Sunday's race, nothing serious but I'm afraid... The fear of injury is very real for me right now, I have too many half marathons this year to take time off due to an injury. So for now it's best to err on the side of caution. So if I'm feeling good I'll attempt a run tomorrow and postpone my 9 hill repeats till next week! 

Training Session:
This was great as usual, I always feel pretty awesome after. My arms are going to be sore since we mainly focused on shoulders, arms, and some abs to avoid causing any further problems for my ankle. Unfortunately though I've gotten a lot out of the gym I'm currently at and my trainer, I have to look for something else, mainly because I want something where there's an option of child-minding. Then I can work out during the day and save my evenings for time with the family or a run. I would also be less dependent on the hubby being home from work! I'm thinking about trying Cross-Fit... thoughts?

Bulu Box Product Review & Giveaway

Tweet

So the blog got a makeover! I hope you love it, because I sure do :)

To celebrate I have another product review and giveaway to share!

Bulu Box is a monthly subscription program that provides vitamin, supplement, and weight loss products. 

Bulu Box did offer me the opportunity to become a brand ambassador but I respectfully declined their invitation, it is important to me to retain the integrity of my blog and that all my product reviews are based solely on my own experience and that there is no bias over the review. So here's what I got:

1. Dream Water: "Has natural ingredients that can improve sleep quality if consumed 20-40 minutes before bed." I LOVE this, I always have trouble getting to sleep, anything that could improve that is a bonus for me.

2. QSpeed CoQ10 100mg: "Delicious, natural orange flavored, sugar free, fast melt tablet formulated with CoQ10." I haven't tried this one but I look forward to doing it before my next long run!

3. Prolab Quick Fire (Pre workout amplifier): "Each dose fuels your body with a surge of nitric-oxide-induced blood flow, supplying nutrients to fuel muscle contractions and promote vascularity."

4. Redd Remedies atEASE PM: "Anxiety and nervous tension are some main causes of restlessness, atEase has a blend of natural ingredients that help you relax naturally..." 

5. AeroShot Energy: "...an air-based shot of energy delivering a unique powdered blend of B vitamins plus 100mg of caffeine that starts working right away..." Love energy shots before a run!

6. iTrain Download | Workout $50 gift card: "Jam-pack your MP3 player with workouts from the premier source for downloadable fitness programs featuring the best music and top celebrity trainer voice-overs." Can't wait to use this one, and $50 is a lot!

They have different lengths of subscriptions but they all basically amount to $10/month unless you sign up for 12 months and then you save $10. They also have a reward points program. At this time they only ship to the US (but you can still enter the giveaway if you're from Canada). 

All in all it seems like a great service if you're looking to try different supplements. They even included a little fitness booklet with some different exercises.

I had a great experience with their customer service and box arrived in no time at all!

-Please note that Bulu Box sent me only the product and is not paying me for this review, it is solely based on my own experience with the product-
