Colon Cleanse Detox Plus

I was shipped Colon Cleanse Detox Plus from HealthyNow. It’s an all natural, extra strength formula.  The directions are very simple with taking the 2 capsules in morning and before bed, both on empty stomach with 8oz. of water.  While using the cleanse it is important to drink a lot of water during the day. It is recommended while taking the capsules to eat more raw foods, reduce the amount of dairy and red meats, take digestive enzymes along with meals, and keep physically active. Some users might experience light cramping, and if so, you may reduce amount of capsules you take, back to one. Consult your doctor before taking Colon Cleanse Detox Plus if you suffer from IBS or are pregnant or nursing. It's suggested for maximum results to temporarily increase your fiber intake. Do not take more than four capsules in one day and use for 10 days only. 

While taking the capsules for the past two weeks I am feeling not as bloated during the afternoons. I would recommend they Colon Cleanse Detox Plus for anyone wanting to become more regular. 

Relaj Shape Water Bottle

The Relaj Shape 

 (the LeakLock prevents unwanted spills)

 

                                                                                                              (bottom removes for cleaning)

 (fully disassembles for cleaning) 

I have been using the Relaj Shape water bottle for about  a month now and am super impressed with it's comfort and features.  First of all its ergonomic shape fits in my hand as well as my bike bottle cage, riding in my Orange Mud Hydra Quiver and even fits nicely in my cars cup holder. Its textured outer feel can still be wet, due to condensation, yet won't easily slip out of your hand.  What many bottles miss is a valve that stops them from leaking if accidentally tipped. With the Relaj there is a LeakLock Valve that prevents this from happening.  Another aspect in which a lot of bottles miss is the ability to be fully disassembled for cleaning.  The Relaj fully disassembles for cleaning to get all those hard to reach areas where germs can hide. Both the top and bottom can be screwed off and the tapered flexible spout can be removed. The bottle and pieces can be placed on either the top or bottom rack of the dishwasher to be cleaned, or can simply be washed by hand. The bottle is BPA Free. (BPA is a chemical used in the production of plastics and epoxy resins) 

The bottle was designed to use by tipping the bottle up to drink from, instead of the cyclists head, therefore keeping your eyes on where you are going. The squeezable bottle allows for a lot of fluid to be consumed within a short period of time. 

The Relaj holds 23 ounces of fluid. 

There is an optional re freezable stick that can be screwed into the bottom base, but the Relaj bottles I use do not have these. 

The bottle is very sleek and very function-able for all cyclists and those who enjoy the outdoors.

Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA’s)

I have tried using Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAA’s) , which are building blocks of protein helping support muscle growth, similar to protein powders.  They are in veggie capsules and contain nothing else. They don't have any other ingredients such as magnesium stearate, silicon dioxide, microcrystalline dellulose, gelatin, sucralose or titanium dioxide in them. NONE of those ingredients in this product.

Xtreme Bright LED Camping Lantern

I have recently been using the Xtreme Bright’s LED camping lantern as I get outside my car and prep my mountain bike before heading out on the trail.  The small lantern, about the size of a soup can only weighs 6 ounces and is run by 3AA batteries. The handles on the top are very convenient and could be used to hang in a tree or attach a rope or clip to to suspend it. The light simply turns on my pulling the top of the lantern up, exposing the LED.  If you wanted to dim the light you could just not extend the lamp out all the way. I can foresee this lamp making its way into our backpacks to go hiking or camping.  The lamp is available in three colors red, black and gold.

King Athletic Speed Cable

The King Athletic Speed Cable is a great jump rope to use, its really a vinyl coated cable. The light hallow handles are design very nicely and are very sleek.  The rope comes in a 10 foot length and adjustment screws are on either end, which allow you to cut the rope/cable to fit the user appropriately. The cable does not get tangled and can be folded very easily. 

I guessing there are a lot of people that might read this that haven't picked up a jump rope since maybe elementary school. Jumping rope is a great activity to add to your workout and raise your heart rate during training. Increase your cardio and tone your calves,thighs, upper back and shoulders at the same time and using the rope will help improve balance, coordination and timing. 

There are a few techniques in which to jumping while using the King Athletic Speed Cable.

two feet together (basic jump)

high-knees in place

heel to toe

alternate feet

double hop  

criss-cross

double under (the rope moves under the jumper twice during one jump)
