Mobility and Movement Cert Review

Howdy,

This past weekend I attending the Mobility and Movement Cert in Austin and loved it. It was a one day event and packed with lots of useful information. We will kick off this week with more streching to help reach our full potential with our movements and have a refresher course with the basic movements. Kelly from San Francisco Crossfit taught the Cert and was able to make it easy to follow and entertaining as well. So get ready.... This week should be interesting.

Advocare Herbal Cleanse Review Day 1

Howdy,

For some time now I have wanted to try Advocare's Herbal Cleanse to see how much of an effect it would have on my performance and workouts. Well that day has come. The whole packet consists of a Fiber mix, herbal cleanse, and prebiotic replenishing pills to get you back on track after 7 days. Well after the first day it is a OK, the fiber mix is actually really tasty and has a consitency of what is left after you finish a bowl of frosted mini wheats, but with an orange flavor. The herbal cleanse is three pills that are easy to swallow and you take them at night. Since this is the beginning there is not too much to gab about, but will keep it coming throughout the week. The goal of this is to maximize the amount of absorption with SPARK! and catalyst. Well will see how this plays out. Until then.
