REVIEW + GIVEAWAY! : Fitbook

 

Hello! Hello! Hello! Guess what I have for you! A review. I am so honored to have been given the chance to review Fitbook! And one of you lucky readers will be able to win one!

So before we start with the review, I wanted to share Fitbook's Fitlosophy! (I think thats a neat term btw...Fitlosophy...catchy huh?)

Anyways, here is what their mission is:

"The mission of fitlosophy is to inspire people to live a healthy, active lifestyle by motivating and supporting them with innovative products, to redefine how people integrate fitness into their lifestyle, and to change the shape of our world - literally.

the company's founder, Angela Manzanares, embraces the fit life and has a passion for positively influencing the lives of others. based out of orange county, California, fitlosophy is the company behind the fitbook™, a revolutionary line of fitness + nutrition journals that are redefining how people reach their fitness goals."

Now, if you are on the fitness journey like me, we know that the most important part of losing weight is TRACKING!!! When we see what we are eating and doing in the gym, it sure does put things into perspective for us. I don't know about you, but tracking contributed to my 115 pound weight loss.

Here is the sample they give you:

 

You get to record our measurements, your body fat, what you eat, how much you're eating, your gym progress, what you are doing in the gym, what your fitness goals are, and most importantly what you can fix ti improve your fitness and your health. 

This cute little journal did put things into perspective. Even though mine isnt as pretty, I understood it (So dont judge lol) But you get my drift!

Fitbook gives you a 12 week plan to help you stay on track and improve yourself! Again, I can't stress it enough how IMPORTANT it is to TRACK! You bite it, you write it!

REVIEW: Sporteer Velocity Series V1 Armband for iPhones and Smartphones

  Hello! So my mama bought me this armband at the L.A FitExpo because she knows I am BIG on arm bands while I workout. I am constantly at Ross or Marshall's looking for one I love. Never found one, just ones that make-do.    So because it was an Expo, my mom got it for $20 when it's originally $29.99.    So I want to give you some Background 411 on it, according to the website (HERE)    It features a zippered nylon pocket that fits all iPhone/iPod touch models (including the iPhone 5S/5C) and most smartphones   * with or without a thin or medium-sized protective case.    *Fits device with total dimensions of 130mm x 67mm x 14mm. Not compatible with large-screen smartphones such as Galaxy S3/S4 or htc One - coming soon!    *Interior moisture barrier keeps sweat out and your phone dry Elastic strap for gel pack or earphone cord management Integrated external pocket for a key, credit card, ID, and/or cash Locking zippers eliminate annoying rattling during your workout   * Reflective piping and strap tab for night safety Strap-Lok™ design prevents armband from falling off when adjusted during activity - no more holding your armband in place with your chin!       So I tried it out at the gym. I was a little confused about where my headphones go at first, most arm bands have holes and this armband doesn't. Which I can see the quality of it is amazing.    My headphones didn't budge and it stayed IN PLACE! That was huge for me! Most of my Armbands fall and because I have loose skin, the straps tend to pinch my loose skin, (Embarrassing huh?) This was PERFECT!    I wish my mom had gotten herself one, because it's just an amazing arm band.     You can check other armbands from Sporteer HERE    Happy Fitness!

Get Moving with LifeTrak Move C300

DISCLOSURE: I’ve received Move C300 activity tracker as a compensation for my time and efforts via Fitspiration For Moms Network. The thoughts, experiences, and opinions are entirely mine   

 

If you know me, you will know after losing 103 pounds, my passion for fitness was amped! I am constantly on the go whether it be at the gym, hiking, zumba, or taking a stroll in my neighborhood just to burn off calories! So when I was sent LifeTrak Move c300, I was more than happy...I was STOKED!

So before I get into the fun part of my review, let me give you the 411 on this little baby!

 The LifeTrak Move C300 keeps track of your All-Day Calorie Burn, All-Day Steps and Auto-Calibrated Distance. You can see your progress from the past 7 days with a 24-hour chart to see your progress. It also keeps track of your heart-rate because we all know while working out, heart rate is EVERYTHING! What is neat about this LifeTrak Move c300 is, it's blue tooth operated and can connect with your smart phone. The Android version hasn't come out yet, so you'll have to wait it out my droid users, but use IPhone users with IOS 6 or higher can automatically get it synced on to it's app for you to keep track with the app Argus.

How neat is that? So, wanna know what I think about this little gadget? I LOVE IT! At first I had a hard time syncing it to my iPhone, but luckily my not-so-tech self emailed the company and they had someone thoroughly help me! It's even easy for us who aren't tech savvy and customer service was super nice to me! I wore it all day and it calculated everything from my steps, heart rate and calories!

 

What was more important to me was the workout portion of it though, since I am always activity. So I wore it to Zumab for three weeks to review the "burn" zumba privides for me and how this heart rate monitor compares to others.

 

I found that the wristband needs to be a tad tight in order to get a good reading. If it is lose, you wont burn as many calories (according to the watch) However, it did the job and then some! There was no strap to wrap around my chest and really fit my every-day active life. They wristband also comes in different colors! 

This is a great monitor if you are in an occupation that requires you to put effort in it, for those of us on the go, and those who like me, like LESS when it comes to what you wear! It's easy to setup and easy to use! Those in the active community would appreciate the Blue-tooth capabilities too! It was neat to look at my phone and see my progress!

You can find LifeTrak Move 300 HERE 

They are $59.99 but worth EVERY penny. After all, your health is important and in order to get the best, you must pay a little more for the good stuff.
