My Favorite Fitness Brands!

Posted by Maria Kang on April 30, 2008

There are certain things you LOVE…and when you become more involved with your fitness journey, you start to LOOK FORWARD to certain things – you look forward to certain foods, certain outfits, even certain songs. WHY? Because they all motivate you to eat clean and work out hard.

Some of the things I look forward to are:

- Running in the morning (2-3 miles)

- Eating breakfast

- Working hard then realizing it’s time for my 2nd meal of protein shake and 100 calorie popcorn

- Nrgize smoothies after my workout

- Stretching after a long, kickboxing class

- Seeing the definition in my arms when I train

- Saying hello to the trainers and gym employees

- Feeling satisfied knowing I finished a really good day.

I wanted to share with all of you all the things I LOVE! And that includes all my favorite fitness brands!

Here are my favorite fitness tools:
- Nike (love their capri pants, their shoes, their hair ties and their hats)

- Cybex Arc Trainer: this is my favorite ‘precor-like’ machine to train cardio.

- Free Motion: I love anything that promotes functional fitness!

- Oxygen Magazine: their brand is unique as they always put out quality fitness models, great training articles and good reading information. They also give readers opportunity to engage and aspire to be a model one day.

- Billy Blanks: I LOVE Taebo.

- Zumba: if you are a gym and you are hosting a class, I will be THERE!

- Dasani Water: I LIKE the hardness of their water bottles!

- John Scott Nitro Supplements: I use their protein and fat burners religiously and I LOVE THEM!

- Adidas jackets and pants. I love their stripes! Especially if they are pink or yellow

- Bill Phillips books: Body for Life…awesome starter book! I loved their magazine when it was out!

Here are my favorite fitness foods:

- Low Carb Snickers bar: all time, top favorite. High in Fiber, protein, and not so much saturated fat or carbs.

- Max Muscle Chocolate Protein shakes

- 100 calorie bag ANYTHING. I love the portion control!

- Fat free, high fiber, natural, no salt popcorn

- Asian pears

- Nrgize Smoothies! Especially after a long, good workout!

- Jenni-O: Healthy lean turkey and great on the go meals! (I don’t know a lot about the way they process their meats though!)

- South Beach anything: I like their bars, I like their frozen meals…it is probably the most delicious thing to eat when you are really, really busy.

- Egg Whites and whole wheat English muffin with soy cheese for breakfast!

- Shrimp and Broccoli (I eat once a week!)
SO! What are your favorite fitness things? If you don’t have them..then create a list! Once you starting figuring out what you like about fitness, versus what you don’t like…you start getting more into the ‘healthy world’. You start using our language!

Did I miss anything??!

Love it!

Instead of taking a lot of pills to load up on antioxidants, I make the following tea blend every morning, put it in the fridge and drink through out the day. Basically it is Vitamin Water without all the sugar and artificial crap:

1 bag of green tea
1 bag of white tea
1 serving of korean ginseng tea
1 bag of Yerba Mate

I use Stevia to sweeten it. Great stuff

The most important supplement I recommend to others is Udo’s Choice Oil with DHA. It is a superior alternative to fish oil.

1 tablespoon for every 50 pounds is the way to go. Expect better skin, healthier joints, and more energy and mental well being within a month.

Live Life Aggressively!
