I was recently approached to test and review Rocktape, a kinesiology tape that can be used for both recovery and performance. While I haven’t had many issues in muscle pains from my weightlifting, I recently started to get shin splints when I run, so this opportunity could not have come at a more perfect time!

A while back, I had an opportunity to do a review on behalf of Vitacost for a few different products.

I have never been one of those people that needs to have a sugary beverage to get through my day. I drink my coffee black, my tea unsweetened, and my beverage of choice is usually water (okay, when it’s not wine.. lol). When I started working out more, I read up on staying hydrated and […]

This week marks my second week attempting to balance training for a 10k with my strenuous lifting regimen, but so far, I’m chugging along with only minor difficulties.
