We decided to ask our fellow Bulugans how they discovered all the products they found in their Bulu Box. The Bulugan to give us some insight on our July box was Online Fitness Coach and Fitness Personality Allen Elliott
Monday: When getting ready for fitness competitions, I like to start my mornings with Fasted Cardio. To ensure I wasn’t a zombie on the treadmill I took a tablet of Vivarin, a caffeine alertness aid to help get my mind & body moving all in one direction. I noticed with Vivarin that there was no crash, which typically happens when caffeine is added to drinks that are loaded with sugar. I didn’t want to overdo my caffeine intake, so I refrained from using both Vivarin and caffeine based pre-workouts. My workouts did not suffer and I found no difficulty falling asleep at night. I give Vivarin a Four (4)!
Tuesday: Living in the fitness community, I believe digestive health is of the utmost importance. Staying in line with the Mantra, “You Are What You Eat,” it could also be stated, “Your Nutrition is only as good as What Your Body is Able to Digest.” Already being an avid user of probiotic supplements, I was happy to learn that the Erba Vita Acid dietary supplement would help to support a healthy pH of the stomach. I give Erba Vita Acid a Five (5) for ensuring optimum digestive health.
Wednesday This truly is a Ripped Cream! A protein coffee creamer, packing a whopping five grams of protein as well as a hefty serving of Vitamin D3. While I wouldn’t consider myself a coffee lover, I do confess to being a chocoholic. I decided to take an unorthodox approach to using Ripped Cream by combining it with my Double-Rich Chocolate Protein shake. The taste was the most amazing fusion of coffee and chocolate one could enjoy after a grueling workout. I believe that Ripped Cream would taste great if added to a cup of coffee or pack an extra punch to anyone’s protein shake. Ripped Cream shreds the fat and achieves a Five (5) for Lean Gains!
Thursday: In addition to Flexing our muscles when hitting the stage, we are also showing off our “pearly-whites” as we smile for the camera. A dazzling physique is important, but so is a dazzling smile. I found Zellies Xylitol Gum & Mints to be a safe product for those looking to help freshen their breath naturally. While I prefer Zellies gum to their mints, I did note that the spearmint flavor was tasty, yet the flavor did not last very long, I give Zellies Gum and Mints a Three (3).
Friday: The PowerBar Performance Energy Blends were my “Go-To” product when it came to leg day. Sometimes eating prior to a workout simply isn’t enough. I found the energy blends tasty; simple to carry and store in my gym bag and easy to eat when I needed that extra boost towards the end of my workouts. I give PowerBar Performance Energy Blends a Five (5) as an excellent fuel for optimum performance.
Saturday and Sunday: While the weekdays are commonly referred to as “The Daily Grind” we look forward to our weekends for rest and relaxation. “The Daily Burn” online workout program offers a variety of routines to suit your needs. Whether you choose to do the “Recover” workout for stretching and mobility or push the pace with the Inferno’s intense “AMRAP” (as many reps as possible) style of training, you can rest assured that the “The Daily Burn” will be achieved by people of all fitness types and backgrounds. This program is great for both home use and while traveling as you can access the workouts virtually from PC, iPad, XBox, etc. I give the “The Daily Burn” Online Workout plan a Four (4).
