ShakeSphere Spherical Shaker Bottle Review

When you are doing a workout you need to keep yourself hydrated, and sometimes you may want a protein shake afterwards, or even a snack of some sort, perhaps you just want to keep your iPod or iPhone from getting wet? Well if any of this or all of this is appealing to you then checkout the ShakeSphere Spherical Shaker Bottle!

I guess the main thing I need to really emphasis is that the ShakeSphere Spherical Shaker Bottle is designed to not waste that expensive protein powder you add to your shaker, you know the stuff that gets stuck in all the edges and groves of a normal ordinary shaker bottle. Well the ShakeSphere Spherical Shaker Bottle is no ordinary shaker bottle since it has no edges or groves for anything to get stuck in, so no more wasted powders and a lot easier cleanup at the end of the day.

Some other cool features about the ShakeSphere Spherical Shaker Bottle is that it sports a 700ml beverage area which is actually kind of deceiving since it looks smaller than that. The ShakeSphere Spherical Shaker Bottle also has an area to store your pills and your powders. You can even use these additional compartment for all kinds of things...

Here are a few examples:

I guess at the end of the day, someone had to make a better shaker bottle! And that's exactly what ShakeSphere did, so chuck your old archaic shakers in the trash (Sorry Recycling bin) and get yourself some ShakeSphere Spherical Shaker Bottles, perhaps one for each day of the week in a different color :)

theFitExpo Anaheim with Jeff Rizzo from RizKnows

During my trip to Anaheim California where I visited theFitExpo, I also got the opportunity to spend much of the day with Jeff Rizzo from RizKnows. What a super guy, I can honestly say he is one of the best YouTube personalities out there and has a really great YouTube channel with tons of Fitness gear related information, some great workouts and even some fitness tips and hacks. Jeff is a no BS kind of guy, if he likes something he will tell you and if does not like something, well he's still going to tell you ;)

In this preview video for theFitExpo in Anaheim, Jeff and I go over some of the top products that stood out to us during the fitness show. For me it was the ProYo high Protein Ice Cream Frozen Yogurt and the 2UNDR men's underwear with built in Joey Pouch! For Jeff, some of his top picks where the RiseBar protein bars, the Pumped Up Protein Pancakes and the Reverie modular mattress system.

Of course I will be making a full show video of theFitExpo shortly...

theFitExpo Anaheim Relaxation Day VLog - GetFitOver40

Tomorrow is the first day of theFitExpo in Anaheim and we (Myself and friend Shigeru) showed up a bit early mainly because of flights and accommodation, I also wanted to be somewhat rested before walking around all day at theFitExpo show.

So what does one do in Anaheim with a day to kill? Well all kinds of stuff, first off we did a workout in the hotel, they have a functional trainer and I managed to get a pretty good upper body workout in. After that it was time fo ran early lunch so we headed to the McCromick & Schmick's Grille which is just down the street from where we are staying. I had a burger wrapped in lettuce with fries and a beer :) Yummy!

Now that the sun was out form behind the clouds we sauntered down to the pool for a few hours of relaxation and tanning, and of course some beverages to keep us hydrated... After lying around it was time for some more exercise so we put on our walking shoes and made the trip to Downtown Disney where we did some shopping and then ended up at the Rainforest Cafe for a seafood dinner which we again walked off getting back home to our hotel. According to my Garmin VivoActive I walked around 11 miles today with approximately 24,000 steps. Will be interesting to see how many steps we do tomorrow at theFitExpo show?

GetFitOver40.com Logoed Items Have Arrived

I placed an order with my own CafePress Online Logoed Items Store so I could personally checkout the quality of the products with my GetFitOver40 Logo on them.

I have to say I am really happy, the prints look really good and the quality of the clothing and other merchandise is excellent. I did have a small problem with the logo on my zipper hoodie, my logo was not centered very well so some of it seemed to disappear into my armpit making the logo a bit hard to see while warn. I contacted CafePress support and they replied quickly giving me the option of either refunding my purchase price for the item or sending me out a new corrected hoodie.

No pressure to buy of course, you now just have the option of getting your very own GetFitOver40.com Branded Merchandise and let people know that us over forty folks still know how to keep it tight!

Men's Physique Awards Show - 2015 Victoria Cup - GetFitOver40

Everything has been leading up to this event, the 2015 Victoria Cup. So many workouts, so many sets, so many reps and so much counting of calories! All to get in the best shape of my life and compete in a fitness contest with other athletes, not only my own age but also much younger.

You may ask yourself why am I doing all of this, what is the payoff? Not so much for any monetary rewards but for the reward of knowing that I stuck to my goals, even when there where temptations all around me - to take that break from a workout or have a drink with some friends, or eat that forbidden food. All for the right to say I did everything I could to be the best version of myself for presentation on that stage no matter what the end results may be.

OK, now that we got all those deep intellectual thoughts out of the way, how did I do? I got first place in Men's Physique Masters, first place in Men's Physique Open Tall and I also snagged the PharmaFreak "Ripped Freak" award for being the most shredded in the show. All in all a really great event and no regrets on my end.
