Lights On, Lights Off: DynaMAXX Review

We all want to have better focus, sleep better and work out better in the gym. Clearly, all three of those things rock. And while normally we don’t review this kind of stuff—too much supplement stuff beyond the basics makes us a bit wary—we got this really convincing email from a reader saying that we [...]

Why ‘Fine’ Isn’t Good Enough for Me (and Why Working Out Rocks!)

Love Yo’Self Week may be over, but we couldn’t resist sharing this post from our new writer Karen Romeo on how she stays motivated year after year to work out. Talk about loving yourself! I’ve been working out for more years now than I like to admit—before the invention of the internet, when cell phones [...]

Yoga Faceoff! Canyon Ranch Yoga for Strength & Energy vs. Element Yoga for Energy & Relaxation

Part of my commitment to making more time for cross training this year is my intention to do more yoga. A lot more. I’ve noticed that quite a few yoga DVDs aim to be a two-fer, providing workouts based on helping you to gain energy as well as to relax and destress. I’ve had a [...]

Thank You, Acid Reflux Group!

Thank you, thank you, thank you to all those who were kind enough to share your experiences and suggestions with me regarding the acid reflux post from November.

Book Review Time: All-Day Energy

As a young’un, I remember reading somewhere that there are no coincidences. Everything’s put in our life for a reason. I’m not here to preach some philosophical, mind-bending thought, but I personally believe it to be true. It’s so odd, but I swear, recently, all I could talk about was energy this and energy that. I [...]

Review: Getting Boosted with EBOOST

You know how it’s the season for sniffles and sneezes? Well, it’s also the season for running yourself ragged—shopping here, going to parties there and probably missing a few zzzs and trips to the gym. So when EBOOST, an all-natural vitamin-infused drink that purports to provide a good-for-you energy boost, asked if we wanted to try [...]

Shaklee Review: Energy Chews and Performance Drink Mix (Plus Giveaway!)

A few months ago, one of my buds started the cutest blog. Called Raising Daisies, Alli features recipes, her motherhood adventures and all kinds of cute photos of her pets. In addition to being a mom and doing the blog, said friend recently fell in love with Shaklee products—so much so that she became a [...]

A New Bite-sized Way to Eat Your Energy (With Giveaway!)

Ever get sick of gnawing on protein bars as a snack? Yeah, us, too. Sometimes you just need to mix things up, especially when you’re on the go. So when we first were offered the opportunity to try SmartyBars—a snack that actually isn’t a bar at all—our interest was piqued and we, well, bit at [...]

Eating for Energy: What to Nosh On to Feel Your Best

Who wouldn’t want a little more pep in her step or energy in her day? Not me! Part of the reason why we at FBG love working out is because it gives back as much energy as you put in. But working out is just part of the equation. Eating for energy (and for your [...]
