Blogging is tough in that you really do need to hustle in order to make ends meet. But it also comes with many perks - one of which is trying out new products before they hit the market.

It seemed pretty cool so I put it to the test and created a quick burpee party video. Not as terrible as the push up parties, which I think we can all agree are the #worstpartiesever, but the burpee party will get your heart rate up and work the entire body.

In bumping up my workouts for the past three months, I've become quite familiar with the importance of muscle prep and muscle recovery. I was actually just reading that rolling out is a fantastic way to help the body recovery faster. Months ago, the RAD Block and Komega recovery essential oil showed up at the office and I've been using them ever since and love them for post workout body care. In today's post I wanted to share how I use them.
