EFX Performance Technology


***Guest Review by Tea Time:

It's been awhile since I've done a review of a product but I got something new recently that Nobel4lit thought would be interesting if I reviewed on her site...so here goes.

I was walking around the OC Marathon expo recently with Nobel4lit and a couple of other people and came upon this booth that sold these bracelets and neckbands with an embedded technology that helped with balance, flexibility and strength. The sales staff performed a balance test on me and Nobel4lit with and without the bracelet and we were more balanced when we were wearing one. I am still not sure how it works or if the test was legit since it was performed by the sales person who was looking to sell this product to me. You can read all about this technology at their site: http://www.efxusa.com/technology.htm

So I did end up buying one of these. Not sure why, maybe just curious. I've been wearing it pretty religiously for about a little over a week now and the one thing I have noticed is that my lower back is alot less sore. Actually, it feels pretty normal which I haven't felt in a long while. I've been having some lower back discomfort for about 1.5 years now and have been going to the chiropactor every month to get adjustments but wearing this bracelet has somehow alleviated alot of pain from that area. Again, I don't really know how this product works but it does. I am going to continue to wear it to see what else it can do. I will update at a later time if anything new develops. Overall, I am glad I purchased this product because despite it's voodoo magic technology, it actually did something for me.

    Huh. Is this similar to the thing that Kara Goucher wears around her neck?

    Hmmmm... I'm a big time unbalanced klutz, so I'm all for more balance!

    No, I think Kara Goucher wore a Phiten 30X Titanium Necklace which promotes muscle relaxation.

Sharkies Prize Pack (giveaway)

It's giveaway time! On a long run recently, I took a couple packs of Sharkies Organic Sports Chews  with me to keep me going on a hot day.  I got through those 15 miles  eating these, versus normal gels.  I've been opting to eat chews over gels in my running nowadays because I just find them more palatable and easier on my stomach for some reason.  Plus, they do pack a few more calories, which is a good thing in this case. I normally associate cute little chews with candy, but these actually contain natural electrolytes.  Plus, they were light to carry and very tasty, too!  Each pack is about 140 calories.  The only downside I found to the sport chews is that they stuck to my teeth a tiny bit more than my normal choices, and the packaging gave me a fight at times.  This could easily be solved by conslidating them into a baggie pre-run, or eating them BEFORE running would be much easier than during. Want to win the prize pack below?  It comes with these Sport Chews, a neat

Rebecca Michaels Performance Clothing (Giveaway)

UPDATE: 6/21/12 -- This giveaway is closed, and the winner is #43, Jacqueline!!  I will contact you, but if you miss it, please e-mail me! ------ I'd like to credit in advance "The Ukrainian" who helped me stage some photos for this post. =) Perhaps because I don't dress well when working out, I was offered the opportunity to try some fun pieces from the Rebecca Michaels summer collection. Since I complained about my issues with headbands staying on my head, I also got to try their Violet Love headbands.  "The Ukrainian" didn't hesitate in throwing one on, and I think he said he looks like Rambo in it. Anyway, I'll start with my experience with the headbands .  They are very soft and actually look SUPER cute on!  They also cover a large portion of the top of your head, so those little fly-aways don't come drooping down.  Or is that just me?  My hair is normally cut in layers, so I do experience this quite a bit.
