*Powerdot is the world’s smartest muscle recovery and performance tool. It uses different electrical Hertz ranges to activate specific muscle fibers, forcing them to contract. Why do you need to increase the number of muscle fibers that contract? Simply put, so you can jump higher, lift more, run longer and recover faster. And Powerdot helps you do just that. It’s a personal E-Stim device that connects to a mobile app via Bluetooth so you can take it with you anywhere. Powerdot’s E-Stim benefits can also help prevent injury by activating muscles before you workout, train, or compete. Powerdot also reduces soreness, knots, strains, and pulls from workouts or stresses brought on by everyday life. I recently got my own Powerdot device and although I’ve only had a chance to use it a couple of times, I already love it! In fact, I used it earlier today after my chest workout at the gym and felt great about half hour after using its muscle recovery mode. I can’t wait to see how much this adds to my post-workout recovery times and decreases my soreness, especially on leg days! Yup Powerdot is awesome and I’m pumped to have my own at-home unit!

*Crickstart makes organic snacks with cricket powder and plant-based ingredients. This cricket powder is made from organically farmed, free-range crickets! There other ingredients include foods like seed butters, hemp, chocolate, and dates that are all organic too. The bars are delicious, better than so many other protein/meal replacement bars I’ve had and have absolutely none of that chalky taste you usually get in those bars. I actually really love these things. And yes, I know what you’re thinking… “Justin, seriously, crickets dude? What’s the deal with that?” And trust me, I thought the same thing at first, but once I tried my first bar I was absolutely amazed at how good these things really were and after that it became completely normal for me to put down a few of these bars throughout the day (and some of their delicious cricket-packed crackers for that matter too). Crickstart’s bars have a very balanced macronutrient profile so they make a good pre- or post-workout snack, or even just a snack at the office or on the go. I was blown away by the nutrition facts panel on these products; you can check them out for yourself on the Crickstart.com website. What’s great about crickets is that they’re high in protein (twice as much as beef or chicken), with all 9 essential amino acids (necessary for muscle growth and repair among other things) and in vitamin B12 and iron – so they provide all the nutrition you get from meat, without many of their downsides. For the same amount of protein compared to beef, crickets require 12x less feed, 2,000x less water, thousands of times less land, and they emit 100x less greenhouse gases. There are over 40 crickets in every Crickstart bar and over 100 in every cracker bag, and trust me when I tell you this: They taste delicious! Visit Crickstart.com right now to get your own Crickstart bars and snacks and use the coupon code “Elite” at checkout to get 20% off your purchase. Again that’s Crickstart.com and the coupon code is “Elite” for 20% off.

RXBARs are great for a number of occasions like breakfast on the go, snacks at the office, plane or train rides, bike rides or hiking, pre/post workout snacks, and more. RXBARs come in 14 delicious flavors too like Mango Pineapple, Chocolate Hazelnut, Peanut Butter & Berries, Chocolate Sea Salt, Coconut Chocolate, Mixed Berry, Blueberry, Maple Sea Salt, Apple Cinnamon, Mint Chocolate, Chocolate Chip, Peanut Butter, Peanut Butter Chocolate and Coffee Chocolate – & seasonal flavors too!  I’ve tried just about all of their flavors at this point and quite honestly they’re ALL delicious.

*What would it look like if we all… listened more? Listening to audiobooks inspires us, motivates us, even brings us closer. And there’s no better place to listen, than Audible. Audible has the largest selection of audiobooks on the planet, including life-changers like The Power of Now, one of the most powerful self-help books I’ve ever come across. This book literally changed my life, and it was so much easier to absorb it via audio, as opposed to trying to read all of its brilliant concepts word for word. Because even though I LOVE reading, and still do, I’m quite honestly not that fast and can’t absorb as much as I can via audiobooks. And that’s why I love Audible! They’ve got all the best books and stories you could want and make it easy to digest scores of complex topics and ideas that would take exponentially longer if I actually had to read them. Also, Audible members now get more than ever before: each month they get 3 titles of their choice; 1 audiobook, 2 Audible Originals, and fitness programs that they can’t get anywhere else. There’s never been a better time to experience Audible. Try it free for 30 days by visiting audible.com/elite or by texting ‘ELITE’ to 500500. That’s (spell this out) audible.com/elite or by texting (spell this out too) “Elite” to 500500.

*Crickstart makes organic snacks with cricket powder and plant-based ingredients. This cricket powder is made from organically farmed, free-range crickets! There other ingredients include foods like seed butters, hemp, chocolate, and dates that are all organic too. The bars are delicious, better than so many other protein/meal replacement bars I’ve had and have absolutely none of that chalky taste you usually get in those bars. I actually really love these things. And yes, I know what you’re thinking… “Justin, seriously, crickets dude? What’s the deal with that?” And trust me, I thought the same thing at first, but once I tried my first bar I was absolutely amazed at how good these things really were and after that it became completely normal for me to put down a few of these bars throughout the day (and some of their delicious cricket-packed crackers for that matter too). Crickstart’s bars have a very balanced macronutrient profile so they make a good pre- or post-workout snack, or even just a snack at the office or on the go. I was blown away by the nutrition facts panel on these products; you can check them out for yourself on the Crickstart.com website. What’s great about crickets is that they’re high in protein (twice as much as beef or chicken), with all 9 essential amino acids (necessary for muscle growth and repair among other things) and in vitamin B12 and iron - so they provide all the nutrition you get from meat, without many of their downsides. For the same amount of protein compared to beef, crickets require 12x less feed, 2,000x less water, thousands of times less land, and they emit 100x less greenhouse gases. There are over 40 crickets in every Crickstart bar and over 100 in every cracker bag, and trust me when I tell you this: They taste delicious! Visit Crickstart.com right now to get your own Crickstart bars and snacks and use the coupon code “Elite” at checkout to get 20% off your purchase. Again that’s Crickstart.com and the coupon code is “Elite” for 20% off.
