2. The LOOP! by Polar
This is the coolest gadget I think that I have ever owned. I have only had it a few days, and my son has already written Santa to add it to his list.
This is the activity tracker that makes you move! It is great. You don't have to hook it to your phone to find out your progress. It has a button on top that tells you everything you need to know. The really cool thing is that you can wear a Heart Rate strap and it will work as a Polar Heart Rate Monitor too. It's like having it all in one! It is a must have. Here's a video  to learn more.

3. Gorgo Magazine

4. Skora Running Shoes

I LOVE my Skora running shoes! They are the best way to run! I did a blog about them a couple of months ago. http://www.mindysfitnessjourney.com/2013/09/skora-running-review-and-giveaway.html They are amazing! "SKORA combines anatomical designs, premium materials, and a balanced approach to cushioning. This results in shoes that encourage a more natural and enjoyable run." They also have a great safety feature with the reflective technology. Check them out at skorarunning.com.

Core Power is awesome. I have been asked to be an ambassador and they are giving me a fun prize pack to give you in a giveaway.

The brand features simple ingredients and great taste, without a chalky texture. You can also check out the website for recipes!

Core Power is available nationally. They were recently named the "Official Protein Drink of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games!" That is a pretty amazing reason to give them a try!

10. Feel Fit Wear

This is the outfit I received. It's the cutest!!!!

There are many benefits on FeelFitWear fitness clothing, the soft feel, the fashion look and the versatility but there are some features that they like to put for a test on reviews.
   1. The Wash test - After I wore my outfit, it washed up great!  I didn't dry it because I do not dry my workout clothes. My outfit still looks as good as new.
2. The Dry Test - It dries pretty quickly which shows there is definitely moisture wicking material.
3. The Sweat test – There were some sweat marks due to the fact that I sweat like crazy, but I was amazed by how fast it disappeared.
