What are the latest and greatest health-related products? How can I spice up my ho-hum workout? Are the new nutritious food products and health-focused restaurants worth my money? If you're asking any of these questions you've found the right spot!Note: While I'm a journalist with a Bachelor's degree in kinesiology and am a Certified Health Education Specialist, I don't replace the guidance/counseling that comes from a good chat with your doctor or dietitian.

Healthful Bites
Today’s video is something quick, simple and new to Healthful Bites: an exercise product recommendation! Have you tried weighted gloves? They add wonderful intensity to kickboxing and help you achieve the perfect weight level during your strength workout. Here’s a link to the pair I have been enjoying since I received them as a Christmas gift.
In other news, we have a new giveaway to launch today—and it’s a great one! You see the shirt I’m wearing in the video? Well, one very similar, minus the logo, from ThrivNP can be yours. (FTC FYI: the giveaway shirt is donated by Thriv but this giveaway in no way affects my review of the product).
I already talked about my love for the shirt on the Dr. Fitness and the Fat Guy radio show, and now you can sweat in your own super-soft “flex-fiv” top! The five, by the way, explain the benefits of the cotton and bamboo fabric: comfortable, sun protective, wicking, breathable and anti-stink :)
Don’t worry, if you aren’t chosen, you can find your own Thriv wear at their Web site and at select Sports Authority stores. Additionally, you can sign up to be a part of the thriv1st group on the Thriv site to receive the company’s monthly newsletter. Fifty shirts are given away to subscribers each month!
To enter for one ThrivNP shirt of your own, you can:
- Leave a comment below explaining why one of the five benefits of the Thriv fabric explained above will be good for your workouts.
- Comment telling me your favorite workout equipment/tool (as described above).
- Follow me on Twitter and tweet this message: “Hey @karla522, I’d love to win a fabulous shirt from @thrivnp!”
One winner will be chosen next Tuesday, so be sure to enter by Midnight Central Time on Monday, April 26. Good luck!
