I got to try wonderful tea products and apple cider vinegar from Swanson Health Products, thanks to Ben!

Swanson only uses 100% the finest, fresh-harvested organic green tea leaves and package them in natural, chemical-free, staple-free tea bags. With EGCG and other polyphenols, this certified organic tea makes an excellent addition to any healthy diet. My love for teas never seem to end and likely won’t end ever! I have a huge collection of teas and the ones from SwansonHealth are with my favorites :)

The Organic Apple Cider Vinegar with Mother s made from the juices of organically grown apples. This apple cider vinegar is raw, unfiltered and unpasturized just the way nature intended. I really love drinking apple cider vinegar with warm water in the morning. It really gets metabolism going and detoxes your body! I’ve been drinking like that for the past month and believe me, my skin is glowing! (I think this and Green Drinks are helping!)

These RAW goodness are LOVED by me. As many of you know, I am not a huge fan of sweets. However, Blackbird products blew me away.

Andrea sent me wonderful Raw Vegan truffles to try. Made of 100% raw cacao powder and nibs, they melted delightfully in my mouth. I ate half of a truffle and it was enough to curb my love for dark chocolate. The raw version uses coconut oil and there are two variety: Cacao Nibs or Pistachio Nuts.

I get so excited when it comes to trying NEW fitness equipments. Harbinger Fitness sent me wonderful products to try out.

This Training Ball helps you to increase balance and coordination in workouts. Enhances strength and endurance by helping you isolate specific muscle groups during training. Increases balance and coordination as you incorporate it into your stretching, aerobic, and resistance workouts. Has gripping ridges that provide excellent traction.

This Eco-Fit Training Mat is one of their new items. This Eco-friendly foam is not harmful to the environment or to you. It is 100% recyclable and biodegradable! The “Dual-Layer” foam construction increases cushioning without sacrificing traction. The innovative patterned top layer is non-slip to lessen the chance of injury and strains. The second layer has non-skid traction ridges to prevent slipping by gripping the floor. Both layers work in harmony to provide 3/8” of cushioning, making workouts more comfortable and safe. This Eco-foam is a closed cell foam that is 25% more lightweight than traditional foam mats, while providing the same level of cushioning as thicker mats. That makes it easier to carry and store without sacrificing performance. The Eco-foam is warm and comfortable to the touch and can be easily wiped down. Removable strap makes carrying and storing easy.
I love the comfort it provided for my back when I did abs and pilates. Although my apartment is carpeted, I can always use extra layer of cushioning for my bones. heehee :)

Wighted Fitness Balls are like dumbells. Designed to be easily grasped, used and appropriate for every level of athlete. An alternative to using metal free weights. Enhances strength and endurance by helping isolate specific muscle groups during training. Works effectively for hands, biceps, triceps, abdominals, lunges, leg curls and stretching. Made out of soft pliable PVC. Weighted with fine sand and air. High grade woven nylon strap with padded handle and Velcro™ closure for customized fit.
I used this for core workouts. For example, I rotated my waist from side to side with this Fitness Ball in my hands in a sitting position. I leaned back a little and made sure my core was engaged! It felt awesome.

HarbingerFitness was VERY KIND to send an awesome CORE training equipments including these three items to ONE lucky reader of AnAppleADay!
