Today Is The Day We Stop Making Excuses

This is a great new campaign started by Blue Cross Blue Shield of Minnesota, in which they want people to tell themselves "Today is the day we stop making excuses!"

In the commercial they portray the fat and obese doing "lazy" things such as sleeping on the couch and taking the elevator, while they are singing about how they will start exercising and taking the stairs TOMORROW. How many times have we heard that excuse from people in our own lives, and even from ourselves?

When I first saw the commercial I thought, "Wow, this is awesome! I love that they are portraying fat people the way they really are!"

I'm a little surprised this commercial hasn't become a target of pro-fat organizations such as NAAFA. (I'm totally against the organization by the way. Even though the United States seems to be headed this way, being fat should not be accepted as normal and healthy because it is not!)

Perhaps there has not been much attention for the commercial because it is only shown locally here in Minnesota. I hope the commercial goes nationwide so that it inspires people to stop making excuses and make a change!

And if not that, hopefully it gets some attention and companies start making more commercials like this where they are not afraid to be politically incorrect and call out the fat and obese.

So help spread the word on this great commercial by sharing it on your facebooks, twitter, forums, and blogs.

MAN Sports Body Octane Game Day review

I recently got the chance to try some samples of another preworkout, MAN Sports Body Octane Game Day. Here are my overall impressions of this new preworkout product.


Taste

I have to admit that I wasn't expecting much  for this preworkout product. I hadn't heard anything about how it tasted and my recent experience with preworkouts left a bad taste in my mouth :P


I was actually shocked when I took my first sip and found it was actually delicious! It tasted like a mix of lemonade and mountain dew with very little aftertaste.

I would have to say it tasted better than Lit-Up and on par with the taste of Jack3d.

Energy
I didn't get a boost or feel any extra energy on this. I actually felt tired while driving to the gym. It had already been about 45 minutes since I drank the preworkout so it should have kicked in by then, but I didn't feel anything :(
I did have good energy once I started my workout but I think this was just me being able to get myself up for the workout :)

Sample packet of MAN Body Octane Game Day...I love getting samples! :)

Strength

Strength was still good during my workout and I was able to increase the weight in my lifts but I don't believe it was attributed to the preworkout. I think I was able to increase weights because I was coming off two consecutive rest days.

Endurance

Endurance was also good during this workout but I didn't feel any different than normal and I definitely didn't feel the awesome endurance I experienced with White Flood.

Pump

Pumps felt great during this workout but once again, it wasn't any different than what I normally feel and didn't feel anything "extra".

Overall

My overall impression of MAN Sports Body Octane Game Day is that it tastes really great but didn't provide me with anything during my workout. I wish it did provide something as I really did enjoy the taste of it but unfortunately, I would have to say the product did not "work" for me.


Perhaps I would get a better effect if I had taken two servings instead of one? Has anyone else had experience with this preworkout product?
