September’s Barbella Box was curated by Christmas Abbott, a CrossFit competitor, Olympic Weightlifter, fitness advisor and you get the idea. This box was given the nickname, Christmas in September and it was a bit on the heavy side. I was curious to find out what was in it given the heft it packed!
They are an army green color and have Rebel down the sides. I was ecstatic to get knee sleeves because they have been on my “to purchase” list for sometime. My knees have been bothering me a lot lately after workouts, especially if there’s a bunch of squats or lunges. I had hopes that sleeves would help with that. I’m not a spring chicken with young 20-something knees. This sister needs some support.
These sleeves are awesome. My knees feel so so good when I wear them and they are definitely a benefit. After using them for workouts my knees are not as sore or achey. My squats also feel much more solid when I’m wearing the sleeves. I will be sticking with knee sleeves for a while!
The Badass Body Diet Book
This is written by Christmas Abbott outlining her Badass Body Diet. I haven’t looked through the book yet as I’m only slightly interested. I’m constantly trying to read as much info as I can about nutrition while weightlifting but at the same time, I don’t want to get sucked into some sort of diet mentality. I will read the book at some point though and will let you know thoughts once I finish. (Can be found via Christmas’s Website)
Be Unstoppable Coffee Mug
If I’m feeling particularly feisty in the morning, this is now the coffee mug I reach for. It’s on the smaller side but I do like it. It’s a mug so there isn’t a whole lot to say about it. If I had to pick something, I would say that the mug doesn’t really need Christmas’s signature. The saying is good and should be the highlight. (Can be found via Christmas’s Website)
I have not had this. I am not a huge fan of health drinks so I tend to pass those along to Scott.
Plus some coupons and discount codes.
Summary:
I loved this box just for the kneed sleeves. The mug and book are OK and I’m sure there are lots of subscribers who really enjoy them. For me though, this box is all about the sleeves because they are awesome and such a steal!
If you weight lift or do CrossFit, give Barbella Box a try!
