\"september<\/a><\/p>\n

September’s Barbella Box<\/a> was curated by Christmas Abbott<\/a>, a CrossFit competitor, Olympic Weightlifter, fitness advisor and you get the idea. \u00a0This 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!<\/p>\n

Exosleeve Knee Sleeves\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

They are an army green color and have Rebel down the sides. \u00a0I was ecstatic to get knee sleeves because they have been on my “to purchase” list for sometime. \u00a0My knees have been bothering me a lot lately after workouts, especially if there’s a bunch\u00a0of squats or lunges. \u00a0I had hopes that sleeves would help with that. I’m not a spring chicken with young 20-something knees. \u00a0This sister needs some support.<\/p>\n

These sleeves are awesome. \u00a0My knees feel so so good when I wear them and they are definitely a benefit.\u00a0After using them for workouts my knees are not as sore or achey. \u00a0My squats also feel much\u00a0more solid when I’m wearing the sleeves. \u00a0I will be sticking with knee sleeves for a while!<\/p>\n

The Badass Body Diet Book<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is written by Christmas Abbott outlining her Badass Body Diet. \u00a0I haven’t looked through the book yet as I’m only slightly interested. \u00a0I’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. \u00a0I will read the book at some point though and will let you know thoughts once I finish.

Be Unstoppable Coffee Mug<\/strong><\/p>\n

If I’m feeling particularly feisty in the morning, this is now the coffee mug I reach for. \u00a0It’s on the smaller side but I do like it. \u00a0It’s a mug so there isn’t a whole lot to say about it. \u00a0If I had to pick something,\u00a0I would say that the mug doesn’t really need Christmas’s signature. \u00a0The saying is good and should be the highlight. (Can be found via Christmas’s Website)<\/p>\n

LifeAid FitAid Drink<\/a><\/p>\n

I have not had this. \u00a0I am not a huge fan of health drinks so I tend to pass those along to Scott.<\/p>\n

Plus some coupons and discount codes.<\/p>\n

Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n

I loved this box just for the kneed sleeves. \u00a0The mug and book are OK and I’m sure there are lots of subscribers who really enjoy them. \u00a0For me though, this box is all about the sleeves because they are awesome and such a steal!<\/p>\n
