I’m a huge fan of the Turbo Shaker since 2007 when my friend at a local vitamin shop gave me a couple to try out and needless to say the turbo shaker is vital. About a month ago I sadly lost my last two due to my friends and family members taking them for there personal use so it was imperative to order a couple more from the turbo shaker website. What’s cool about turbo shaker is the new sublime series of shakers which have a screw top and open/close spout with the same durability/ruggedness as the original TS. The Sublime series makes it a little easier for me especially when I’m on the road sipping on my preworkout cocktail of BCAA’s and Creatine before the gym. I will not use any other shakers on the Market they don’t cut it.

We believe in the Turbo Shaker, and are quite proud of its fin technology, however, it’s always nice to hear what other’s have to say about our shaker bottle.

Derek Howes, an NCAA accredited personal trainer, and publisher of the blog site  I Was Lazy, recently reviewed the Turbo Shaker. He tested it by making pancake mix, mixed drinks and protein shakes, and found that its design worked extremely well at blending all of the ingredients.

We love hearing how the Turbo Shaker is being used to simplify your mixing needs. Let us know how you’re using your Turbo Shaker.

Building the relationship with fitness and health has become a national movement directed towards our youth. The President’s Council on Physical Fitness recommends 30 minutes of physical activity each day.

In its effort to encourage an active and healthy youth, and reverse the trend of childhood obesity, the NFL promotes their NFL Play 60 campaign. They encourage kids to stay active for 60 minutes a day.

The First Lady, Michelle Obama, recently lead a group of children in one minute of jumping jacks. This was an attempt to set a Guinness World Record. More than 20,000 people around the world would need to do jumping jacks for one minute in order to set the record.

Physical activity is an important element in our daily lives, right? We feel better after we exercise and know the valuable role it plays on our health. The cardiovascular benefits have been well documented.

A recent study reported on in Science Daily, concluded that higher levels of physical exercise have a long-term beneficial impact on low ocular perfusion pressure (OPP), an important risk factor for glaucoma. Exercise is good for our eyes!

The study, published in the journal “Investigative Opthalmology & Visual Science,” examined 5,650 men and women aged 48 to 90 who live in the UK. Over the period of 2006 to 2010, participants were assessed for combined physical activity at work and leisure using a detailed self-administered health and lifestyle questionnaire.

“It appears that OPP is largely determined by cardiovascular fitness,” said author Paul J. Foster, MD PhD, FRCS(Ed), of the University College London Institute of Ophthalmology. “We cannot comment on the cause, but there is certainly an association between a sedentary lifestyle and factors which increase glaucoma risk.”

No matter what your age, young or old, the benefits of daily exercise are phenomenal.

Are you new to the whole protein powder supplement routine? If so, you’re most likely struggling with mixing protein powders. You’ve tried mixing in a cup with a spoon? How’d that turn out? Clumpy? Yes, we know from experience.

Protein Powders

First of all, congratulation. Protein powders are ideal for post-workout recovery. Experts agree that protein is essential for muscle recovery and growth. Protein is one of the body’s main building blocks for muscle, bone, skin and other tissues. And protein shakes are an easy way to get the protein your body needs.

“A study of 130 U.S. Marines looked at intense exercisers who supplemented their diet with 10 g of protein, 8 g of carbohydrates, and 3 g of fat. They had fewer infections, less heat exhaustion, and less muscle soreness.” Source, WebMD

Mixing Protein Powders

Is there a secret to mixing the powder with the liquid? And, how do I make it taste good?

The Turbo Shaker is perfect for mixing protein powders. In fact, it’s fin design allows you to mix the powder with the liquid thoroughly and evenly. Leaving you with a clump-free drink.

Simply,

• measure the powder into your Turbo Shaker
• add the liquid

You can also store your protein drink in the Turbo Shaker. The shaker bottle is BPA-Free, PVC Free and Phthalate Free. So, you can prepare a drink ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator.

Protein Powder Recipes

As for tasting good, feel free to experiment with add-ins. We like adding cinnamon to our vanilla flavored shake. But there are many great recipes. Some prefer using pineapple juice, while others prefer adding fruit.

Let us know how your protein supplement routine is progressing. Give the Turbo Shaker a try, and share your favorite recipes with us.

We hear from many fitness enthusiasts excited to share their experience with the Turbo Shaker bottle.

Angie Christine, of TuffPhit.com, recently posted a great review of the Turbo Shaker. She was introduced to the Turbo Shaker blender while attending the Arnold Expo in March. In addition to its use as a protein powder mixer, she personally saw the benefit of using the Turbo Shaker to make scrambled eggs. As she puts it, “simply crack your eggs and shake.”

Angie shares her personal story about weight gain, a battle against breast cancer, and her commitment to staying healthy and fit on her blog. She is truly an inspiration and a shining example of the benefits of a positive attitude.

We thank Angie for sharing her successes with the Turbo Shaker and enjoy following her fitness journey through her Tuff Phit blog.

Becoming lost in conversations about the vernal equinox, equilibrating day and night throughout the world, and the earth’s axis and increasing tilt, I decided I will simply tell them spring is a transition period that occurs toward the end of March when we go from being bundled up all winter long to getting ready to head outside and enjoy as many activities as the mind can imagine! Spring is not only a change in season, but a change in attitude!

People go from training in the gym or their garage, doing ab crunches on the couch while watching TV, Pilates on the bedroom floor, or family Wii night in the basement and begin riding bikes, walking in the development, canoeing, kayaking, mountain biking, hiking, playing sports…you name it…the transition is amazing and the TURBO SHAKER is an essential accessory for this on-the-go lifestyle! Whether making scrambled eggs after a quick morning run and trying to gobble down some food before work, or making a protein smoothie after ducking out for a lunch time work out, or simply relaxing with an adult beverage at the end of the day…the TURBO SHAKER should be a part of your every day living!

Australian made, BPA-Free and able to hold up to 25oz of liquid, the TURBO SHAKER is the perfect spring companion! Another benefit, is with its space age polymer coating, clean up is a snap! You can simply rinse out your TURBO SHAKER or throw it in the dishwasher and you are ready to head out the door and during the hectic spring time season, speed is essential!

I have listed some of the uses for the TURBO SHAKER during this Spring season, but many customers have told me of other uses that I had never thought of, so I would be interested to find out what unique uses you may have discovered for the TURBO SHAKER! Hopefully we will hear from you, but until then enjoy this Spring season, hope for some warmer weather and get outside and do something!
