After a 2 o’clock wake up call on Friday morning, we made our way from Manhattan Beach, California to Vegas for Mr. Olympia! The Olympia is the ultimate expo for fitness enthusiasts, athetes and health related companies.  We met with some amazing people and athletes! Here are some pictures from the event…

The Olympia Weekend Expo was held for the 5^th straight year at the Las Vegas Convention Center.   We were able to meet some amazing companies…  here were some of our favorite fitness products from the weekend!

Muscle Milk had their hottest flavors out for tasting… our favorite? Their new ‘Sour Apple WHEY ISOLATE!’

Muscle Milk’s Whey Isolate is a high quality, highly digestible protein naturally rich in essential amino acids– great for our post workout drinks .  It has 25 grams of clean whey protein in each serving… and ZERO grams of fat, sugar, lactose, or gluten…

It was a ‘Must Have’ in our grab bags!  Thank you Muscle Milk!

Another favorite product of ours was ‘Egg Whites International’. This product is truly amazing!

We tell you all the time in our nutrition blogs … the most complete protein is found in egg whites.. which means it has all the amino acids present.

Muscle Milk gave Egg Whites International whey protein powder to add to the egg whites… vanilla and chocolate!  Whey protein is a great post workout protein, because it is easily absorbed by muscle tissue that needs repair.

We still make our protein pancake every morning with 1/4 cup egg whites international, 1 scoop vanilla whey muscle milk protein powder, a dash of cinnamon and tons of blueberries!

Here are some fun facts on Egg Whites International…

- All Natural
- 100% Bio-Available
- Pure Amino Acids
- 26g of Protein per Cup
- Fat Free
- Cholesterol Free
- Pasteurized
- 100% Safe
- Salmonella Tested
- USDA Inspected
- No Preservatives
- Kosher Approved

We also loved these delicious snack bars… they were at the booth where a few of our girlfriends were working… ‘Oh Yeah!’

Karena loved the caramel and chocolate…

and Katrina loved the almond brownie.

We don’t know how Lori Harder, Janelle Nicolo, or Brooke Griffin didn’t eat the whole plate of goodies!

Karena and I workout a lot… and we need items in our gym bags to keep us fresh!   We discovered ‘Athletic Body Care’.

They have a great line of products for girls like us!  Our favorite?  The post workout recovery salts.. for the bath.

The ‘Therapeutic Muscle Soak’ is a blend of therapeutic grade salts, minerals, essential oils, and electrolytes specifically designed for an active lifestyle.

The salts are enriched with health-inducing amino acids, active vitamins, minerals and electrolytes– magnesium, calcium, sodium and potassium.

If you workout hard or you have tried the ‘Tone It Up Plyometric Workout’… your legs may cramp up after.  A perfect way to end your day would be to soak in the bathtub with the ’ TMS salt blend’!

Last, but not least… Tone It Up loves cookies!  Katrina even has a kitten named cookie monster…  we are huge fans of Chef J’s Tri-O-Plex Protein cookies.

They are low in fat and sugar, and they are a great balance of protein and carbs… they hit the  spot!

Katrina’s favorite… the Chocolate Chip Cookies

Karena’s favorite… the White Chocolate Chip Macadamia Cookies

With only 5 grams of fat, 11 grams of protein and sugar… it is the perfect healthy treat!

Thank you everyone for meeting with Tone It Up!

We look forward to seeing you all in Vegas again at Fitness America November 20th!
