My Review:
Back in May 2016, I participated in a Parent/Coach All Star Cheerleading team. While performing on the competition floor, I rolled my ankle and tweeked my knee. I went several months with little pain, until I slipped in the mud and rolled my ankle again, which then tweeked my knee. Now, I do have flexable ankles, so nothing happened there, but my knee was killing me. I finally went to the doctors office and had X-rays done. Yep, I threw out my knee to the outside of my leg. My doctor said that I needed to use a patella strap to help my knee get back into place, along with at home PT. I also coach competitive cheerleading and tumbling. I am constantly up and down on my knees. This knee strap came at the perfect time! I'm so excited to stay that it has really helped with keep my knee stable. I also love that I can wear it to work and all day long. It doesn't prevent me from coaching or running. I'm also a runner! Sometimes I'll wear the strap to bed and don't have any problems. I've been very happy with this strap and recommend it to other runners, coaches, or anyone with knee problems. I forgot to mention that the strap is adjustable, so it can fit anyone!

Want to be the best Athlete? Professional athletes require focus, strength and endurance. To perform your best, you need fuel that provides your body with protein and glucose. ENERGYbits® have both. At 64% protein, they have the highest concentration of protein in the world (3 x steak). This immediately converts to glucose since the protein is already in amino acids and the B Vitamins turn the glucose to energy. The Omega 3 in ENERGYbits® also improves focus and the high concentrations of nitric oxide and iron prevent fatigue - nitric oxide opens up blood vessels, and iron carries oxygen to the brain and muscles. Remarkably, ENERGYbits® have just ONE ingredient - 100% spirulina algae which not only contains protein and 40 vitamins/minerals, but also antioxidants and electrolytes that speed recovery. That’s why spirulina has been a favorite of athletes for decades. ENERGYbits® contain NO sugar, chemicals, caffeine or gluten, making them the healthiest way to be your best for every game and every season.

Extra Info for You! You'll Love this Info!




My thoughts: I'm a fan of Energybits! I love them! I know that EnergyBits mainly focuses on Runners, which I am. However, I want to chat about EnergyBits and Cheerleading! Yes, cheerleading. I have been coaching cheerleading for a little over 20 years. I started as a junior coach when I was 14 years old for Pop Warner. I cheered rec cheerleading, middle and high school cheerleading, as well as Universal Cheerleading Association Staff (teaching at summer camps). I've been in the competitive cheerleading world since 2004. I'm credentialed for Level 1-4 All Star Cheerleading through the USASF. I also judge cheerleading competitions for Epic Brands. So there you have it, just a little bit about me and cheerleading. 

Now onward to my review!

 Partner Stunting with Cheer Coach at Eastern Tumble and Cheer


Competitive Cheerleading is some serious hard work! If you've never been to a practice, you should! These kids work just as hard as any football player! These kids practice 6 hours a week learning and perfecting a 2:30 routine, which includes stunts, tumbling, jumps, and dance. These routines are fast paced and intense!

Tumbling in our routine!

My daughter is a serious tumbler and the constant workout with all aspects of cheerleading are intense! I give EnergyBits to my 16 year old daughter to use to help keep that energy up and to help her keep going. It can get exhausting! Since she has started taking 5 Energybit before practice, she has been feeling great and energized! On Wednesday evening, after our practice is over, we stay for an extra hour or two so that she can work with the East Carolina University Cheerleaders and learn how to partner stunt. We have to prepare for college and college cheerleading! On Sundays, we come in an hour before our 3 hour practice and she has private lessons to work on advancing her tumbling skills. Talk about needing that extra energy!

Lets not forget to add that she also competes in the individual category at competitions, as well as competes on a team! So we also add in an additional practice for that! Who needs stamina? That girl does and she gets it from Energybits!

Another aspect that I love about Energybits is that they help you focus! You need to be focused on what you are doing. Stunting can be dangerous, thus why we practice and train our athletes. Not only stunts, but tumbling as well. You don't want to fly threw the air and then eat mat or run into someone else! Not fun!

There are so many benefits to taking Algae! You won't believe what it will do for you as well! It's amazing!
