Two weeks ago, Fit Celeb attended the Fitness & Health Blogger’s Conference in Denver, Colorado.  The conference was held at the University of Colorado medical school campus, which was a beautiful campus.

My first day there, I helped hand out samples of Shamrock Farm’s Rockin’ Refuel, as one of their Team Bloggers.  Rockin’ Refuel is the real protein beverage designed to help you get the optimal nutrition for your workout. No matter what type of athlete you are, there’s a Rockin’ Refuel that’s right for you.

Here are the three different types (my favorite is the Muscle Recovery because it tastes SO much like old fashioned chocolate milk – yum!):

Protein to Refuel Muscles After Intense Training

• 20G of High Quality Protein
• Great tasting, 100% Real Milk
• 2:1 Carb to Protein ratio for optimal muscle recovery
• Healthy and natural way to REFUEL muscles
• 11 oz, shelf stable – lactose free. AND available for purchase online.
• Flavors – Chocolate, Strawberry, Vanilla
• No refrigeration required.

Protein to Refuel Muscles After Exercise

• 17G of High Quality Protein
• Great Tasting 100% Real Milk
• 50% LESS sugar and 20% LESS calories than Rockin’ Refuel Intense Recovery
• 2:1 Carb to Protein ratio for optimal muscle recovery
• Healthy and natural way to REFUEL muscles
• Muscle Recovery – Chocolate

 Natural Protein, Low Carbs to Build Muscles

• 30G of High Quality Protein
• 8G of Net Crabs
• 190 Calories
• Made with Real Milk (11 oz., Shelf-Stable is Lactose Free)
• Shelf-stable available in 4 packs online at GNC.com or Select GNC locations.

While at the conference I also sampled some healthy goodies from these health/wellness companies/brands:

• Goodness Knows - snack bars
• Attune Foods
• The Cherry Marketing Institute
• Chipotle Mexican Grill
• Adora Calcium - a delicious way to get your calcium!
• Love Grown Foods
• SmartFood Selects (which has a resealable bag!) – their Garlic Tomato Basil Hummus Popped Chips are to DIE for!
• Wellsphere
• DailyFeats
• Vichy -Destock StomachFirming and Refining Treatment – my tummy feels tighter!

At the conference some of the sessions I attended were really informative on health like:

• Importance of an Evidence-Based Approach to Health & Wellness with Dr. James O. Hill
• Current Evidence on Achieving and Maintaining Physical Fitness with Dr. Iñigo San Millán
• Using The Internet To Grow Your Fitness Business with Adam Bordes and Ted Vickey
• Current Evidence on Weight Loss and Weight Management with Dr. Holly Wyatt

There were also four Cohort Breakout Sessions (each attendee is assigned to one cohort and will rotate through the four topics)

• Cooking Demo in the on-site healthy cooking demo kitchen.
• 
• Fitness Center Lab visit where professional athletes are tested to achieve athletic performance enhancement.
• 
• Consumer Research Grocery Store and Metabolic Kitchen where theories of everyday healthy lifestyles are tested
• 
• Communication via the Internet Discussion: Discuss how best to communicate health and fitness information via the internet.

Besides sessions about blogging, and health and wellness, there were workout sessions each day (sometimes twice a day).  Although I would have liked to take the earlier workout sessions like 7am, I just couldn’t get up! hehe.  So I stuck to the evening workouts like Tabata with Adam Osborn and Zumba with Christine Reisinger.

Each night ended with a beautiful and delicious healthy meal on the roof top.

During the conference weekend, FHBC12 was #2 trending on twitter.  If you want to see what the conversation was about, and the health conscious bloggers that attended, CLICK HERE.
