You cannot watch a full hour of TV without being subjected to a new “home workout” device. Between the Ab Roller, Ab Rocket Twister, The Perfect Pull-up, and The Perfect Push-up commercials, the only device I truly needed was my remote in order to turn off the TV. However, then I started to think: do these products actually work? I’ve spoken to a bunch of friends of mine, and most have never tried any of these products. I decided to succumb to wishes of the lady with the tight abs in the commercial, and bought myself The Perfect Sit-Up for $59.99.

Assembly of the product was fairly simple; however it looked more like a Lady Gaga contraption than it did a workout device. The Perfect Sit-up combines an upper body crunch with a lower abdominal leg lift. It is designed to lower head and neck strain while using the equipment. The Success motion clicker lets you know if a complete motion range is reached by producing a click sound. That click sound gets very annoying very quickly. All in all, I found myself more frustrated than sweaty after a 10 minuet trial with this device. The clicking sound, although beneficial, became very irritating, and it disturbed my workout routine. My feet would periodically slip out of its holders which would disrupt the flow of the workout. Overall, I was not too happy with my experience with The Perfect Sit-Up, and will be very wary of buying another “home workout” product in the future.

Whenever I think about sports performance drinks, Vitaminwater is always one of the first brands to pop into my head. I love the stuff, especially the zero-cal version. Interestingly though, just a few years ago Vitaminwater was an unknown brand that was giving out free samples just to gain visibility and acceptance. Look how much it’s exploded since then…it’s already reached the top-5 selling sports performance drinks worldwide. Looking back at Vitaminwater’s ascension to the top of the sports drink world, its one of those things that you look at and tell yourself: “man, why didn’t I jump on board sooner.”

With Vitaminwater’s explosion in mind, I think I’ve found the next HUGE drink on the market. If you’ve never had a Neuro, or don’t know what Neuro is, keep listening. This stuff is going to blow up, and it’s going to blow up in a big, big way.

Neuro Drinks is a new line of low-calorie, lightly carbonated, functional drinks that serve to elicit a wide range of effects, including heightened mental functioning, sexual performance, and better sleep. Not only are there only 35 calories per bottle, but the stuff tastes incredible with only a minimal amount of added sugar. More importantly, Neuro works for each of its intended functions. I can’t think of another product that so perfectly blends low calories, amazing and unique taste, and such powerful functional performance…it’s pretty magical. Neuro’s cool, really different and unique from other drinks available, and the bottle’s straight up awesome. The fact that they’re using Justin Timberlake, Amanda Beard, and Lady Gaga to embody the essence of their brand is just too cool, literally.

Neuro currently comes in 7 flavors, each of which has its own unique blend of scientifically-backed ingredients to produce a very different functional benefit. The flavors include: Bliss, Gasm, Sonic, Aqua, Sport, Sleep, and Trim.

• NeuroBliss: Bliss does what it’s name says…it promotes happiness, relaxation, and stress reduction. It contains hydroxytryptophan (tryptophan’s in turkey, which is why it makes you drowsy) and L-theanine, amino acids that promote relaxation and a calm feeling. I’ve used Bliss before big presentations to chill out and relax, it’s definitely helped me present in a more calm, more controlled way.
• NeuroGasm: Gasm promotes better sexual health, but it also supports better circulation and blood flow. In effect, Gasm is basically a less intense pre-workout drink. Gasm’s a great option before a killer workout to increase strength and endurance.
• NeuroSonic: Sonic is probably my favorite Neuro, it’s so functional and works incredibly well. It’s intended to boost memory, concentration, cognitive performance, and attention. It’s basically a less intense energy drink, but with the same effects and no crash. I’ve used Sonic a lot to study for tests, to enhance focus during a workout, or just as a pick-me-up…it’s powerful and puts you IN THE ZONE. It really makes you feel incredible.
• NeuroSleep: Sleep promotes better sleep quality. In my experience, Sleep knocks you the hell out and you stay out. If you’re having problem sleeping, NeuroSleep is definitely worth a shot.
• NeuroTrim: Trim is designed as a solution for healthy weight loss. It works by significantly curbing appetite  and revving up  your metabolism. Drinking Trim before meals is a great way to reduce the amount of calories you eat.
• NeuroAqua: I’ve never had Aqua, so I can’t comment on its flavor, but for the most part it seems like purified water.
• NeuroSport: Sport is Neuro’s version of Gatorade. Sport has the ideal level of sugar for an intra-workout drink, plus it contains the electrolytes calcium, sodium, chloride, magnesium, and potassium, which help support healthy fluid balance and hydration. Interestingly, Sport also has calcium which can help increase the strength of muscle contractions. Sport’s great for anyone who participates in athletics and wants that extra burst of energy, an extra bit of strength, or the hydration to keep you going and going.

Whether you’re trying to get pumped up for a kickass workout, studying endlessly for a test, trying to get a good nights sleep,  or just want a delicious, low-cal drink, Neuro is the way to go. Go pick up a Neuro and join the phenomenon that’s about to hit the nation, if not the world, hard.

Couple that with campus “meal plans,” and late night snacking, and you have a recipe for disaster. ClassroomCrunches provides simple and easy to perform in-dorm workout routines, nutritional facts for healthier dieting, product reviews, and a forum for students to interact and share how they are able to juggle school, work, and while maintaining a healthy lifestyle. ClassroomCrunches will also become the #1 destination for college students to shop for in-dorm fitness equipment, health products, and vitamin supplements at affordable prices.
