Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness turns 10 in 2012

A decade ago, I sat on board a cruise ship where I worked as a massage therapist in the spa, and in my free time I wrote the contents that would become www.veganbodybuilding.com. With articles, meal plans, training programs, photos, contests and even a blog, before the word was invented, our website went live and reached out to a global audience. We’re excited to announce that we will be offering contests and prize give-aways throughout the year to celebrate a decade of commitment to veganism and athletic excellence.

Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness clothing is back with more variety than ever

After a yearlong hiatus, the Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness clothing is back with more items than ever before. Gym bags, tank tops, muscle shirts, headbands, wristbands, tote bags, and of course t-shirts are all available on www.veganbodybuilding.com as well as retailers including www.veganessentials.com, and soon on www.veganproteins.com and www.karmavore.ca. Show your support of Vegan Bodybuilding & Fitness by sporting the clothing at your gym and in your community. If you have suggestions for new items such as hooded sweatshirts, water bottles, or anything else you’d like to see, please pass feedback along to [email protected]. Post action photos wearing the clothing items on your social networking websites too!

Vega’s NEW Sports Product Line

Our friends at Vega have released the most comprehensive, complete plant-based sports nutrition line ever created. Vega Sport products include three stages of nourishment; Prepare, Sustain, and Recover. The NEW Vega Sports Products feature pre-workout energy drinks, electrolyte drinks, energy gels, endurance and protein bars, recovery drinks, and muscle-building protein drinks. All products are available from www.veganessentials.com and www.veganproteins.com as well as select national retailers such as Whole Foods Market, Vitamin Shoppe and some GNC locations.
