If you’re a baseball fan you may have noticed one of your favorite baseball players wearing what looks like a piece of cord around their neck. More than likely, he is wearing a Titanium necklace made by a company by the name of Phiten.I was introduced to Phiten while visiting the New York Marathon Exhibition Hall last fall. It so happened I had a crick in my neck and the gentleman manning the Phiten boot gave me a sample pack of Titanium Discs. Believe it or not, after a while of wearing the discs, my neck started to loosen up.
I was so excited by this product I asked Phiten if they would sponsor a Jillian Michaels Bootcamp I was participating in and low and behold they donated 50 Titanium Disc sample packages for distribution to our bootcamp participants.
So, what’s the technology behind Phiten’s products? The titanium in the necklaces (discs, tape, massage cream, et al) supposedly realigns the bioelectric current in your body, thus increasing blood circulation and relaxing muscles. In a nutshell, placing these pieces of titanium on the body will stabilize your current and help your body run better.
You may or may not buy in to this philosophy. It could be that the true power of Phiten’s products lay within the wearer. With a host of professional athletes such as Josh Beckett (baseball), Joba Chamberlain (baseball), Lleyton Hewitt (tennis), Jennie Finch (USA Softball), Sergio Garcia (Golf), and Paula Radcliffe (Marathoner) using and wearing Phiten’s products, you’d be in awfully good company!

7 Responses to "Phiten Review And Sweepstakes"I work out 5 times a week. Running is my choice for cardio but I will also throw in a spin class or other cardio class to switch it up. I lift weights 3 times a week and go to yoga once a week as well.
Hi Susan! Phiten sounds pretty interesting...got a left shoulder that would love to give it a test drive!
Just got back from a kayaking weekend, but lately I've been doing kettlebell swings in the morning, in sets of 10 with 30 seconds rest between sets. Working my way up to 25 sets of 10 in a session.
Also doing old school strength sessions twice a week of deadlifts, pushups and chin-ups with intervals (bike and running)on 'off days'. Will be starting up another John LeTocq 6 week session next week.
Hope you're feeling better!
Take good care,
Fred

I get some pain in my right shoulder sometimes. Wonder if this would help. I've worn amber necklaces before under the same premise.
Zack, hmmmm, so I can't say you should get the hernia fixed, even though that would be the reasonable response, eh? Well, I'm not doctor but I did a bit of research and found that exercise is only likely to aggravate the condition.
This is due to the fact that a hernia exists due to a localized absence of muscle and supporting structure. While exercise can strengthen the surrounding muscles, it will also worsen the localized weakness and increasing the pressures inside the abdomen. The result is that more tissue can be forced through the defect, thus enlarging the hernia.
So ........... I guess you can stay immobile? GO GET IT FIXED!!! :)
My latest workout:
prisoner squats
pushups
ball leg curls
db chest press
db step up
pushups
1-leg hip extension
planks
bird dogs
followed by interval cardio
Harder than it looks! :-)
