Sighted with a Celsius

Coach Jim Calhoun (right) of the UCONN Basketball enjoys a Celsius on the green during the 15th Annual UConn Club Golf Tournament. Coaching one of the top teams in the NCAA does require the energy and focus that Celsius provides after all. I wonder if it’s part of his playbook…

Celsius Featured In Men’s Health Magazine

Men’s Health Magazine recommends trying Celsius to boost your next workout.  Our clinical studies show that when consumed 20 minutes before a work out, Celsius improves endurance and increases the loss of fat mass while increasing the gain of muscle mass.  The article also discusses how caffeine can increase focus and alertness and even helps promote heart health.
Harvard research has shown that drinking an average of 400mg of caffeine a day reduces the risk of developing Parkinsons disease, as it stimulate dopamine molecules in the brain. 
The article provides excellent insight into how caffeine competes with a naturally occurring compound called adenosine, which works to slow down body and mind throughout the day.  The caffeine molecules act as a block to adenosine receptors and increases nervous system response.

Miami Dragonboat team loves Celsius!

Just received this in my in box and thought I’d share it here on the HotSpot.
 
“This is our new friend Simon who is the president of a top Dragon Boat Team in Miami. Their team is achieving new heights with Celsius prior to their work out.
They used to utilize Red Bull, but they got tired of the bad ingredients and lack of performance.  Now they became our new fans!

-Marcello”
 
For those of you who are unfamiliar with dragon boat’s, wikipedia say it best,” A dragon boat (also dragonboat) is a very long and narrow canoe-style human-powered boat now used in the team paddling sport of dragon boat racing which originated in China over 2000 years ago. While competition has taken place annually for more than 20 centuries as part of folk ritual, it emerged in modern times as an international "sport" in Hong Kong in 1976. Like running, horse racing and marksmanship, the racing of dragon boats is among mankind's oldest organized competitions.”

Celsius at UFC 98 in Las Vegas with 911 Fitness

Alfredo was out in Las Vegas for UFC 98 and to meet up with the Celsius 911 Fitness winners.  Sounds like everyone had a lot of fun and Celsius was a big hit on the Las Vegas Strip.
"Celsius was a BIG HIT at the UFC fight this past Memorial Day weekend. The weekend started with a welcome reception with the Celsius 911 Fitness winning teams, (with the exception of the California team who couldn’t get the time off) at the Hooters Hotel and Casino on Thursday night. Once everyone was checked into the hotel the teams met in the lobby for a quick meet and greet where I handed out the Celsius 911 Fitness shirts and Vitamin Shoppe gift cards along with Celsius 4-packs to each of the winning team members.

Then Friday afternoon everyone reunited at the MGM Grand Arena, which is located directly across the street from the Hooters Casino. Once at the arena, we were greeted by the UFC officials.  This was a good opportunity for the teams to get know each other. I was able to get some candid pictures of the teams interacting with one another, as well as with the infamous UFC fighter Nick Catone. Miraculously enough, I was actually able to get Nick to try Celsius and wear a Celsius 911 Fitness winner’s shirt. After about 20 minutes of mingling we were then escorted into the arena for the Celsius 911 check presentation. Here I was able to sneak in some Celsius in my camera case and snap some shots of Celsius placed in front of the ring before I was caught. Then it was on for the Celsius 911 check presentation by UFC fighter Frank Mir to all four winning teams. After all the checks were presented we participated in the Q&A session in the main arena with Frank Mir followed by the official weigh-in.   Over 5,000 UFC fans attended the weigh-in!

Saturday, I had a few hours to kill before the fight so I packed my bag with some cold Celsius and headed down the Vegas strip for some grassroots samplings. It was still early and most people I met were saying Celsius was exactly what they needed to get them moving after a long night. I was able to make a stop at the Bellagio where I did a photo shoot with Celsius in front of the water show. I would like to think that my photo shoot was the reason the Bellagio had such a nice crowd, but someone told me it was the water show. Immediately following the water show I was able to sample Celsius to the spectators who had gathered. At 4pm all teams met at the MGM Grand arena for the fight. I’m sure you are eager to know who won the fights. Well, I’m glad you asked. In the grudge match between fierce rivals and former welterweight champions Matt Hughes and Matt Serra is finally over. After months of Serra talking trash about Hughes Serra lost the match in unanimous decision. In the main event Lyoto Machidawas able to knock out UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Rashad Evans in the second round to take the belt form Evans."

†In a study of 60 healthy college-aged men and women, 100 calories represents the average calories burned over three hours for those participants consuming a single serving of Celsius®. Celsius® alone does not produce weight loss in the absence of a healthy diet and moderate exercise. Loss of fat mass, gain of muscle mass and improved endurance were benefits found for participants consuming a single serving of Celsius everyday and 15 minutes prior to exercise in a study using a 10-week moderate exercise program.
