health & fitness buying guide
Getting into “shape,” being “fit,” and living a “healthy life” goes far beyond exercise. The best athletes and healthiest people know that several elements (mindset, movement, nutrition, recovery, and sleep) make up health, performance, and well-being.
Below is our list of the products we trust, believe in, and use to help us eliminate the guesswork and continue to move, look and feel like an athlete at every age.
Sleep
Eight Sleep - Eight Sleep Pod Pro is like the cold side of the pillow all night long. It’s such a great product, we couldn’t help but to do a review on it. Watch the video above for an in-depth review after 225 sleeps on the Pod Pro.
Use our referral link, eight-sleep.ioym.net/4e23PL to purchase your Pod Pro mattress or a Pod Pro Cover to use with your current bed AND use our discount code “AMBITIOUS” to get an additional $100 off your purchase and on top of whatever sale or discount may be going on.

Recovery
Kane Footwear
These shoes crush from the gym to the beach, for a walk, run, rock scamper, bike ride, pool, hike, boating, and beyond.
They are uber-supportive with generous cushioning and a wide toe box that lets your foot spread open without constraints - 10mm heel/toe drop - quality arch support - and raised footbed nodes stimulate the foot (love these). This shoe breathes exceptionally well but is warm enough in east coast fall weather with socks on. Also stylish with or without socks.
