“Our world is kind of awful.

No, Our world is great. For every person that plants a bomb, you have hundreds more running a marathon. For every person that makes a joke about the dead and dying, you have thousands more donating blood, offering prayers and volunteering their time. Things like this are the fault of single individuals who make loud, violent statements. We just have to make sure that the statements of the good are louder.”

The New York Times has spoken; “Reasons Not to Stretch” before exercise underscores what we’ve been saying about the benefits of buffing your muscles pre and post exercise with our bodybuffers. You will lessen your chances of injury, you will warm up your muscles more efficiently and, unlike static stretching, buffing your muscles will not adversely affect your performance.

Ever had a Charley Horse? Yup, that’s what it feels like. An excruciating, stabbing pain in the thighs or calves that can wake one out of a sound sleep.

While they are incredibly common, no one seems to know exactly why they occur. It could be age as older people seem to get them more frequently. Pregnant women are also susceptible. Other factors could be dehydration, electrolyte imbalances, certain exercises and sitting in the same position for too long. Additionally, blood pressure, antipsychotic and diabetes meds as well as steroids may contribute to the development of these awful cramps.

With hopes of explaining how our bodybuffers can help with this sort of muscle cramp, we turned to David Evrard, Sport Scientist and author of the upcoming book, The Ageless Athlete.

“Daily bodybuffing with the BelleCore bodybuffers can help with muscle cramps as they stimulate overall blood circulation. The deep massage they provide assists in flushing of the tissues of waste products and brings nutrients and oxygen into the muscles, ligaments and fascia (the connective tissue that surrounds the muscles.) The bodybuffer’s action relaxes adhesions between the skin, fascia, muscles and nerves allowing further circulation into and around those tissues. This facilitates the removal of accumulated toxins, metabolic waste, inflammation and deposits of systematic medications that have not been metabolized.

Our nerves are bio-chemically managed structures that require specific balances of nutrients in order to function properly. If our levels of sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium are depleted due to dehydration or excessive perspiration, muscle contraction can go awry often causing painful cramping.

It is well established that the nerves’ calcium and sodium channels can be, “tricked” by chemical imbalances which can cause the nerves to fire involuntarily. The muscles, circulatory and nervous systems benefit from the stimulation and fluid circulation the bodybuffers provide all the way to the cellular level.”

“Laughter as a Form of Exercise.” Yes, yes, a thousand times, YES! Seriously, our bodies and our emotions are completely entwined so make yourself giggle during the last grueling mile as it might help and be sure to use your bodybuffer when it’s over!

If you’re a bit north of 45 (like us) and wondering about the benefits of physical activity, you have to read this piece!

“While aerobic fitness is partly determined by genetics, and to that extent, the luck of the universe, much of a person’s fitness, especially by middle age, depends on physical activity, Dr. Berry says.”

This morning I ran with Sarah Reinertsen, the first woman with a prosthetic leg to finish the Ironman Kona. To say she’s inspiring is the hugest understatement ever.

Also, I have no idea how to wear a baseball cap, apparently.

This is what it looks like to be a strong 5’5” 138 lb female. #fitfluential

Sure I’d like to lose 6-8 lbs but I’m proud of my body. I work hard for it… and I play hard too. When I don’t “play” my weight naturally drops down to my happy weight of 132 lb. I’m posting this because I think too many people lie about their weight and it creates this illusion of a “goal weight” that just isn’t realistic or healthy. My weight for the past 5 years has fluctuated between 130 and 140 yet if you looked at the comments on many of my YouTube videos, you’d think it was 120-160.

To see what I look like at 132, click here!

Love this. And love Sarah, obviously.

Exercise, at least 3 to 4 times a week, will make you smarter! A study at Dartmouth College lead by Michael Hopkins shows regular cardio kick starts a particular gene which floods our cells with BDNF (brain derived neurotrophic factor) a protein that is believed to help with mental acuity, learning and memory.
