Roll Model® Treat While You Train Kit
The Roll Model® Method is a soft-tissue conditioning, self-treatment modality that uses the various Roll Model® Therapy Balls for self-myofascial release.
The use of specific techniques with the Roll Model® Therapy Balls un-glues internal stiffness and promotes slide and glide amongst all the soft tissue layers including skin, fascia, muscles, tendons, ligaments, and more. This will improve mobility, increase range of motion and enhance circulation, helping to eradicate your aches and pains and reform your body from the inside out.
There are balls of different sizes and densities to help target different body areas and allow for varying pressure needs to help craft an individualized approach.
I also recommend The Roll Model book, which is filled with over 100 rollout techniques covering every body area.

UltraInflamX™ by Nutri Advanced
Forever Freedom®
Forever Freedom® has combined aloe vera with substances that support healthy joint function and mobility. Each serving provides the usually recommended amounts of Glucosamine Sulfate (1500mg), Chondroitin Sulfate (1200mg), plus 750mg of MSM and 250mg of vitamin C. Glucosamine Sulfate and Chondroitin Sulfate are natural substances that help maintain the structure and health of cartilage, keeping this natural “shock absorber” well hydrated. They also help keep the lubricating fluid within the joint at the necessary viscosity to allow one surface to glide freely over another. MSM is a primary source of bio-available sulfur the body needs to maintain healthy connective tissues and joint function.
Tushy Ottoman
Modern toilets aren’t designed to allow someone to easily empty their entire bowels because sitting creates a bend in the rectum.
Using the Tushy Ottoman, your adjusted posture opens your rectal canal from 100 to 120 degrees, allowing for an easier and less strenuous release of your bowels. No more straining, pushing or constipation.
Unlike competing products, the foot rest of the Tushy Ottoman is angled so that your heel is positioned downwards. This stretches the Achilles tendon and simulates a deeper squat than you’re actually sitting in.
