All right, so what do I have for you? I've got three gift ideas and yes, they're all down below. You can buy them down below Here we go the foot log right here This is called the foot log developed developed by a doctor if you've been watching this channel for a long time You know how much I love coffee. I Might love the foot log just as much as coffee. Now that is saying a lot I love this thing because it digs into my foot so well the roller massage Love this thing and then I don't love this thing because it brings on so much pain in my life But basically this is a giant rubber band also called the pro band. Basically. It's for stretching Sometimes yes, I love the stretching at times and but I got it Improved my stretching if I want to stay healthy moving into 2019 like it's critical. It's absolutely critical What does the foot log actually do? It helps with? reflexology circulation and Finding trigger points on the bottom of your feet and the side of your feet and yes I've even used it on the top of my feet to a to a certain extent and It's all based upon these little knobs You can see here and they feel so good in addition the foot log can help improve Circulation and that's really important for runners is circulation our blood You know goes from our heart down to our feet and that's a long ways And so we need to be drawing blood down to our feet as much as possible to help with healing to help with Recovery all of that stuff and so by massaging your feet with this guy, so I didn't I'm not the scientist but basically it helps with the Like the flexibility of your blood vessels which again not the doctor So what you want to do is you want to roll your foot on this guy for five to eight minutes every time you use it Just sit down in a chair and just massage and it feels so good So I highly highly recommend this thing if this might help me overcome my plantar fasciitis I'm not even kidding in the second item and again It's available down below the roller massage now I love the foot log the most for recovery, but this guy is a really really really really close second. Oh my goodness Okay, this is not plastic. This is a very dense foam So it basically allows you to dig just a little deeper into into that deep tissue. Oh my goodness I use this especially on my soleus and see these ridges here These ridges allow you to really find those sweet spots that are extra sore I wish I would have had this last year when I was battling the shin splints. This would have helped so so much I am a fool for not having it last year So if you have shin splints or any sort of really nasty soreness in your calves and you can use it on your hamstrings and quads I'd say it's maybe not quite as effective there I definitely below the knee is where I like to use this the most Amazing. I love it so so much Oh and one last thing a couple of you have been commenting about IT band issues money This is your money shot. Oh man Just digging into that IT band area not too hard at first go gentle at first But then slowly start working into it. Hmm.
