Easing Post-Workout Soreness with Biofreeze

INJURY, TRAINING

Biofreeze Trio


Nothing beats the feeling of a tough workout–when you feel completely exhausted, and you know you’re going to feel it the next day! However, when the feeling next day is soreness that lingers and interferes with daily activities, it’s time to turn to something topical like Biofreeze® and some good old-fashioned foam rolling and self massage!

Foam Rolling and Self Massage

Never underestimate the power of some foam rolling for relieving soreness and tightness. Simply roll the part of your body that is sore back and forth on the foam roller. You can vary the pressure you apply, depending on your needs. If you don’t have a foam roller, try a tennis ball for a targeted self massage. After your foam rolling or self massage, apply Biofreeze®.

Biofreeze®

I love using Biofreeze® after a tough workout or long run and then again before I go to bed. The USP (United States Pharmacopeia) grade menthol feels cool and refreshing. It’s great at relieving soreness and helping my legs feel springy again. I love that it provides safe and effective pain relief without any non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, salicylates or addictive substances. You won’t find parabens or propylene glycol in it either–there is even a dye-free formula!

Biofreeze 2 Products

My Favorite Biofreeze® Products

My two favorite Biofreeze® products are the continuous 360° spray and the roll-on. Both products allow you to apply the product without getting it on your hands– a definite bonus if you are often on the go! I stash both of these products in my gym/running bag, so they are close at hand when I need them. The roll-on works really well on your shins or around your neck and shoulders, while the Continuous 360° Spray is great for hard to reach areas like your back!

Biofreeze 360 Continuous spray

Forget the mess of an ice bag after a tough workout or long run, and use mess-free Biofreeze®. There’s no need for a prescription to take advantage of the benefits of Biofreeze®, and you can now pick up Biofreeze® at major retailers (I just saw it on the shelf in Target!). You can find a retailer near you by clicking HERE.

One of the best things about whole foods plant-bas One of the best things about whole foods plant-based eating is that weekday meal prep can get a lot easier! This afternoon, I came home from a day of teaching, tutoring, and kid,-chauffeuring, and there wasn’t a lot of time to get some thing ready for dinner. Thankfully, there was some arugula in the fridge and I used the night before’s pasta dish and a can of diced tomatoes to repurpose a new dinner! #who#wholefoodsplantbaseda#plantstronga#plantbasedrecipesa#plantbaseddinnern#runonplantsa#plantbasedg#veganfood#mojo.video

Frozen meals are an AWESOME option for busy weeknights or a quick lunch at work. Our family loves bowls, so the @fronterafoods Chicken Verde Burrito Bowl was a huge hit! My personal favorite was the @mariecallenders_  Shrimp Fajita Meal – it had the perfect amount of spiciness and the black beans were delicious! My middle son is a pasta lover, so he called dibs on the @bertolli_us Pasta Sides Herb Gnocchi - SO GOOD! It’s perfect for a quick meal or to serve alongside an easy to prep Italian meal like the @mariecallenders_ Duos Creamy Pesto Chicken + Four Cheese Ravioli. Since our family loves PF Chang’s, the battle for the  @pfchangshomemenu Chicken Teriyaki bowl was hotly contested! The last item we were excited to try was the @gardein Ultimate Plant-Based Breakfast Saus'ge Original. Believe it or not– 2 of our boys are still in school until June 29th, so these plant-based breakfast sausages have been a great option to add to a quick breakfast before school. Stock up on these delicious frozen options and save the time and hassle of prepping lunch or dinner on busy summer days!

It was the perfect ending to a beautiful day. S’mores choices included sea salt and caramel, mint chocolate, peanut butter cups, milk chocolate, strawberries, bananas! It was sea salt and caramel for the win. 🥇
