Roll it out with the Original Rollga Roller

The Original Rollga Roller for Runners and Athletes

There are so many great tools to use now for Myo-Fascial Release to help your body recover after a hard workout.  I recently received the Original Rollga Roller to try.  The Rollga is great for helping with neck and back pain, shin splints and plantar fasciitis,  and IT Band therapy. This roller is set up with different zones that you can use to target different areas. The roller comes with a brief guide of different stretches and exercises that you can do and a strap for ease of carrying to your next race!

It’s still fall so still time for more pumpkin!

Nature’s Path Organic Pumpkin Toaster Pastries and Granola Bars

Nature’s Path Organic Frosted Pumpkin Pie Toaster Pastries and Pumpkin-N-Spice Granola Bars are great fall grab and go snacks. I like having things like this on hand because I am always in and out during the day and on the go with my kids. Perfect for lunchbox snacks, after school snacks or to throw in your gym bag or purse. Both of these snacks from Nature’s Path are USDA Organic Certified and Non-GMO Project Verified.

By working together with others to achieve your own personal success your success will be greater as will that of those who work together with you. This article is definitely worth the read!
