If you’ve been relying on an old tennis ball to help elevate muscle tension, then it’s time to step up your game with Gaiam’s Hot/Cold Trigger Point Massage Ball. Its textured bumpy surface integrates with Hot and Cold Therapy to help pinpoint areas of stress in the arms legs and back by stimulating blood flow and relaxing muscles (Hot Therapy) and/or reducing inflammation and slowing circulation to problem areas (Cold Therapy). Simply place the 6” ball in a freezer or hot water to activate the Hot/Cold technology, and you’ll be well on your way to relieving muscle soreness from the comforts of your home.
Authors Brett Stewart and Jason Warner join forces to create an easytofollow resource filled with straightforward information and exercises that will guide you to stronger and leaner muscles by simply using a BOSU® Balance Trainer with your body weight, and a dumbbell or two. We’ve featured the BOSU® Balance Trainer in a previous issue of Bello Mag, and could probably feature it in 10 more, but in short it’s a phenomenal piece of equipment that is worth checking out. The beauty of this book is that it cuts right to the chase with a simple overview, followed by sets of basic and advanced programs that target upper, lower or overall body, and ends with 60+pages filled with images of exercises and stretches that will be beneficial to anyone, whether a novice or a master.
If you’re looking for an alternative to conventional chemical based sunscreens, then Coola Plant UV Body Sunscreen is just for you - it’s one of the best organic sunscreen brands on the market. The naturally protective plant cells of the Lilac leaf and Buddleja Davidii (aka summer lilac) stems protect with their anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, while Beet Root and Cordyceps Mushroom Extracts help protect the skin and defend against premature aging. Organic Cucumber Extract has been added to soothe skin, and organic emollients like Shea Butter and Coconut Oil promote moisture. Comes in SPF 30. Be safe, apply your sunscreen and enjoy your summer without any worry.
