Why the “tech” of cryotherapy does not compare to ice baths!
This is not to say one is harder than the other but what are the overall benefits!
To the naked eye the cryo-therapy would seem better (because its roughly -200 degrees inside), easier and less messy but.... You have to have access to a facility with those machines and you have to be able to afford that service regularly.

The added benefits of ICE BATHS!
1. Ease of Access 2. Improved Blood Flow Due To Water Pressure 3. Increased Vagus Nerve Stimulation
They both will help with one’s ability to deal with anxiety, inflammation, muscle recovery, sleep and cold shock protein production.
I just bought “The ICE POD” for under $200 and I couldn’t be more excited because I was just buying bags and bags of ice to fill up the bath tub at my place and it was never ideal.
Long story short! Ice Baths are like a metaphor for life, your ability to stay calm in tough and uncomfortable situations makes all the small things that much easier.
I'm going to show you my favorite bicep exercise to get some guns like this. I'm just kidding.
So, here's what I do, You need three things: a carabiner a curl bar and a half inch thick superband.
So I'm going to clip a carabiner around the resistance band like so. And now I have two things and polls. Those are going to go on either foot. And now, instead of your traditional barbell curl, you get nonstop resistance.
You get increasing tension as you cross that 90 degree mark, as opposed to the opposite when you go back because once your hands go above this roughly 75 degree angle, the gravity of the bar starts to just sit atop of your elbows, right. It feels great, constant burn and the burn goes better and even better.
Watch the full video on my instagram to learn the step by step on how to do this exercise.
So this is great because it functions as a dumbbell kettlebell, a parallel and a medicine ball. I'll show you what I mean.
So like a dumbbell, you can grab in the middle and be able to have all of the weight perfectly surrounding your wrist.
Or you can use like a kettlebell because you can grab any one of the outside holders and do all of your kettlebell flow movements.
Or any kettlebell strength movement doesn't matter.
You can use it like a medicine ball because you can grab multiple handles at once. And you can do tons of moves there.
And then lastly, you can use it like a parallel because you can do push ups on the ground with them.
I love them personally. They're a great addition to the home gym. They're a great way to save space and save money. They are a little pricey, but their domain with a great new print material. They go all the way up to I believe 44 pounds all the way down to two. So check out the why bells. I think it's Go check them out if you're looking to add a nice, clean, high, high quality piece of equipment to your new home gym.
Mini Band Walks are done wrong in the gym ALL THE TIME! Here’s a common mistake I see people make when they’re doing a lateral band.
Number one, they grab too much resistance and they can’t physically do the actual opening of the hips with the adductors. Remember we are trying to target the abductors at the top of the hip your glute medius your glute max right. So the lower that we put the band, the further the level of point and the resistance is from that point, the more tension is going to feel but only if you do it right. So I typically have people put it around the middle of their caps, a lot of people will go to the ankles and automatically, they’re probably trying to do too much setting area to that while we’re moving. A lot of people will roll up and down. I prefer to stay in that quarter squat and not move or waver from that position.
The other cue that I give a lot of people is to put the weight on the outsides of their feet because if you keep the weight on the insides of your feet, the medial arch of your foot, you have the weight on the inside of your heel and the big toe. Now your knees don’t have to open but if I put the weight on the outside of my feet onto the pinkie and the lateral blade and larger my foot now I’m forced to open up the hips in smaller steps. Take steps to the slide in or stand up. Stay low, take smaller steps and put the weight on the outsides of your feet. That’s a quick and easy tutorial on how to make your bed and walks way more effective.

You’re gonna do three rounds as quickly but as effectively as you can. So you’re going to start with the band around your wrist, fingers or spread. You’re pushing out in front from the chest, almost like a chest press.
You’re gonna go for 10 Once you get there, you’re going to raise and go down across thighs,10 nodes here as well. Then you’re gonna go overhead. I’m going to take a nice you can see what I’m doing here. We’re going to create that tension to ride the elbows down as if you’re doing a lat pulldown.
And then after 10 of those, you’re going to go palms up, we’re gonna go for external rotation, call these the end up no monies. And lastly, you’re going arrow. You’re extending one arm, you’re pulling across the chest. You’ll do 10 on each side. You can try let me know what you think.
What’s good y’all DFoss here I wanted to share with you some of my key tricks to improving my cardiovascular health without the high impact stress of things like running….
So I just finished a two and a half mile rollerblading session with my 20 pound pack on, which is key tip number one. If you’re doing anything on land, you add some extra weight and farmer’s carries you add a pack that will automatically increase cardiovascular output.
But my three favorite forms of low impact cardiovascular training are going to be number one rollerblading, that’s my favorite.
I love to be out in the sun. I love to be out in the streets and go wherever I want.
Number two is swimming. I love to be underwater. You can’t have a pack on but you can practice long breath diving, which is huge.
And number three would be the bike. No real benefit to adding the pack but bike is a great way to get that lower body moving without the impact.

Alright, squad. If you’re looking for a good crunch or a high-quality chip, I have it right here. It’s a healthy way eating your favourite potato chips. This is another Trader Joe’s pickup, and I highly suggest you check it out. And once again, we’re looking for clean, quality ingredients. One of the major things that most people overlook is the ingredient list. It’s very simple.
Read it if you can, and if you understand the words you’re saying, it’s most likely a good choice. If there is no label, it’s probably a good choice if there’s a label with a bunch of things that sound scientific but that you can’t say. probably not a good choice. and specifically with chips, look out for canola oil, sunflower and/or safflower oil, palm oil, those things that we don’t want those oils to turn into fat, fat, or the actual membranes of ourselves, so look out for these ships, olive oil, and potato chips, There are only three ingredients right here: potatoes, olive oil, and sea salt. Check them out.
