This Rise of the Home Gym

There’s no doubt that the COVID pandemic and lockdowns changed how we think about fitness and home training. As all of us experienced gyms across the nation closing, we had to find ways to get our workouts in. Most people didn’t want to let their health and fitness progress slip away, so they turned to setting up their own gym at home.

The home gym equipment market absolutely exploded according to a Gitnux study, with sales going from $6.76 billion to over $9.49 billion in 2020—quite a sizable

Buying Guide: Mini Massage Guns

Percussive (or percussion) massage therapy utilizes a combination of rapid, repetitive pressure and vibration therapy to soothe sore muscles. The massage head moves quickly and forcefully with vibrations against the outer layer of your skin, which increases blood flow and applies soothing pressure directly to soft tissue. With the right percussive massage gun, you can adjust the intensity of the frequencies to get customized and soothing comfort for most parts of your body. Percussive massage th

Troubleshooting Tips for Your FitRx Mini Pro Massage Gun

Where should I not use the massager? You should never use the massager on sensitive skin, swollen or inflamed areas, skin bruises, or varicose veins.

Consult with your doctor before attempting to massage areas with poor blood circulation or unidentified pain.

Going Beast Mode with the FitRx SmartBell

There’s no doubt that the pandemic fundamentally changed how people work out. As everything shut down at the start of 2020 and we all had to stay at home, our exercise plans had to be switched up on the fly. Most of us no longer had access to gyms or any type of real equipment, which ultimately led to the rise of home workout equipment. It had to be compact, stored easily, and still provide a solid workout—it had to be a smarter way to enhance your fitness. FitRx met this need with its top-selli

Safety Questions Before Using Leg Compression Therapy

Before using the massager, make sure that your skin is free of dirt, oils, or lotions before placing the adhesive pads. Do not overlap the pads on your skin or set them up in a way they’re not supposed to.

Fully dry your legs if they are wet. Do not submerge the RecoverMax or allow it to make excessive contact with water to avoid electric shock. Plus, don’t drive or operate any sort of machinery during the massage, as well as exercise, or move around excessively.

Make sure you’re in a relaxed

Troubleshooting Tips for Your RecoverMax

Troubleshooting questions about either the air compression or heat therapy are among the most common ones we receive, but luckily there are easy fixes to solve most operation issues. For starters, firmly connect the LCD controller to the adjustable Velcro straps’ air pressure hoses and the AC adapter.

In addition, securely re-plug the AC adapter into a nearby wall outlet. One or several components of the massager may be broken, though, if none of the above troubleshooting suggestions work. In t

You’ve probably thought this to yourself plenty of times before while lifting weights. If you are new to weight training, or you don’t have a personal trainer, then it can be challenging to be sure of just how much of a rest you should take in between sets.

Too little rest may result in you overdoing it, which could lead to extreme fatigu
