The Rollga – What is It? How Can I Get One? Why you NEED one!

Standard

RollgaMultipleWhat? Yes, I said Rollga.  It’s basically the way to take Foam Rolling to an entirely new level of Awesome.  I have tried foam rolling to help out my always too tight hamstrings and more, but always end up in a lot of pain afterwards.

Enter..ROLLGA.

The Rollga is a Contoured Foam Roller.  From Softer to Firm, there is a Rollga for every body shape, size and age.  I have had numerous issues with low back and my Si Joint for years, and this bad boy has become my best friend.

Rollga is a cross-directional foam roller designed to stabilize the hips, align the back, and increase range-of-motion. The Rollga foam roller is ideal for muscle recovery, fascial health, and functional restoration of movement. Ordinary foam rollers cause discomfort and pain due to the unfitting design. This groovy foam roller is designed and contoured to fit your body and reach trigger points that are difficult to reach with an ordinary roller.

Our entire body is consumed with connective tissue called, Fascia. Just like anything in our body, connective tissue degenerates and breaks down over time. The degeneration of fascia can be accelerated with repetitive overuse, stress or injury. Rollga is a high-quality foam roller that brings regeneration to damaged tissue, by influencing circulation of oxygen-rich blood flow. Rollga will prevent fascia from becoming unhealthy. By restoring your fascia, you will restore your mobility.

Fixing my Marriage…and self …one Pinterest project at a time.

Standard

Finding my path to health and wellness has not come easy to me.  I can see, plain as day, what I need to do, but the motivation to do so, is another ordeal entirely.

Stress from work, home, family, money, blah blah blah…has really put a damper on my spirit as of late and I’m looking for outlets to bring back my vigor, my creative, fun nature and my drive.  I may have found it.

Charlie working 1My husband and I have started “projects”.  The kind of projects that either fill our house, are gifted to others, or sold for a little extra cash.  There is something lively and electric about the search for the perfect pieces to our masterpieces.  Sometimes it’s a simple drive to the Home Depot or Thrift Store, other times it a 30 min drive to get wooden pallets from a friends farm.  It’s always an adventure and always a challenge.

When we get the products, it about how we can do it better than the last time, improve it, get MORE creative and Charlie and I just gel during these!

Projects_workingWe get so caught up in our crazy lives that Charlie and I tend to nit-pick at each other for the dumbest things.  When we are creating together, however, it’s like a new spark, a new journey and it’s so refreshing.  It’s like craft time for adults!

Someday, we’ll teach Timothy how to use the saws, hammers and more to create for himself, but for now, Pinterest has become the catalyst to our “date nights” and I’m so grateful!

Help, Please. The Toughest Phrase in the English Language.

IMG_4481I’ve been spiraling downward for months now.  Deluding myself into thinking that i’m just fine. I’m just happy. I’m in control of my weight, of my eating, of my thinking.

Nope.

Not so much.

I made the call.

It was a sunny day.  A Friday.  I was driving with the windows down, the radio up and a strange feeling of ambition.

Sitting at a stoplight, I picked up my phone and dialed.

It rang. Three times it rang.

“Hey Brook!” Ben, my trainer, answered with a smile.

I took a deep breath, let all the pride, anger, hurt and self-loathing free.  I was ready to admit it.

“I need help.”

 

And so a new journey begins….

The break up

Standard

Dear coffee..
I have known this conversation would happen at some point, but I guess we never really can prepare for things like this. I don’t know how to turn my back on my best friend. you’ve been with me through celebration and through countless tired mornings, but it’s time.
it’s time to give up bad breath and barista languages ..you ‘ll always be more than a ten to me..a venti.

But it’s time i take my life into my own hands rather than be tied down to you. So with this I saw farewell, coffee. And bring on being healthy and happy
