🤓 Today I am diving into the different types of magnesium supplements on the market. This is NOT an all inclusive list, but does cover the most common and easily available types of magnesium. 

1️⃣ Magnesium Malate - Best for muscle soreness, cramps and even fibromyalgia, raises magnesium levels 

2️⃣ Magnesium Citrate - Best for digestive support, mood and raises magnesium levels

3️⃣ Magnesium Glycinate - Best for Sleep, Mood and raises magnesium levels

4️⃣ Magnesium Chloride - Best in a cream for muscle soreness but can be taken orally to raise magnesium levels

5️⃣ Magnesium Lactate - Best choice to avoid an upset stomach and raise magnesium levels

6️⃣ Magnesium Oxide - Not a good choice, most likely to upset stomach and does not absorb into the system very well

🔙 Make sure to come back tomorrow to learn even more! I will be telling you how you can get your magnesium in without any supplements, just whole foods.

👍 Have a great day!

⚖️ How much Magnesium should you be taking in one day? For Women: 320mg for men: 420mg TOTAL (including supplements)

🧪 How much can you supplement in one day? NO MORE THAN 350mg for BOTH men and women. FitAid Hydrate has 125mg per serving, so no more than 2 packets in one day

🚽 Fun Fact: Your body naturally regulates the magnesium levels in your system, and will pass any extra with urine. So, if you supplement more than you need…you are WASTING your money 💁‍♂️

👀 Stick around, tomorrow I will be discussing the different types of magnesium and how they are best used 

👍 Have a great day!

🤪 The electrolyte craze is STRONG right now. Sometimes it feels like I am actually in Idiocracy, the movie. Everyone is taking them, but few know when to supplement and why. 

🎓 I’m making a mini-series talking all about electrolytes. This will be covering what each electrolyte does, where to get it, dosage and more. I am going to hit on the major 3👇

🧂 Salt 

🍑 Potassium 

🥑 Magnesium

👀 Keep a look out, tomorrow I am releasing the first video about Magnesium

🛋️ Do you just go home and crumble up into a ball on the couch? Get into that SAME position that caused the pain in the first place?

🚶🚶‍♀️ Try going on a 1 to 2 mile walk after your next massage, heck even a HALF mile walk will help. You just want to help reset after getting the tension and irregularities out of your muscles.

🤩 If you are already doing this, you’re the best. Keep it up. If you are not doing this, I’ll see you next week, when the pain comes back 🤣

🥾 To start off with, I go on a 1-2 mile hike. This just helps keep fluid moving in my body and helps reset after being turned into rubber. You can even go on a 1 mile to HALF mile walk, just get movement in!

🧘‍♂️ Then I go home and meditate for 10-15 minutes, taking into account how my body feels. Any areas of tension still? Any areas of extra relief? Just take inventory

💧 Just like BEFORE the massage, I make sure to drink plenty of water AFTER the massage. I will even throw in a electrolyte drink to help my body retain more of the water

👍 Try incorporating these three tips AFTER your next massage and see it the results last a bit longer

👀 At this point I’ll assume you watched the other two videos about my shoulder injury. (If not, go check them out for context) 

🎥 This video is my EXACT routine. I show you how to do the movements, tell you how many times I did the movements for the routine and what they are used for. 

🧠 Most of these movements are meant to help retrain my brain and nervous system that the shoulder is SAFE to use and it can be used like normal. 

💯 After a week of this routine, my shoulder is back to 100%. I will start back with weights next week and continue on like I was never hurt 🥳

🤕 Dealing with your own injury and want some help? Send me a DM

📸 Yesterday I posted what I did in the first 72 hours after injuring my shoulder. Today I am going to tell you my game plan and what I am doing to get back to 100%

🏃 I am starting with low-level cardio, to keep fluids moving and nutrients to be delivered where I need them. Rest is great for the first 72 hours but after that, getting the body primed for repair is EVEN BETTER

🙅‍♂️ I am NOT using weighted exercises yet, simply body weight and mobility routines to strengthen and stabilize the joint.

‼️ This plan is made for my SPECIFIC injury, this may not be what you need to fix your shoulder injury. DM me to get some help!

👀 Keep your eyes peeled, because tomorrow I’m going to show everyone my EXACT mobility routine and exercise set 

😫 Well I injured my shoulder this weekend 🤕

👍 Fortunately I am a RECOVERY SPECIALIST! Time to fix myself, and I’ll show you EXACTLY how I did it

🕜 For the first 24 hours, I let it rest. No ice, no heat, no stretching, no exercises, no anti-inflammatories, NOTHING - just rest (and Red Light 🔴)

🔄 24 hours later (48hrs after injury) I palpated and moved my shoulder around to get a feel for the pain, and see if I had any range of motion restrictions, and just kept note on how it felt and moved. Still JUST RESTING the shoulder.

🥳 At 72 hours after injury, my shoulder finished its inflammation response, swelling had decreased, as well as pain. My shoulder feels A LOT better, just from RESTING it. 

💪 Now, I have some remaining wonkiness and minor soreness. I’m going to release a few videos on how I am strengthening and stabilizing my shoulder to get it back to 100% - STAY TUNED!!

☕️ SKIP THE CAFFEINE - You may be able to handle 300MG a day but before your massage? 👎 Caffeine will leave your nervous system more excitable and ready to go, the opposite of what you want in a massage

☀️ In the MORNING before my massage, I get a light (I mean LIGHT) work out in, maybe it the sauna and prime my body to pump more fluids

💧 I also hydrate BEFORE my massage - You’ll be told to drink water after but coming in ALREADY hydrated, that’s a PRO move - Drink 1-2 glasses of water before you show up

🤨 Do you do any of these?

Have a tight shoulder? Tingling in your fingers? Try this simple 3 minute stretch and activation routine!

1. Start with the Shoulder floss (End Zone Referee) 4-5 times.

2. Grab a broom, mop, swiffer, or towel and place behind the back over your shoulder. Reach behind with other hand and grab towel. Now, pull down and create a straight line with your elbow and body. Hold for 20-30 seconds. Repeat for other shoulder

3. Interlock fingers behind your back, externally rotate shoulders and flip hands out so your thumbs are pointing up. Holding that position, bend over and reach your hands (still interlocking) to the sky. Hold 15-30 seconds.

4. Arms are shoulder level, straight ahead. Do 20-30 seconds of outward rotating circles with arms. Change direction and continue for 20-30 seconds. Repeat with arms to your sides, at shoulder level.

5. Enjoy the relief!
