Don’t Let a Roadblock Ruin Your Fitness Plan

by Robb Shaffer

Exercise—some of us can’t live without it; some of us dread it. But we all need it. To stay healthy, it’s recommended you at least participate in moderate exercise that equals 150 minutes per week. Staying motivated to exercise may be easy for you, but it really depends on your interests. You might enjoy walking, jogging, biking, or swimming. Maybe you’ve decided to move beyond the moderate exercise level, or maybe you take on activities that are even more strenuous, like rock climbing, skiing or weight training. Whatever you do, it’s important to choose your activity carefully and to exercise with caution.

When you exercise at higher levels of activity or intensity, you might experience stiffness and soreness resulting from occasional overexertion. This can also happen when you take on a new activity or routine. Even if it’s just working around the house, we all overdo it sometimes. But relief of pain from occasional overuse is available with dietary supplements.

FlexAgility™† MAX is a dietary supplement that contains powerful antioxidants, including vitamin C, green tea leaf extract and European elderberry.† These antioxidants prevent and eliminate the free radicals that cause pain and stiffness from occasional overuse. FlexAgility™ MAX also features hops flower extract, ginger rhizome extract, and Boswellia serrata gum extract in a proprietary Flex Blend. So, if a workout works you over, this blend of enzymes can help by inhibiting the pain and inflammation that may result from occasional overexertion.

You may have read about the antioxidant benefits of turmeric recently. It’s a key ingredient in Curazyme™ dietary supplement. Turmeric has a long history of use as both a food ingredient and health-supportive agent.† It’s known to reduce occasional muscle pain by supporting the body’s natural anti-inflammatory response.† Curazyme also contains bromelain, an enzyme from pineapple that has been shown to block compounds involved in the body’s inflammatory response. These ingredients work alongside pancreatic enzymes and vitamins to assist in exercise recovery.

Mega-Zyme®, with digestive and systemic enzymes is a supplement with dual benefits. The enzymes in this formula support digestion by easing occasional heartburn, indigestion, upset stomach, and constipation. But they also work with your body to relieve occasional muscle pain, fatigue, and stiffness associated with exercise and overuse.

Consult with your doctor prior to taking on a new fitness plan. Maintain your health with regular exercise, and do it carefully. When pain from occasional overexertion takes the joy out of the activity, you can turn to natural supplements for relief.
