To inspire you to enjoy your health and fitness journey, last weekend I filmed a new Amazon Live Stream<\/a> which shared my favorite at-home exercise equipment and tools.<\/p>\n

From a must-have foam roller (which relieves sore muscles) to helpful health supplements (that naturally boost energy), learn how these effective tools and products can help you look and feel your best. Plus, I also showed a few of my go-to exercises (for toning and strengthening), as well as foam rolling moves that alleviate tight or tense muscles.<\/p>\n

What is foam rolling?<\/h3>\n

Whenever my muscles feel tight, sore, or achy, one of the first at-home exercise tools I reach for is the foam roller<\/a>. This easy-to-use tool is especially handy when I don’t have time to book a deep tissue massage, as it helps to alleviate tightness. It’s helpful whether I’ve been working out a lot, or even just have muscle tension (due to a stressful week).<\/p>\n

As reported by Healthline<\/a>, “Not just for avid exercisers,\u00a0foam rolling\u00a0is a type of self-massage that allows you to alleviate tightness or trigger points \u2014 a\u00a0super focused spot of tight muscle, aka muscle knots \u2014 by using a piece of equipment known as a foam roller. According to Nicole Davis, ACE-certified personal trainer, it\u2019s\u00a0great for people who sit at a desk all day, has poor posture, joint issues, or bad form while exercising.”<\/p>\n

During my recent Amazon Live Stream<\/a>, I shared a few simple, yet effective, foam rolling moves that help to relieve upper and lower back tension.

Why are Epsom salt baths helpful?<\/h3>\n

As my Chiropractor (Michael Agrella, DC<\/a>) explained to me, he always encourages his clients to do regular Epsom salt baths, especially if they exercise or are athletic. Not only do Epsom salt baths help to relax sore, tight muscles, but they’re reportedly helpful in eliminating toxins from our bodies. This helps to naturally stimulate healing and restoration, especially when we’re feeling sore. He told me that it’s just as effective to do a 20-minute foot bath (using hot water and 1-2 cups of Epsom salts<\/a>).<\/p>\n
