Austin, San Marcos, TX Press Releases

(Austin.CityRegions.Com, February 17, 2016 ) Austin, TX -- It's February and gyms across the country have already started to see a predictable decline in attendance as the momentum of countless New Year's resolutions begins to lose steam.
A small and extremely dedicated portion of the population has persisted against the odds and is still making it to the gym for a quick workout before heading to the office. If these gym newbies keep it up, they will build habits that will carry them toward greater health and energy in 2016, and possibly for years to come.
There are many obstacles that make it a challenge to get the gym habit to stick for more than a few weeks. People must overcome engrained physical and mental habits. They must swim upstream against the numerous strong currents of their regular routines, including familial and work demands.
To make things even more difficult, the first miles on the road to better physical fitness are typically fraught with fatigue, muscle aches, and sometimes minor injuries as bodies adjust to the new stresses being placed on them.
With this increase in achy muscles and joints comes an increased demand for a variety of remedies, products, and services, including joint compression sleeves, NSAIDS, liniments, acupuncture, massage, and physical therapy sessions.
"Our muscle roller stick becomes very popular this time of the year," Says James Cedar, founder of Austin, Texas based company TUFF Active Gear. James notes, "We get a lot of people coming onto the Amazon marketplace looking for something to bring relief for leg cramps, tight calf muscles, and all those other weird aches and pains that pop up when you get your body moving again after the holidays."
Muscle sticks have become nearly as ubiquitous as the well-known foam roller. They look and function similar to a rolling pin—only instead of rolling over dough, the central part rolls over muscles. Many of the rollers on the market are hard plastic, and some, like James' TUFF STX Muscle Roller, have a layer of foam around the central rolling part for added comfort.
Many people include massage therapy into their overall health and fitness regimen. Muscle sticks allow a person to have a quick massage session right before a workout as a warm-up, or right after as a way to sooth overworked muscles.
James' background in massage therapy and martial arts has given him firsthand experience in the numerous benefits of getting regular massage to support one's physical activities. He says, "Massage and self-massage are great strategies for pain management and for improving the health and condition of muscles. He adds, "If you're trying to get in shape or getting back in shape I highly recommend using this simple tool. Smoothing out some of that fatigue and soreness will make it easier to motivate yourself back to the gym."
