Use Compression Wear for Faster Recovery!


Dear Friends,

If you are extremely tired after exercising-jogging, training for marathon, golfing, soccer, rugby, etc, try using compression wear. Many professional Athletes swear by it. If you watch English Premier League the likes of Wayne Rooney and Steven Gerard use compression wear. There are numerous brands out there for you to choose.

I am proud to say that I was one the first in my group of friends who are golfers to use a compression wear. The reason being, I am a crazy golfer who spent a lot of time, money and effort on training, equipment, golf magazines, lessons, etc. But my progress was hampered by injuries- 2 slip disc (lower and upper back), knee problem, dislocated shoulder, pulled hamstring, tennis elbow ( had to get steroid jab -3x on both elbows- 2x left elbow and 1x right and this is not recommended at all as it has consequences later on). Now, I am able to play golf and even run the half-marathon. Thanks partly to the compression wear I started using whenever I play Golf or Jog. Now, a number of friends have started using compression wear, even the "Nay-Sayers" who mocked me.

I decided that this is something that is beneficial for me and others like me who enjoy sports. I am not saying these things because I market ACE Compression wear. Please don't take my word, ask your friends who use other brands. It holds everything in place and allows you to make proper weight transfer and complete your swing.

What prompted me to write this blog posting was....last Friday I played a round of 18 hole golf using ACE Compression wear and I did not feel the effects the next day. But I went to the golf range after work last Wednesday and I did not bring my compression wear.  I felt the effects of  the range practice for the next 3 days.

What are the benefits using Compression Wear:

1)    Helps reduce chances of injury
2)    Improve performance-power & control
3)    Protects skin from Sun
4)    Improves endurance
5)    Helps post exercise recovery which enables you to train or exercise more frequently

Choose a brand of compression wear you like and enjoy your sports. Just remember, you will not become SUPERMAN by wearing the compression wear so don't over do any sports. Always, listen to your body.

You need to take care when washing the compression wear as it is made of special material and the colors may run. So you need to use very light detergent that will not damage the attire.

Have a Great Sporting Week!

Cheers,
Mark
