Freak Tape Kinesiology Tape


Full Disclosure: I received products free of charge for the purpose of providing a review. My opinions are completely my own based on my experience.

As you know, this year I'm including more trail running and strength training into my routine (#TuesdayTidbit - Trail Running Tips for Beginners) and I'm finding that my ankles aren't as strong as I thought they were.  My trainer is really helping me with strength building, but I'm finding that I could use a little extra support (especially when I'm on the trail).

I had the opportunity to try Freak Tape Kinesiology tape.



I need to watch some more "how-to" videos on different ways to wrap, but right now this is one that works best for me. It's simple and quick. 


My thoughts? It was easy to apply, stayed on very well, and seemed to have a lot of 'stretch' to it when I applied it. I had to make sure that I didn't pull too hard and  get too much tension. So I think I will be able to use less of this tape compared to others. I usually try not to have any lotion on when I apply it, but I forgot and put lotion on earlier that morning. I didn't think the Freak Tape Kinesio tape would stick, but to my surprise it did. And it stayed on without any issues (now keep in mine that I had socks on over it). 

But overall, I feel that the Freak Tape Kinesiology tape helps provide some stability while I'm out on the trail, or when doing activities that require a little more stability. If you are in the market for some kinesio tape, or you've never tried tape before, I encourage you to check out Freak Tape.

    Glad you like it! It was a year ago at this time my daughter sprained her ankle and was all taped up for her track sectionals. I watched many of those taping videos!

    Thank you for this article! Home remedies are effective only in order to give you a TEMPORARY relief. 
    If you don't know what is going on with your pain in shins, you can't defeat it.

Pinrose Petal Pack Review and Giveaway - 10 Winners!

Bear with me, I know this blog is mainly about fitness, nutrition, and occasionally about being a stay-at-home mom, but I got the chance to review what I think is a pretty cool product and I wanted to share it with you. I'm not one to usually wear perfume. I have allergies, and I'm super sensitive to smells. So usually I just bypass perfume. But when I heard about Pinrose , I was intrigued. Being someone who is constantly in motion, and I know that many of you are the same way, I found this product to be very useful.  I'm talking about Pinrose, and their fragrances are in petal packs. They are perfect on-the-go packs. And on their website they have a  synesthesia   test where you basically look at a series of images and they conclude from that test what they think would be your best fragrances. I found the test very interesting. However, you were supposed to go with your gut and not think too long. On one of the images I actually changed my mind and changed...

Self Care Is Not Selfish It's Necessary

It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. And I'll say it just one more time in case you didn't hear me. It's not selfish to take care of yourself. I have found through experience that when I'm not taking care of myself, not only do I suffer but my family suffers. So ditch the mom guilt and take the time that you need! I have a tendency to keep pushing my needs aside until I reach a breaking point. We've had a very busy fun summer so far. However, I've struggled to get some quality ' me ' time to decompress. I'll spare you the meltdown that ensued. But the reality check that followed prompted me to take action.

Jogging Strollers Freedom And Fresh Air

Full Disclosure: I have partnered with Thule to #giveaway a Thule jogging stroller, but I have not been compensated in any form.  I remember when Lil Man was a baby. My only time to get in a workout was before Hubby went to work. Which meant I had to run at 5am or 6am after being up most of the night with Lil Man. You guessed it, those early morning runs just didn't happen most days. I tried. I really did, but I was exhausted. Yes, I have a treadmill which helped. But it didn't give me the freedom ( or the fresh air ) that my jogging stroller did. Pushing the stroller was hard. It became a challenge that I looked forward to overcoming. And on those days that running just wasn't going to happen, walking could. So I did. I could take Lil Man out at any time and get some exercise and fresh air. Sometimes it was all we needed to change both of our moods.
