It’s Friday night and I can barely lift my arms with out pain.  I spent two hours in a Just for Kicks conditioning class two nights ago.  You know how they say the 2nd day is the worst.  Well the first day wasn’t that great and I got a feeling tomorrow ain’t gonna be any better.

I’m not worried though because I have a giant pump of Topricin that graces my nightstand on a permanent basis.  I apply it morning and night after putting my body through the ringer.  Because it’s all natural I don’t have to worry about od’ing on it.  It can be used as often as I need.  And that need is often!

For Just About Any Injury

I am an avid Snowboarder, into Weight Training and I’ve been doing Roller Derby going into my fifth season now.  Roller Derby is how I became introduced to Topricin.  I am the Sponsorship Coordinator for the Hudson Valley Horrors Roller Derby League.  Topricin is now one of our biggest sponsors and boy are the Horrors and myself happy.  One could say I’ve suffered a few bumps and bruises in my last 4 years of derby.  Hell, the last 40 years of my life.  Bruised ribs, pulled hamstring, sprained thumb, sprained ankle, bruised shins, sprained pinky, whiplash and pulled groin just to name a few.  Not to mention countless incidents involving rink rash, skate bite, severe bruising and general muscle soreness.

Topricin has been by my side through all of this and more.  It’s like my Mother.  It genuinely cares about me and wants me to feel better.  Like how Mom would bring you Chicken Soup when you had a cold.  Topricin’s only desire is to take my pain, bruising and scrapes away and make me OK.  Sounds like a Mom right?

Topricin foot has found a special place in my heart too.  I use it before AND after skating.  It helps keep the foot issues from skating to a minimum.  I’ve used many other types of products but found they had a bad chemical smell, burned, could only be used a certain amount of times a day, left my skin greasy and/or smelly and sometimes didn’t even work.  With Topricin there is no smell, the amount of times I can use it in a day is unlimited and it goes on smooth and soaks right in.

Topricin Really Works

And the best part of all is that it really works.  It helps make swelling go down, helps to heal up bruising faster, helps with joint and muscle pain.  No matter how much abuse (FUN) I put myself and my body through I always know Topricin will take care of me.  Just like Mom!

The Horrors just got back from a mixed martial arts conditioning class with Master Robert Blum at Just For Kicks Martial Arts in Fishkill.  Master Blum holds workshops for us throughout the season and they always prove to be extremely challenging (especially in the off-season).  This one certainly kicked butt and I can tell you why I know that…

• Several of us almost puked during the class and one of us actually did
• The pain kicked in almost immediately after the class (usually it waits until the morning)
• I am so wired from the class (that ended an hour ago) that I am up writing a blog post

The class lasted about two hours and consisted of LOTS of push-ups of varying kinds, ab work, squats, lunges, jumps, etc. (each section ending with the hardest type).  We then moved into cardio and interval training and punch and kick intervals.  The class ended with us pushing the 350 lb. punching bags back and forth across the room.  Can anyone say jello arms and legs!

While we were there we picked up a copy of, “Coaching Children to Succeed in Life: The 11 Surefire Secrets of the Martial Arts Masters for Building Unshakable Self-Confidence, Rock Solid Self-Esteem and Laser Sharp Focus in Children”.  Master Blum is a contributing author and talks about developing character and learning the educational value of Martial Arts.  The coaches are very much looking forward to diving into this book, and it couldn’t come at a better time with our Junior League starting back up again in February.

We are never disappointed by Master Blum’s classes and highly recommend them to anyone looking to get themselves or their kiddies in shape, learn discipline and have fun while doing it.  As for me, I am going to waddled off to my bed and very carefully bend my knees to get in it.
