help promote relaxation<\/a> in areas that commonly experience tightness. <\/p>\n\n\n\nUsing A Massage Gun As A Warm-Up Tool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Some people like to jump rope or do jumping jacks for whole body warm-up. Many physical trainers prefer to use massage guns as warm-up tools. Many people only exercise a specific group of muscles when they workout. If this is the case, you can use a massage gun to target those specific muscles for about six to 10 minutes. The percussive nature preps the tissues for exercises, making them less prone to injury and damage. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Using A Massage Gun As A Cool-Down Tool<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Exercising causes lactic acid to build-up in muscles, which is why you feel sore post-workout. Similar to foam rolling, using a handheld massage gun on sore muscles after exercising can accelerate recovery. Repeated percussive massage to the muscles helps to decrease the ability of muscle fibers to cling to lactic acid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
What Should You Look For In A Massage Gun? <\/h2>\n\n\n\n There are so many reputable and affordable massage guns on the market nowadays. It used to be that the only ones you could get cost $500. Now, you can shop them on the Internet for $40 to $600. Ideally, purchase a massage gun that has multiple speeds and attachments. Different speeds can create a more diverse massage, while the various attachments can help you address specific areas of the body. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s also wise to look for a massage gun that is on the lighter side, preferably within the two- to four-pound range. Since you\u2019ll be holding it for nearly 10 minutes, you don\u2019t want something that weighs 10 pounds. Additionally, choose a massager that is relatively quiet, as some models sound like jigsaws. Consider a massage gun that has a brushless motor. Lastly, battery life is another factor to consider. Some massagers run for three hours, while others die after 80 minutes of use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Massage guns are an excellent investment in your overall health, specifically when it comes to performance and recovery. You won\u2019t regret buying one!<\/p>\n
