Spring is such a great time, who can agree?! The air is fresh and the promise of summer is just around the corner. Everyone is making plans, cleaning up the yard and dusting off over-wintered gear, and getting ready to dive into warm weather sports that might seem gentle, but actually require quite a bit of grit and hard work. And, with that hard work comes a proper recovery plan in which Tiger Tail USA can help with.

Here are some tools to use before and after to keep you riding the waves all season long:
Don’t wait too long to get out there – your wave is waiting for ya!
Much like surfing, kayaking is going to be hard on your back, neck, arms and shoulders. Even in calm water, you are still getting serious resistance training!

Here are some tools that will help ensure you are ready to get back out there:

Here are some tools to help you prepare to be on the course back to back days:
Disc Golf became popular in the late 90’s and early 2000’s and is still going strong! Along with hacky sack circles, this game is so fun and mellow…until….you tweak your shoulder or continually overthrow your frisbee. Seems innocent enough, but after a session of Disc Golf, you’re gonna want a little shoulder relief.
Here are a couple tools to help you wind down:
The truth is, fun runs are not always fun – especially if you do one without any training! The most common is the 5K that your friend probably talked you into for a community benefit or fundraiser…and we never feel the need to train for them. However, trying to run 3.5 miles without any building up to one can be tough (no one’s judging, it’s for charity).
Here are some tools you can use to make it a little easier on yourself (and your knees!):
