Dara Torres, the fastest female swimmer and the first American swimmer to compete in five Olympic Games, has won a total of 12 Olympic medals. In 2008 and as a new mother at 41, Dara captured the hearts and minds of people of all ages in her comeback earning a silver medal in 2008 and continues her plans to compete in 2012 for her 6th Olympic Games. Talk about girl power!
Dara has created a few lifestyle tips to help encourage and inspire active moms like you! She uses BENGAY® Cold Therapy too! This is what Dara says:
- My ultimate secret to success: I’m often asked what my secret is to maintaining a rigorous training routine and my answer always seems to surprise people – recovery. Being older than most athletes doesn’t mean I have to train harder, but smarter. How do you do this? Conserve your energy. Make the most of your workout and then, let your body rest, disengage your mind and simply relax. It’s also a great excuse to see the latest movie or catch-up on your favorite reality shows.
Be a champion of movement: Age may just be a number, but pain isn’t. While it is important to push yourself in your fitness routine and everyday life, it is just as important to treat pain properly and appropriately. Rest and stretching are great ways to combat muscle aches. However, when rest isn’t enough, try BENGAY® Cold Therapy, which provides a blast of cold and deep, penetrating relief, or BENGAY® Pain Relief + Massage, which contains unique applicator nubs to target pain directly. Both products will help you go about your day and live life without compromise.
I think therefore I can: Your home is a sanctuary, but it can also be a gym. When squeezing in a workout seems impossible, think again. A favorite trick I share with my fans – use canned vegetables to add extra oomph to arm curls and overhead extensions or, while watching your favorite TV show, challenge yourself to do push-ups, sit-ups and squats during commercials.
“As an Olympic athlete, and a mom to a five year-old girl, I maintain quite a rigorous schedule, one that allows little room for the interruption of muscle aches and pains,” said Torres. “Because I understand the importance of living pain-free, partnering with the BENGAY® Brand, which delivers a product portfolio I trust and respect, was a natural fit. I am honored to assist in the launch of BENGAY® Cold Therapy, a product that truly helps me not just in my workouts and training, but in everyday life when running around and playing with my daughter.”
Made with PRO-COOL™ technology, BENGAY® Cold Therapy contains a scientifically created formula that combines the pain relieving power of menthol with the cooling benefits of alcohol to alleviate the minor aches and pains associated with muscle strain, arthritis, backache, bruises and sprains. How does it work? BENGAY® Cold Therapy delivers a blast of cold as the menthol and alcohol in the unique formula evaporates, providing a cooling sensation and allowing you to give pain the cold shoulder!
BENGAY® Cold Therapy:
Provides a fast-acting blast of cold and deep penetrating, long-lasting relief
Only brand to use PRO-COOL™ technology
A vanishing scent that starts to disappear in minutes, making it preferable for daytime use.
Same technology used by chiropractors and physical therapists
Available at food, drug and mass retailers nationwide.
My husband is remodeling our house and constantly has sore muscles. He also swears our mattress is horrific and is hurting his back. He is a faithful user of BENGAY® Cold Therapy. Since I am the one applying it to his back I can assure you that it is true that the scent does vanish, and indeed does get colder the longer it is on!! He says it works great, and has me put it on his sore back all of the time!!!
Thank you to BENGAY® Cold Therapy for my sample used in this review. My opinions are my own and honest.
