One can be carried like a backpack (yes, really!), and the other is pedal-powered rather than powered by paddles. Pretty cool, huh?

Self Massager Products We’re Digging

If my muscles were hurting, I figured I could just ice ’em, heat ’em, stretch ’em out, and I’d be fine. That approach worked okay when I was a teenager, but became less and less effective as I got older. These days, in order to keep things from…The post Self Massager...
