My Secret Weapon - Part 2

Several weeks ago I wrote about the little secret weapon I had discovered called Biofreeze.  If you haven't read it yet, you can read about it here, My Secret Weapon.  Yes, I have discovered another one.  Now why do I even need these "weapons"?  I feel young.  I certainly still look young (depending on who you ask - anyone over 35 would agree, wink wink) and I certainly have ways to go before I mature (according to my wife).  But as I reluctantly admit these aforementioned traits of mine, with age, my body just takes a bit longer to recover than when I was in my twenties.

Let me begin with a little background.  As I wrote on the first My Secret Weapon post, I'm an avid (wannabe) cyclist.  I hate going to the gym, so it's a great way to try and stay fit.  And more importantly, it sure is easier to pass those hipster kids in their twenties on those Huffies than trying to out lift them at the gym... and still look damn good doing so.  [Sidebar - women just love men in tights.  It's a cycling must].  But just like love, I was in miserable pain every time I spent time with my lady (my bike, Specialized Tarmac).  Oh it hurt so bad... my knees mostly, among other things.  As much as I loved spending time with her, I was deeply searching for excuses to end it.  Until I discovered, Copper Fit!

Ok.  We're all skeptical of infomercials, right?  As I am.  I first remember seeing an infomercial on this thinking, who is stupid enough to fall for this and I quickly switched the TV channel.  But then on my recent business trip to Chicago, I was flipping through one of those inflight magazines and what did I see?  Yep, Copper Fit.  It was fate!  This time, Brett Favre was promptly featured promoting the copper sleeves by Copper Fit.  That's right, Brett Favre, the legendary NFL superstar.  So my rationale was, if it's good enough for Brett, it doesn't hurt to try it.  If it didn't work, at least it'll go to support poor Brett Favre.  It's like I needed yet another reason to be pulled into this love that hurt so much.  We all do that to ourselves, why?... because... there just could be that happily ever after.  And that is exactly what I got.  I actually could not believe it, still.  I've been sporting the knee sleeves ever since. 

Product - Copper Fit is basically a compression sleeve with copper at the fiber level.  According to the product site, getcopperfit.com the product features and benefits are:

- Provide support for muscle stiffness, soreness, and pain
- Help to reduce recovery time of muscles
- Support improved circulation and oxygenation of working muscles
- Help prevent strain and fatigue by keeping muscles warm
- Wick sweat away from the body to prevent chafing and rashes

Prior to discovering Copper Fit knee sleeves, I could barely walk post ride and I would spend the next three days limping like an old fart.  Now?... I pass those twenty something kids with no pain and all style.  Part of me is still skeptical.  Is it really the Copper Fit knee sleeve?  It can't be.  But objectively, that is the only change, I've made to my riding.  So it must be.  Technically, I can skip the sleeves for one ride, but why mess with the perfect love?  True love is about seeing past those imperfections!

You read it here,!  If you're an old fart, suffering from knee, elbow, joint, or muscle pain, try Copper Fit.  If you're skeptical about Brett Favre, we don't blame you.  He's probably getting millions to just throw a few footballs around while wearing Copper Fit... BUT, ManPossible doesn't get a single dime from Copper Fit, writing about this.  So why not give it a try.... and look damn good doing it (without pain) and show all those twenty something millennials who's the BOSS.
