Under Pressure
The name of the game for the Normatec 3 is compression. Backed by science and designed by doctors, the gadget is high-tech but very simple to use: you slide your legs in, zip up, and enjoy the 7 different levels of pressure and ZoneBoost™ biomimicry. You’re getting recovery, reduced muscle soreness, better mobility, and customized treatment.
The Normatec inflates and deflates to mimic natural muscle pumps and one-way valves in your legs. This helps enhance both your circulation and lymphatic drainage, accelerating your recovery – and if you’ve suffered going up the stairs after leg day, you know that that can make a world of difference.
You can adjust where you’ve attached the device, pressure level, ZoneBoost, and time with the attached interface, but the Normatec is also Bluetooth-enabled. Through the Hyperice app, you can customize even further to make sure you’re returning to peak performance every single time you use it.
The Legs of a God
Like I mentioned earlier, I’ve been training a ton lately. And more and more, I’ve been dealing with the soreness, aching, swelling, and frustration that comes from my body’s limitations. Giving up running altogether was NOT an option. But I had to admit that continuing to train with my increasing knee pain was unsustainable. Was I wary of spending $800 on a gadget that could easily be pure hype? I was. But I had tried everything else.
So I bit the bullet, and I bought the damn thing.
And now, you can’t get me out of it. It’s like having a personal masseuse who can find your pain points immediately. I don’t need to take time off to recover anymore, and my legs feel healthy and strong. The ache in my knees I’ve had for years is nonexistent. Even my wife loves using it, if only because it feels. So. Good.
It’s incredibly easy to use, and I love the fact that I control the amount of time it takes. For particularly tough days, I’lll sit in the Normatec 3 for 60 minutes, and it’s bliss. I can recover and relax at the same time, knowing that I’ll be in peak condition to tackle my training again the next day. Plus, I’ve been able to shave minutes off my run times – so that marathon better watch out.
A Must For Athletes
Maybe you think I’m just a crazy person who spent too much money on a device. But I’m not alone; everybody is singing the Normatec 3’s praises. See below:
