Think SportLegs is only for competitive sports? Think again. In hiking, you’re not just competing against distance, climbs and descents which are equally hard on legs. You’re also balancing your pace and your energy reserves for a sustainable pace, yet keeping enough energy in reserve to compete with unexpected wrong turns, accidents or inclement weather. Your experience, your security and peace of mind are the prizes at stake. Prepare accordingly!
Review: What SportLegs does. SportLegs prepares your muscles to work better, longer by helping regulate muscle fuel. Muscles interpret the beginning of exercise as an attack. They immediately make more lactate fuel than you actually need for endurance. Excess lactate degrades into painful lactic acid, sabotaging your performance and wasting potential endurance fuel. The latest isotope tracer research reveals blood lactate concentration controls net lactate production. Taking SportLegs a half-hour before exercise raises blood lactate just enough, just in time to prevent the excess lactate that forms lactic acid. You get to perform with less burn and soreness, just as if you trained an extra month. Plus you’ve conserved muscle fuel for extra endurance.
Hiking is a strategy sport. What do you bring, and what do you leave behind? What provides the most likely benefit, for the least weight? SportLegs might be your top pick. What are the benefits it offers hikers?
Legs that don’t complain. SportLegs boosts Lactate Threshold “burn” point like an extra month of training. Your legs will be way less likely to complain on climbs. And your quads will burn less on descents. Nothing wrecks a lovely hike more than complaining legs. Legs that perform without complaint, like you were a decade younger, are a hiker’s dream.
Lighter-feeling legs. Every step takes extra effort when your legs are weighed down by painful lactic acid. Plus lighter-feeling legs make it easier for you to place your feet well on rough terrain, reducing your risk of a stumble or fall.
Extra endurance. Endurance helps you maintain a happy mood with your fellow hikers and enjoy the experience. It helps you navigate more mindfully, reducing the odds of getting lost. Endurance helps you keep alert at the end of the hike, when nearly-home stumbles are most common. And a little extra endurance in the tank if things don’t go as planned could literally make the difference between life and death.
Easier recovery. SportLegs was first welcomed by big-mountain skiers, for consecutive-day adventures. They raved about how they weren’t in agony the following morning as usual. Imagine not having your legs remind you of Sunday’s strenuous hike on Monday morning!
Feather weight. You’ll take your first dose of SportLegs, 1 capsule per 50 lbs. body weight, a half-hour before starting your hike. After that, re-dose with the same dose every 2 hours. A sandwich bag with 6 or 7 grams of SportLegs capsules can make the difference between a delightful memory and a painful slog.
