did you even do some strenuous exercise first ?

Other than currently being in my training block for St.G 70.3 for the past month, no. But will try after tonight’s interval run.


It should not matter whether you are doing exercise. If you do a really hard and long run and it is hot humid or your are sitting in car for 12 hours then the response will be a little different for sure than say easy days, but you don't need to do strenuous exercise to see the benefit. They are made for anyone with fluid and mostly those patients don't even exercise and have issues like diabetes.

However, you should notice it gets tighter as the 15 minutes continues. Regardless, I am more of a believer in the continued use of boots. My first experience with boots was Recovery Pump (many many moons ago) and I didn't like them because there was too much pressure and that is just how the reps set them up. Then it was a few years until Normatec again and the same issues with the reps just starting on 7. I have talked to Normatec about this now, I don't know if it was just my reps but it was multiple times, different reps. It wasn't until I was able to use them without the reps setting them that I really started to see the benefit as I found what works for me.

It really was starting slow, like level 3 on Normatec (Max 7). As I used them more frequently I could tolerate higher and higher levels. My roommate went to max every night, and I would have to turn them down after she was done to use them. However it was until after months that I started to really feel the benefits and realized I was excited to get into them at the end of the day. I was having fresher legs and I found I needed less warm up to get those minor aches and pains free pre-run. Consistent use is really the benefit, unless for vanity sake you want to get those skinnier legs back the day after Ironman. But it is another tool in the recovery tool box and there are many ways to use it, and certainly many different body types as well.
