Sure as hell feels like it! My back has been spasming out of control since I cranked up the running intensity prepping for a race this weekend.
I had previously been prescribed Skelaxin for lower back spasms, but only took it after workouts. Since my back has been spasming non stop, I took it upon waking the other day, and then went out for 3 of the most effortless, enjoyable hours I’ve ever spent on my bike.
Definite performance enhancement. I was smiling as I was stomping on the pedals. The combination of no back pain, relaxed muscles and the fresh cool fall air was rockin’ good! I don’t know if I was actually faster but I sure felt better.
It does tend to make me a bit more quiet, according to Mrs. Schwingding, but other than that, that stuff really works.
No, I don’t drive motorized equipment while on it.
