Invented by renowned physical therapist Jay Dicharry,&nbsp;<a href="https://www.moboboard.com/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">MOBO</a>&nbsp;helps you stabilize your stance with an innovative rocker board that's set up on two fins. The design effectively forces you to drive your big toe into the board to improve your stability. I was pretty arrogant going into my first session on the MOBO Board. How hard can it be to balance, right? Well, I was humbled pretty quickly! Even if you're a good runner, better balance, stability, and proprioception is going to help you have a more powerful stride and prevent more running injuries. You'll learn how to improve the efficiency of the kinetic chain from your hip to your big toe. Because as Jay likes to say, it's not just how strong you are, but how well you use that strength. I was recently at a weekend physical therapy workshop (lol I was the only running coach) and learned how important (and rare) this simple movement is.

Thank you Gut & Green! Previnex's new&nbsp;<a href= "https://www.previnex.com/?rfsn=8422658.5f31250" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gut & Green Superfoods</a>&nbsp;powder is my new go-to. It has organic barley and oat grass, alfalfa, spirulina, chlorella, kale and broccoli… and that's it. Their ingredients are backed by clinical data and contain three specific gut fibers that help promote GI health, digestion, reduced inflammation, and a better microbiome. And it has twice of the fiber of my last greens mix - something I'm trying to work on. I don't always eat as many whole foods as I should, so G&G gives me more peace of Mind. Plus, the flavor actually tastes good. I don't have to choke it down so I enjoy drinking it! Try it for yourself&nbsp;<a href= "https://www.previnex.com/?rfsn=8422658.5f31250" target="_blank" rel="noopener">here at previnex.com</a> and be sure to use code "JASONGREENS" to save 15% off your first order. Don't tell anyone, but if you put Gut & Green Superfoods powder in your cart, then the 15% off discount will work for anything else you add into your cart as well. Thanks Gut & Green!
