Hello exercising and trail loving friends! ✨ Training, hiking, and long workdays all take a toll on the bod, so recovery has become just as important to me as the workouts themselves. The right tools make a huge difference in keeping muscles loose, joints supported, and energy balanced. Today I’m sharing some of my favorite Amazon finds that I actually use to help my body recover and recharge. These are tried and true little helpers that make it possible to keep showing up, whether that’s on the trail, in the gym, or just moving through daily life. Legooo! 👇
Amazon Recovery Favorites
After years of tightness in my arch that I just kind of… lived with, my trainer finally handed me this weird spiky ball and told me to stand on it. Turns out, he was onto something. It’s helped me loosen up tension I didn’t even realize I was clenching, especially after long hikes or workouts. Relaxing into it (instead of wincing and holding your breath) has actually helped me connect to my body more. It’s not magic, but it kind of feels like it.
Since I was already on the Naboso train, I figured I’d give these a shot too. The second I put them on, I realized just how wrecked my pinky toes were—totally squished from years of shoes doing their thing. It reminded me of a boat tour in Kauai, when I noticed the captain’s feet were stretched out and grounded, probably because he’s barefoot all the time. Imagine how much more strength and balance we’d have if we actually used the full platform of the feet we were given. These help you start doing exactly that.
3. ProsourceFit Tri-Fold Exercise Mat
We originally got this to match another mat for training BJJ at home. It didn’t line up quite right, but it ended up becoming our go-to for stretching, mobility, and home workouts. It’s big enough to move through multiple exercises without feeling cramped, but small enough to tuck into tight spaces. Plus, your knees will thank you—because the floor alone is not it.
4. 3-Zone Textured Foam Roller
We’ve had this thing for nine years. Not even joking. The outer layer disappeared at some point, but we still use the inner core constantly to roll out our backs, legs, and glutes after tough workouts or long hikes. It’s lightweight, sturdy, and gets into the deep spots without being brutal. Safe to say we’ve gotten our money’s worth on this one. Solid Amazon win.
5. FIVE S Shiatsu Neck and Back Massager with Heat
We finally broke down and got one of these after not being able to squeeze in a real massage thanks to chaotic schedules and, well, life. I didn’t expect much, but it’s been kind of magical. The arm loops let you adjust the pressure and position so it hits that one stubborn knot every time. We use it on our necks, backs, and even legs sometimes. Total lifesaver when you can’t get in for the real deal.
6. Fittest Pro Resistance Bands (Fabric Loop Set)
We got these during COVID to keep up with banded workouts at home, and they’ve totally held up. They don’t roll up like the cheap ones, and we’ve even used the lighter ones for stretching and mobility work. Bonus: they come with a little carry bag so you can toss them in your travel setup if you’re on the go. But, I’ve got even better travel-friendly recs coming soon, so stay tuned. 😉
7. Theragun Relief Percussion Massage Gun
I love how neutral and compact this one is—doesn’t scream “gym bro” and doesn’t take up a ton of space. It’s perfect for when the other recovery tools just aren’t cutting it. I’m a total level 1 kind of person, but the hubs goes straight to level 3 like he’s trying to jackhammer a knot into submission 😂. Handy to keep around for everyday tension or post-workout recovery.
Don’t let this tiny bar fool you—it’s brutal on tight IT bands but so easy to travel with. I use it on calves and hamstrings when I don’t have time to pull out the foam roller. Lightweight, simple, and it even comes in a few color options, which is always a win. One of those small-but-mighty recovery tools that earns its spot in the bag.
Another small but mighty tool that’s stuck around for years. We only have one left now, but when nothing else can reach that one impossible knot, this is what we grab. It’s great for deeper pressure and larger surface areas when a foam roller just isn’t hitting right. Super solid for yoga recovery or anytime you need to dig in and release tension.
10. Trigger Point Massage Cane
This tool has been a game changer for reaching those stubborn knots you can’t get to with anything else. While other tools might be better for legs or smaller muscles, this one’s perfect for hitting those mid-back or shoulder blade areas that always act up after a long workday. We keep it nearby at all times.
