Motivation through Embrocation

The joy of embrocation.

Cold weather training can be a wonderful experience. The air is crisp, the trails are quiet, and the mind is focused. But it can also be hard on the body. Not only does your body have to warm up on the inside, it also has to warm up on the outside. You know that once you get over ‘the hump,’ you’ll be fine. But it’s that intimidating ‘hump’ that keeps many athletes indoors when the weather turns cold.

Frankly, they’re missing out on the fun.

If you could ‘fast forward’ through the first few minutes of your training, you would quickly reach the wonderful part of the experience.

That’s why we love Embrocation. It begins the warming process while you’re still getting dressed. Rub some into your legs, and within minutes it has begun preparing your muscles for the efforts to come. By the time you step out of the house, your muscles are already a few miles down the road.

Buy some and see for yourself.

FAQ:
How much should I use?
A little goes a long way. We recommend applying a small amount lightly for your first application, and start only on your quads or calf muscles. Everyone’s skin type and sweat rates are different so please experiment with the amounts to make it right for you.

Can I use it on my face?
No. It won’t give you the result you want and we want you to keep it away from your eyes. Extremities only.

<Is it just for me legs
No, you can use it on your lower or shoulders as well.

How hot is it?
It may get hot, but it won’t be painful. That is, if it stays on your leg muscles. On sensitive areas it’s going to be uncomfortable and painful. (Please don’t try, really. It’s not chamois cream). Avoid your eyes at all costs, and wash your hands well after applying. Another good tip: put your shorts on first.

How do I wash it off?
It’s designed to be impervious to water, which is great for wet weather. To wash off, be sure to soap up your legs with bar soap or shampoo before stepping into the shower.
