Life without Skins

If I lived in a world where no skins / compression tights exist…

To recover from a hard session or race, I would stand/sit in a ice cold bath, put my legs up against the wall and lie back, to aid the blood recovery and removal of lactic acid in my legs… or maybe I wouldn’t, because a ice bath sounds painful and a I’d get bored lying back with legs up.

My legs would be aching, and I wouldn’t have had that brilliant feeling I had this morning, where I put my skins on and the developing aches in my legs rapidly disappeared. Tomorrow I would wake up and have trouble moving.

I wouldn’t stand at the start line and mock people who are about to race in fall tight skins, because as far as I can determine there’s no advantage (yes I am a contradictory soul, if you read further). Though, I wouldn’t have considered buying some socks to see if they are an advantage. I wouldn’t mock people who are wearing skins, but they are way to big for them, and obviously don’t understand what they do and are just wearing them because they are the latest fad. I wouldn’t sit at prize giving and look on in amazement as these baby children come up on stage wearing skins, and they only ran 2K. Parents with too much money?? I shouldn’t judge should I.

I wouldn’t have been mocked by people who don’t understand, about how sexy I look with my skins under my shorts, when I had a rather hard session that morning, and they are the only thing that is allowing me to still be moving.

Words like bi-accelaration technology wouldn’t have been thrown in to my head dictionary. And I wouldn’t have been marketed a producted that has been bascially around for ages in the medical fraternity. Or perhaps I would just buy 2 pairs of stocking and cut the feet of them and they would have the same effect.

But thankfully, in this world the wonderful skins do exist. I sit here typing with may legs loving wrapped in this wonderful garment. My legs have been wrapped in this garment for several hours, and they are barely registering any discomfit from the side effects of there work this morning. Some say that there’s no proof that they work, and the only benefit they have is in my mind, well if that’s there only benefit, than I will gladly use it.

I live in peace knowing that the garments I use contain technology, such as bio-acceleration. There’s even a excellent flash video on their website to prove that this bio-acceleration technology works better than that of other compression garments. I feel glad, that I have purchased the garment that out does any of it fellow rivals (because they say so).

I love my skins!

disclaimer: no offense is intended to anyone. I mock myself more than I mock others. If you can’t laugh at being suckered into a well built marketing campaign(though I am not saying that the marketing is not fully justified), then go away, and don’t return!
