In recent years recovery has become a sports and fitness buzzword. Anyone who works out or competes at any level is bombarded with the latest recovery products and services: from drinks and shakes to compression sleeves, foam rollers, electrical muscle stimulators, and sleep trackers.

In Good to Go, acclaimed FiveThirtyEight science writer Christie Aschwanden takes readers on an entertaining and enlightening tour through this strange world. She investigates whether drinking Gatorade or beer after training helps or hinders performance; she examines the latest trends among athletes, from NFL star Tom Brady's infrared pajamas to gymnast Simone Biles' pneumatic compression boots to swimmer Michael Phelps's "cupping" ritual; and she tests some of the most controversial methods herself, including cryochambers, float tanks, and infrared saunas.

At a time when the latest recovery products and services promise so much, Good to Go seeks answers to the fundamental question: Do any of them actually help the body recover and achieve peak performance?

Great value & quality
My pups love these! These are super hard to find in the store, especially in a two pack and this size. My little Shitzu has had one since she was tiny and it is kind of an emotional support thing for her and when she lost it she was so sad that it was awful. I searched every where, every store around us for the little ones like this and could not find one. So when I seen this package and with two, for this price, I jumped on it! Now I have an extra one to put up just in case she loses one. You cannot go wrong with Hertz toys for your furbabies.
