Isegoria

Tim Ferriss talks to Outside magazine about some of the tactics, routines, and habits of billionaires, icons, and world-class performers he has learned from doing his podcast and collected in his new book, Tools of Titans — including some off-beat suggestions:

Every Athlete Needs a Vibrator
Specifically, the plug-in version of the Hitachi Magic Wand — but not for what you’re thinking (though you can do that, too). The device, when set on high, delivers the precise hertz most helpful for relaxing hypertonic (chronically tensed) muscles, at least according to the Russian medical-massage specialist who made this recommendation. Place the wand on the belly of a muscle (not where it connects to the tendons) for 20 to 30 seconds, which is often all it takes. It’s incredibly helpful for anyone constantly managing tight muscles. Pro tip: if you have a stiff upper back or neck, try the wand on the suboccipital muscles, at the base of your skull.

That item may not make it on my Amazon wish list.

I may have to try some of his other advice though.
