Face it! We are all getting older and I seriously wonder where some of these aches and pains come from. Sure when I am working out consistency and eating right the pains are less, but wow lately I have been feeling a bit stiff! Could be the weather, but it could be the simple truth that I am just getting old!
Years ago I had a lot of strange pain issues… it turns out it was an allergy to sulfites… pretty crazy right. It was also because I was not in the best shape and I would workout and be active like crazy for a few weeks then do noting for a few months.
Going hard core after doing nothing for awhile is going to get your sore and achy for sure, that is why I always try to preach consistency and moderation here. Anyways…. back then I had tried a product called Flexcin. It was a joint relief type product which had simliar ingredients like most on the market but it had CM8 which nothing else had.
Long story short after about 3 weeks of using it I did feel a lot better! At that time I was changing my diet and working out more consistently and my aches and pains did not go away forever, but they did lesson.
I would still take it for a week or two at a time over the years when I was feeling really banged up.
Recently they launched a new product called Flexicus which is geared towards more extreme athletes and body builders. They are even sponsoring the Arnold Classic that is coming up soon. Wish I could be there!
I decided to grab Flexicus and give it a shot, that was about 5 or 6 weeks ago. I can say this… I have def felt more limber in the morning getting out of bed. I swear sometimes when I wake up I am so tight and achy.. not sure why, but it has helped.
I have just started lifting hard again by using Body Beast and I feel like Flexicus is really helping, plus if you live in New Jersey then you know all the snow we have been getting! Talk about achyness from shoveling, snow-blowing etc.. in the cold! agh!! Anyways I think you get the point.
All I can say is if you have been having some joint pain, or inflammation issues give it a shot! They have a no questions asked full refund policy so the only thing you have to lose is the pain… 😉 I know that sounded corny.

Hey welcome to The Fit Dads!
My name is Chris Azzari and I started the fit dads with Ken & Mike to keep us accountable and in shape! There is nothing better then having a group of friends keeping each other accountable. Our goal is to help other dads either get in shape or stay in shape. We all know we want to keep up with our kids ;-)
Anyways you can read more about The Fit Dads here....
A little about me...
- I am a 34 year old father of two boys. Maxwell "3" & Westin "9 months". My wife Stefanie is a stay at home mom and keeps busy running those two rug rats around ;-) She also stays in shape by working out.
- I have always been an active guy. In high school I played sports all year long, ate whatever I wanted and had tons of energy. Of course as I got older, went to college that all started to slack. I always made sure I was somewhat active and would hit the gym here and there, but my diet was horrible as most college guys are. At 6'3" I was always able to carry an extra few pounds and still look OK, but feeling OK was a different story.
It all changed...
- Up until 2010... actually wait let me rewind for a second here. Back in 2001 I actually tried my first Beach Body program which was called Power 90 "it was on VHS ;-)". This was the prequel to the famed P90X. I did not know much about BeachBody or Tony Horton back then. All I knew was I did this workout for about a month and I felt great! The spring was back in my step and I was feeling good. Of course I slacked...
Gym Limbo
- For the next 9 years I would be in "Gym Limbo"... you know aimlessly walking around the gym and not really having a plan or actually following through. Barely even breaking a sweat sometimes. Of course it was better then nothing, but I was never really getting the results I wanted. At one point I was 252 pounds, the most I have ever weighed. Nowadays I am usually around 220-225.
- OK back to 2010... I saw the Insanity commercials and said hey I remember the Power 90 workout and this looks way more intense. My first son was just born and it was hard to find time to get to the gym let alone workout, so I figured this will save me time and money. I decided to take the challenge. All I could say was wow! I was getting the workout of my life. I was so sore the first few weeks, but I felt great.
