Using the Moji Mini PRO to soothe my aching muscles (plus a giveaway!)
Last fall, I received a Moji Mini (it’s now called the Mini PRO) to try out. It was part of our runner’s gift guide, but we didn’t give one away at that time. I hadn’t had a chance to really use it. (It’s hard to run when you have bronchitis.)
I’ve had time to run. I’ve also had time to be sore. In fact, I’ve been carrying my Moji around in my purse or gym back for months.
I’ve been working out with a personal trainer since late January. I’ve been running since early January and I’m training for a couple of half marathons. My muscles are beat – especially after lifting weights. My Moji Mini PRO is a small massager that helps massage my aching muscles, thus leading to less soreness. Faster recovery.
This little tool isn’t just for runners or other athletes. It’s great for every day use. Sometimes my husband makes me massage his back with it. And it’s SO easy to use! You just slide it on your hand and the metal balls do their job.
The strap that goes across your hand is adjustable, and it is literally the size of my hand – so small, yet so effective!
Need more instructions on how to use it? From their site:
Slide the Mini PRO Massager onto your hand, with the massage spheres on your palm side. Position massage spheres on sore muscles and roll!
Neck & Shoulders: Pinpoint your massage by pushing your fingertips into the top sphere, called the “Target Sphere” and apply pressure while rolling.
For Deepest Massage: For the most intensity, use the heel of your palm against the bottom “Intensity” sphere and apply pressure onto your calves, shins, IT Bands, or PSOAS.
Now…I get to give one away! Just enter the Rafflecopter widget below (and note that this giveaway is going to last TWO WEEKS!)

What makes you the most sore? Working out or just daily life? I traveled last week and I felt like I’d run into a wall. Traveling takes everything out of me!
I received a Moji Mini PRO to try out myself. No other compensation has been exchanged and all opinions are my own.
This looks awesome! I entered the giveaway! ^_^
running and yoga.
running is a huge stress reliever for me!
I exercise and spend time playing with my fur babies to relieve stress.
Driving is exhausting for me.
I also seem sore right now from running. I think it is time to do more yoga!
Oooh, I want one! I do martial arts and I am always sore – especially after sparring. I need this 🙂
as you know, i just started working out again and holy crap do my muscles hurt! this would be great to use when i continue to push myself!
That’s kind of cool. I bet my husband would really like it. I’m going to enter, thanks for hosting.
To answer the question, I fight stress by taking a nap. And an aspirin, lol if the stress has reached headache point.
My husband is REALLY into Crossfit, but that means he is sore after most of his workouts. While I was rubbing his shoulders and back for him last night, I was just thinking it would be nice to have a massager for him to use. This would be perfect!
This sounds terrific. I could really use this right now. We have been moving the last few days and I am so sore.
Oh, that looks nice. This would be the perfect thing for me after a long day at work.
This mini massager looks great. I love that its small enough to fit in your purse.
That looks like a pretty great thing to carry around at all times. There’s nothing like a massage to relieve sore muscle pain.
This sounds amazing. I have some muscles that get sore pretty easily, so I would love to be able to massage them myself.
Traveling can definitely do it to me as well. I also just thing really stressful weeks make it so much worse! It always shows up in my neck and shoulders.
Looks nice, I prefer the items where I can just relax and don’t have to use my hand, but maybe I can get my hubby to help me LOL!
Hip Hop Dance! We do so many lower back and leg exercises, I hurt for days afterwards! This would be perfect to help sooth them!
I never tried one of these but somehow my kids have tried them when they were waiting for me in the running store.
Whoa, I want one!
I’m always having muscle aches in my back and neck. This would be the perfect thing for me after sitting on the computer for long periods.
Such a nifty little device, and great for travel! Now to convince my husband to use it on my back
I like a nice bubble bath. This looks like a great stress buster.
I fight stress by doing yoga.
I’ve been doing kettlebell workouts lately and they have certainly left me sore. I love how small the Moji Mini Pro is. I’d carry it with me everywhere.
I’ve not tried kettlebell workouts (I need to, though.) The weights that I DO work out with keep me pretty sore – and thus are giving my Moji a workout. 🙂
This looks like it would be SO nice! Would love to try it out, especially after a hard days work or exercise!
It seems like everything makes me sore these days. I’d like this for my shoulders.
What a great product. I’m getting back to workout mode now that I have spent 2 weeks adjusting my diet and just really focusing on one thing at a time.
The first couple of weeks of working out can be rough! Great job focusing on one thing at a time!!
I so agree, traveling zaps me sometimes! This looks great to drop in the suitcase and use after a warm shower. Thanks for the review. I had never heard of this.
It’s perfect for a suitcase (or your purse or gym bag….)
I fight stress with prayer and meditation.
This looks like a little slice of heaven. That I would need to hide from the kids and keep it all to myself. Totally entering and want one!
Lucas found mine and has been playing with it. I stole it back when he went to bed tonight. 😉
Ooooo, my BF could use one of these. I will have to get hi one for his back aches
That looks like a great massager. I would totally use that.
I could so use a massage right now. What a great giveaway.
Daily life makes me sore. Slipped and herniated discs give constant back pain. This looks like a great little gadget to help relieve those pains.
that looks perfect for my shoulders after a long day at the office. I could do this all by myself too
I so need this after working out. Also after a long day at work, this would be perfect.
Running helps me fight stress
