Are you doing everything you can to get the most out of your workout? Foam rolling is an important addition to your fitness routine you should consider. Here's just a few reasons why: 1. Foam rolling will improve your training sessions by allowing you to recover more effectively and in turn train harder. 2. Helps prevent injuries which will allow you to train consistently. 3. Relieves muscle soreness, restores normal muscle length and improves range of motion. 4. Rolling out tight muscle before the workout primes the muscles for activity by increasing circulation and relieving muscle tension. 5. Foam rolling post workout relieves tightness and flushes out blood that has pooled in the muscles trained and makes way for oxygen and nutrients to come in and begin muscle recovery. So here's how you do it! Slowly roll over the area, covering about one inch per second, back and forth. If you find a spot that is tender, do not avoid it (that just means it needs more love). Stop right on it and hold the pressure on that spot for about 30 seconds. Good spots to foam roll would be quadriceps, hamstrings, gluteus, outer thighs, inner thighs, calves, lats, and rhomboids. Make an effort to foam roll for 5 minutes before and after your workout and you'll enjoy the benefits of better workouts and healthy and happy muscles 💪🏼😄
