My 6 Favorite Foam Rolling Moves

HOW/WHERE TO FOAM ROLL
Foam rolling is super simple. All you need to do is lay with the body part you want to roll on the roller, then roll back and forth. You want to make sure you roll slowly. This will be a bit uncomfortable if your muscles are sore or tight, but breathe through it and take small breaks if you need to! My favorite places to foam roll are my:- Glutes
- Quads
- Back
- Neck (this one is awesome if you carry a lot of stress in your neck and shoulders, like me!)
- Hamstrings
- Calves
WHY FOAM ROLL?
Besides the fact that it feels good (ok, maybe not right away – but it will!), foam rolling is really important for recovery. When you foam roll, you massage your fascia, the connective tissue that covers your muscles, which helps stabilize and lengthen them. Basically, it gives you a quick and easy way to get myofascial release without having to pay for a massage. In this way, foam rolling helps to:- Relax your muscles
- Stabilize your joints
- Speed tissue recovery
- Improve circulation
- Correct any muscular imbalances
- Reduce soreness
