So you've been ROCKing your workouts at the gym... now it's time to get ROLLing...FOAM ROLLING that is!
It's great to see everyone putting in the effort in CARDIO & STRENGTH TRAINING: pounding strides on the treadmill, hunched over your bike in SPIN class, slugging the heavy bag, pulling and pushing big iron on the training floor. But all that hard work is rough on your joints and leaves your muscles in a "shortened" condition.
Self Myo-Fascial Release (SMR), aka FOAM ROLLING, is the key to unlocking your knots, trigger points, soreness and tightness. Don't neglect flexibility training.
