"It's a lot easier said than done!"
I have found that that phrase has become a staple in my daily language and is often directed at the styrofoam cylinder that cohabitates with me.
Having struggled with an inflamed IT band, I know a great deal about the benefits of foam rolling. I also have found creative ways to use this tool in my core strengthening routine. What I havent done, however, is ACTUALLY take my foam roller out of my bedroom closet!
That changed this week after reading this tip from Barre3:
"Commit to foam rolling for 10 minutes, 3x a week to improve your flexibility, reduce stress levels and reduce your risk of injury. The tool is the next best thing to a deep tissue massage, only cheaper! Focus on rolling your glutes, inner thighs, quads, IT Bands, hamstrings, and calves to keep your knees and lower back pain free!"
Not only did I appreciate this tip for its emphasis on future injury prevention, but I also loved its claim for a "spa like" retreat ;)
