http://www.carolinejordanfitness.com/
Join Fitness pro, Caroline Jordan, for this quick leg massage technique using the foam roller. In this free video, Caroline leads you through an exercise designed to relieve tension and tightness out the outside of the leg, the IT Band muscle. Here are more instructions:
Using the foam roller on the IT band can be painful, but many people find it's one of the most useful stretches you will do with the foam roller. Lie on the roller on your side, with the roller positioned just below the hip. Your top leg can be in line with the bottom leg if you want a lot of pressure. Or, bend it in front of you to unload some of your body weight and provide better balance. Use your hands for support and roll from the hip down to your knee, pausing on any tight or sore spots. Repeat on the your other side.
A foam roller is the best 10 minutes you'll ever spend. These few simple foam rolling exercises will pay fantastic dividends. Your body will be able to move more fluidly and freely. The following exercises are great for preworkout preparation and tune-ups between workouts. I challenge you to spend 10 minutes A DAY on the foam roller this week. Take notice of how it makes you feel and perform before/after your workouts. Leave a comment below and let me know you tried it!!
Perfect end to a hard training session. After your workout get on a foam roller and WORK OUT THE KINKS. Your body will thank you for it :)
