Love Your Lower Legs AM Routine + Foam Rolling
#foamrollingforfeet #foamrollingforcalves #loveyourcalves #amlowerlegroutine
I am back this week with more love for your lower legs, once again with the calves as a prime target. I have a longer Yin style practice here: • Runner Yoga: Lower Leg Yin Yoga | Calves |... -- it would be great to do the Yin practice first, and then these exercise -- if you have the time, of course.
The first thing I'm sure you going to notice is that there isn't much Yoga here, although there is a little. I'm sharing the exercises I do as a warmup every morning -- that includes a little foam rolling. Here are links (Amazon Affiliate links, which means I get a tiny bit of money if you buy using my link) to the foam rollers I use in this video:
Triggerpoint Grid Foam Roller

Triggerpoint Grid Vibrating Foam Roller

I don't actually have the vibrating foam roller, but I would love to try it!
Spri Foam Roller 36"
https://amzn.to/333sLmS
I highly recommend having a long foam roller! There is a lot you can do with it. I've had mine for years and the foam is still hard.
T-PIN! Muscle Recovery
https://amzn.to/36NEeIg
The shape of this foam roller allows you to roll along your spine -- without actually being right on your spine (because you don't want to roll bones, it has no benefits)
You'll notice that all these foam rollers are "hard" foam rollers. There is a lot of debate about hard vs soft when it comes to myofascial release, and personally I use both. You need to try it for yourself and see what you think, but I love my foam rollers -- maybe you can tell that!
If you looking for a softer, highly portable foam roller, one that I often take to races with me (when there were live races), I highly recommend:
The Original Worm

I've written about the Original Worm on my blog here: https://chocolaterunsjudy.com/2015/12...
I hope you find these exercises useful, and I highly encourage you to give them a try -- and to use them regularly. If you want more foam rolling videos, I'm not an expert, but I foam roll regularly and I'm happy to share more about there on my channel -- drop me a comment! You can just write "Foam".
