What do you do when you're trying to start filming workout videos again after finally getting over a cold and then you pull your lower back? Well, you foam roll, of course!
When I was in college in Oklahoma I bought into the CrossFit trend and in the first day they taught us how to use a foam roller. As someone with really tight IT bands and even tighter calves I quickly fell in love. Going to the gym three times a week wasn't enough so I ran over to the local T.J. Maxx and picked up a roller all my own. Nowadays I honestly don't roll out my muscles as much as I should, but it's such an easy and healthy habit to fit into even the busiest days. So I need to remember to take my own advice! Instead of sitting prone on the couch watching your favorite morning show (Hey, Kelly Ripa!) or binge watching Netflix at night, sit in front of the TV and roll. Do this whole routine and I promise your muscles will feel so much better and your output at the gym or on a run will improve.
As always, I hope you have a great and healthy week!
Love you lots,
