At the same time, the foam roller is also particular about it, but many people do not know how to use the foam roller. Of course there are still people who understand. So, what is the most correct way to use a foam roller? Let’s learn about foam rollers together.
Have a foam roller
If you are at the gym, you can find them in the relaxation equipment area, very simple.
If you exercise at home, you can go to a sporting goods store or buy them online at very cheap prices.
Get an area
This does not require a large space, as long as you can fully stretch your body. It can be completed in about five square meters. Of course, the wider the better.
Massage for sore areas
If you feel local muscle soreness and stiffness, you can place the foam roller at the painful location for massage, and adjust the movements to control the intensity of the massage.
Massage on sore and tense areas may be more painful. This is normal. Don’t worry about injury. Just stick to it.
Get a deep stimulating massage
For example, massage your thigh muscles, sit on the ground, put the foam roller under your knees, put your hands behind your back for support, press your legs on the foam roller, and roll the foam roller back and forth along your legs, keep it slow, and roll each piece It takes at least 3 to 4 minutes to massage all the muscles.
Pay attention to muscle tightness
Everyone is different, so develop your own plan that targets your most tense muscles.
Feel the results as your muscles begin to relax. You may find that after rolling, the pain is less intense and the muscles may become softer.
Repeat several times a week. Many athletes foam roll every two days.
