CleBkPkr Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 I went back through posts and the most recent post in foam rolling was a question in 2015. Anyone use a foam roller? A couple people I know who are avid runners swear by them. After yesterdays run my shins and butt muscles are so sore! OMG lol Looking for a little advice to get stretched out. I am taking the night off. No treadmill tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crabapple Posted March 19, 2019 Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 It's probably good to take a break after a run like that. I don't even know what a foam roller is or how to use one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleBkPkr Posted March 19, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2019 I never heard of one either. Two of my runner friends both recommended using one. Here’s a video that shows one set of exercises using a roller. Going to give it a whirl. Crabapple 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CleBkPkr Posted March 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2019 Here’s one more video. This video is more of what I am looking for from foam rolling. There are so many. It’s a lot to sort through but I think it’s worth studying to find what works best. My daughter suggested yoga too. I have gone to a yoga class. It is a LOT harder than it looks lol https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Xw2sQK3rzG0 Crabapple 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crabapple Posted March 21, 2019 Report Share Posted March 21, 2019 I took a yoga class two or three years ago and I have to agree. It is a lot harder than it looks. CleBkPkr 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CleBkPkr Posted March 29, 2019 Author Report Share Posted March 29, 2019 Have been giving this foam roller a whirl. I have to say I do love it! It definitely has helped. And, when I roll over it for my back I can hear it popping lol It has helped my calf and hamstring muscles... I'll keep using it and see how things go over a longer period of time. For right now I am happy with it! Crabapple 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
