You probably have a foam roller sitting in the corner somewhere
You only think to use it when something hurts
So for the most part, it’s collecting dust
You walk past it yet again as your muscles subtly ache from all the stiffness they have built up from this year’s training season
That beautifully simple tool waits patiently for you to discover it’s true powers
The truth is, you’d like to relieve your muscles of tension, you’d like to get more limber, to loosen up…
But you’re not sure how
Maybe you know generally how to foam roll your IT band
And each time you foam roll you give a half assed 5 minutes of mindless rolling to an extremely painful area and think, “Ok enough of this”
Prop it back into that corner where it will sit untouched for another few weeks
The story doesn’t have to be that pathetic
I have grander visions for you
I have a vision that you can regularly include foam rolling sessions into your weekly routine
This will help you relieve muscle tension, improve mobility, and loosen you up this winter
But you have to know HOW to do that
I’m hosting a free How to Foam Roll Workshop on Saturday December 16th from 11:30am – Noon @ Fitness Defined in Evanston
At the workshop, I will teach you how to use your foam roller, what different muscle groups to target for runners, and how long to foam roll.
With the knowledge of how to use the foam roller, you will be able to exit the off season more limber than you went in
Without working on your mobility, winter will pass where you did nothing and your stiffness compounds on itself yet again
Let’s make this winter different than the others
