Foam Rolling 101

Roll slow. Roll painful spots. Breathe through it.

Technique

Move at 1 inch per second. Pause 20–30 seconds on tender areas without wincing.

Target Zones

Quads, IT band, glutes, lats, and thoracic spine — avoid rolling directly on joints or bones.

Frequency

10 minutes post-workout or on rest days. Daily rolling before bed aids sleep quality.
