Are you scared of your foam roller?
Too painful?
Never get around to doing it?
Unbearable?
If this sounds like you, try using a rolling pin! You don’t need all the fancy gadgets to get this done…The beauty of using your rolling pin is that you can dictate how much pressure you use on each muscle. Whereas with the foam roller your body weight dictates that pressure, which if you are a beginner can often be intolerable.
Try rolling your quads, hamstrings, calves and peroneals (outside on the lower leg). Aim for 10 passes of each muscle…
Watch my rolling pin routine. This is a great introduction into using a foam roller! Once this gets easier, give your foam roller a try!
