This foam rolling technique targets the calves to loosen up tight tissue and promote better range of motion. It is effective pre- or post-workout, especially for runners and lifters.
Instructions
- Sit on the floor with one leg extended and a foam roller under your calf.
- Cross your other leg on top to apply additional pressure.
- Press into the floor with your hands to lift your hips slightly.
- Roll slowly from just below the knee to above the ankle.
- Pause and hold over tight areas, then switch sides.
