In this free video, Caroline leads you through exercises designed to relieve tension and tightness on the hips, thighs, hamstrings, lower back, feet and calves. Using these massage techniques can be painful, but many people find it’s one of the most useful was to relieve soreness / chronic pain and enhance performance.
this free, quick, and effective 14 minute stretching video to help runners (or anyone! ) with tight stiff muscles. This Stretching Sequence will help improve flexibility, strength, and performance. Its perfect after a workout or to relax after a long day. Grab a mat, have a seat, and get your legs and hips feeling AMAZING!
There are multiple uses for foam-rolling your muscles. First, there is relief from soreness. A person who foam-rolls targeted muscles after a workout is less sore than someone who didn’t. Second, is for proper posture. Third is injury prevention.
In this video, you are instructed to use the roller to search for tender areas or trigger points and to roll these areas to decrease density and over-activity of the muscle. With a little direction on where to look, most individuals easily find the tender spots on their own. However, they may need some instruction on the positioning of the roller, such as parallel, perpendicular, or 45 degrees, depending on the muscle.
The feel of the roller and intensity of the self-massage should be properly geared to the age, comfort, and fitness level of the athlete. This is one of the plusses of having the athlete roll themselves-they can control the intensity with their own body weight. Always check with your doctor to make sure the exercise routine is right for YOU.
There is no universal agreement on when to roll, how often to roll, or how long to roll, but generally, techniques are used both before and after a workout. Foam rolling prior to a workout can help decrease muscle density and promote a better warmup. Rolling after a workout may help muscles recover from strenuous exercise.
This foam rolling sequence with Caroline Jordan is the best 14 minutes you’ll ever spend. These few simple foam rolling exercises and stretches will pay fantastic dividends. Your body will be able to move more fluidly and freely. The following exercises are great for preworkout preparation and tune-ups between workouts.
