myo what? myofascial release! you've heard of this, right? or have seen those foam rollers in stores. they range from about $15.00-$40.00, come in several lengths and various colors. you need to get one-a longer, dense foam type. we need not get technical here but by using the roller (other items used for the same purpose are golf and tennis balls) you will release the knots in your muscles along with other added benefits. after my workouts and after some stretching i roll. if you have a mat put that down and sit on it. put the roller under different parts of your body, especially good for legs, and while applying pressure slowly roll back and forth. you will feel the knots-they hurt! but keep going back over them and over time they will release. you may feel clumsy at first but the learning curve is pretty short.
myofascial release is recommended by everyone in the fitness world. you tube has videos or pick up a roller and when you come for your 1/2 hour complimentary consultation i will show you how to use it.
so get rolling!
