8 tips to spring into that summer body (slideshow)
1. Roll out the right tools
When you feel “tight” but haven’t lost range of motion, self-massage using foam rollers, balls or other tools can help. If you’ve had an injury, or just a wake-up call from a muscle that tends to alert you there’s something going on, this kind of self-release can keep your body functioning better.
Set aside five-to-ten minutes a few times a week to roll and you’ll clean up some potential imbalances. Many who use foam rolling before exercise report it improves their range of motion. Following exercise, roll to improve the benefit of stretching. Experiment with before and after to find what suits you best and roll with it.
