FOAM ROLLING AND IT’S BENEFITS
Foam rolling applies pressure to specific spots on the body, it can loosen tight soft tissue and improve blood flow.
There are so many benefits to foam rolling and the effectiveness when using one for warming up, cooling down and recovery days.
Let’s face it, we have all been there! Diving head-first into a new training regime and not warming up or cooling down accordingly.
The next morning, we wake up feeling stiff and sore.
“no pain, no gain” right?
Wrong!......This is where your foam roller will be your anti-inflammatory! Foam rolling before you begin training and cooling down will help release the buildup of lactic acid and tightness in the muscle tissue and in result will help prevent DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness)

I have put together a few different types of foam rollers and information on why you would choose each type.
