14 DAY FOAM ROLLER EXPERIMENT


Ive never had a problem with pushing myself with any kind of training you throw at me but unless i am doing a yoga class or some such, i have to say, like many people im sure, my stretching and mobility routines are pretty thin on the ground!
Ive been inspired by the blog of Kelly Starrett who is a bit of a guru in the whole mobility world and posts some great videos on strecthing and mobility:

So i have now purchased a foam roller (damn its hard!) from Nick Rivett Sports in Hove and am challenging myself to use it for at least 20 minutes a day from now until Christmas. It will be interesting to see the effects.
I have never suffered too bad before with aches and pains post training but a combination of me getting older (!!) and lots of olympic lifting lately has left my hips, glutes and IT bands pretty tight. Im going to steamroll my way back to looseness with the big white foam thing.

Watch this space!
