FEAR LESS. DO MORE. CHASE YOUR FEARS & STOMP THEM INTO THE GROUND!
  • Foam Rolling Positions

    Oh Mr. Foamy, I hate you and I love you. But, I’m sure some people wonder what they are supposed to do with you. Follow me to find out!

    CALF STRETCH:

    Place the roller under your calf. Roll from the back of your knee to your Achilles tendon. To intensify, stack your other leg on top of your rolling leg. Hold tight spots for 30-45 seconds or until pain diminishes.

    ANTERIOR TIBIALIS/SHINS:

    Begin on your hands and knees and place the roller under your shin area. Roll front to back to find tender areas. Hold tight spots for 30-45 seconds or until pain diminishes.

    IT BAND AND TFL:

    Position the roller under your hip and place your top leg in front for support. Roll from the top of your hip down to your knee. To intensify, stack legs on top of each other. Hold tight spots for 30-45 seconds or until pain diminishes.

    QUADRICEPS:

    Lie face down on roller and roll from your hips to the top of your knees. Keep lower legs straight out or crossed in the air. Hold tight spots for 30-45 seconds or until pain diminishes.

    PERONEALS STRETCH:

    Position the roller under your knee and place your top leg in front for support.  Roll from your knee down to your ankle. To intensify, stack legs on top of each other. Hold tight spots for 30-45 seconds or until pain diminishes.

    Thank you for everything Mr. Foamy.

    BEYOND THE WALL CONTEST!


    My name is Adrian and I'm a 23 year old from Pittsburgh, PA. "YO ADRIAN, I DID IT!" I'm a former 230 lb girl, and I just ran my first marathon on May 6, 2012. Don't be afraid to ask me anything! If I can inspire just 1 person to change their life, then I've done my job. Remember that I'm not a doctor or a licensed personal trainer. The information I offer is based on knowledge from research and personal experience. All opinions are my own. Please consult a physician before beginning any new weight loss and/or fitness program. Thank you for visiting.

    Please read all Q&A, running tip pages, weight loss tip pages, etc. before asking a question! It's nearly impossible for me to answer every single question due to the daily increase in my number of followers. If I don't answer your question, please don't take it personally. Chances are, it's already been previously asked and answered. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. It's really appreciated. **EDIT (01/25/12): If you do not have a Tumblr account or if you do, but want to remain anonymous, please provide an email address in which I can contact you with a response to your question. Anonymous questions have to be publicly posted for me to be able to answer and I don't necessarily want to clutter up everyone's dashboard. Thank you for your cooperation.
