Join us for a lesson in how to use a foam roller to help improve recovery, muscle flexibility and joint mobility.

Whether you are a regular walker, runner or rider or just looking to increase your exercise levels in general, it is important ito make time for stretching and strengthening exercises to reduce risk of injury. It is a useful tool in training as part of your warm up or cool down, as well as after work to reduce postural tightness.

Foam rolling involves rolling along the length of a muscle group, or using sustained pressure to a particular area. It is a great means to help improve muscle flexibility and joint mobility.

In addition, foam rolling increases blood flow to area, which can improve recovery of muscles and reduce delayed onset muscle soreness.

The session will cover why and when to use a foam roller and what are the best Foam Roller exercises.

There are plenty of different options for foam rollers, with varying firmness, smooth or jagged surfaces, and different lengths. Smooth, longer rollers are great as they can be used for a great variety of core and strength exercises also.

If you don’t own a foam roller you can get them from the likes of amazon.com and decathlon from around £10-£15.
