 Poster: A snowHead
|
So after seeing Colin aka CEM, I have bought some foam rollers which he has prescribed me to try to increase my flexibility through essentially self massaging the muscles that need some work. I have watched the videos today and have started trying to mimic them.
Just wondering if anybody else here has been down that route and how much success you've had and any advice from getting the best out of them?

Foam rollers are awesome, you think they are easy but they can really can test your body. They are great for warming up pre exercise and certainly for sorting out your muscles @dp, stick with it, you'll reap the benefits

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

+1 for the foam roller, first started using one on the instructions of a physio. I've also got a set of 'lacrosse' massage balls which I find useful and decidedly more portable. The trigger point roller that Colin sells is also really good for feet.

I have the little trigger point roller (from Colin) and also a bigger one for doing calves etc on.
I used them for the first time this evening and it was excruciating
Colin assured me this is a good sign!

Yeah if it ain't hurting it ain't working! It does get easier with time tho.
I just got a new roller from tk maxx; a very lumpy one. When I first used it I realized why tk maxx had so many of them in their sale - it's evil! Owwwwww!
