]]> From performing advanced workouts to functioning better on a daily basis, flexibility plays an important role in your life. Here are some effective techniques to help improve your flexibility and upscale your quality of life in the process.

Foam Rolling

By stretching and working out using a foam roller, you can improve your circulation and ultimately extend your range of motion. From plain rolling to pushups and walkouts, foam rollers are versatile workout tools.

Stretch Again After Your Workout

Once your muscles are warmed up after your workout, it is a prime opportunity to stretch them and improve your mobility. While you may be tired after a workout, consider doing a brief stretching routine for a few minutes before calling it a day.

Target the Problem Areas

While some areas of your body may be perfectly flexible, not all body parts are created equal. Make sure to develop a stretching routine that specifically targets the problem areas so that you can progress the right way.

]]> Anyone who’s ever worked out knows the feeling of muscle soreness. Sometimes it’s so bad, you might feel like you can’t walk or use the stairs. There are a bunch of ways to prevent this from happening, and one of those is by using a foam roller. Foam rollers are great because they massage out the tension from your muscles on a deeper level than stretching does. The question is, when should you use a foam roller–before or after your workout?

Before a Workout

If you want to use a foam roller to improve your range of motion with your muscles for your workout, it’s a good idea to use it before your workout. It’s important to note, however, that you should always warm up before you use a foam roller. Using a foam roller on cold or static muscles could lead to injury or pain. 

After a Workout

The most popular use for foam rollers is definitely after a workout. When your muscles are totally exhausted and swollen from your workout, rolling them can help prevent the cramping and soreness later on. It’s recommended to use a foam roller right after your workout on the muscle groups used. Do this before your cool-down stretch to get the best results.

]]> Whether you have pain from sitting all day at your desk or you’ve done a strenuous workout, a stiff back can be very annoying. To help ease your back pain you just need just one tool—the foam roller. This will help massage your back like no other and give you relief from the pain you are feeling. Lying on the foam roller for five minutes a day, and opening your chest can really help to reverse the effects of being hunched over your desk.

Here are three exercises you can do with the foam roller for your back.

Thoracic Spine Roll

Place the roller under your shoulder blades, with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Support your head with your hands and engage the abs, move the spine slowly up and down the roller whilst focusing on your breath. If you feel a point that needs more pressure, stay there for a little longer and breathe through the sensation.

Glute Roll

The glute roll can give you more range of motion and alleviate any lower back pain or tension in your hips. You want to place the roller underneath the lower back, just on top of the glutes, with the knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Move slowly up and down or side to side past the glutes, holding at points you feel more pain.

Side Roll

The side of your body also needs to be rolled over to alleviate pain in the back. Place the foam roller under the right side of your torso, placing the right elbow on the ground and the left hand on top of the roller for support. The right leg is straight and the left leg is bent with the foot on the floor. Roll up and down the torso, from the hips to under the arms.

]]> Have you ever arrived at your workout so stiff, you have no idea how you are going to endure an hour of exercise? If so, the best thing for you to do is to include a foam roller in your warm-up, to stretch the muscles and get you mobile. The roller can reduce trigger point sensitivity, improve blood circulation and range of motion when combined with mobility exercises.

Here are some warm-up exercises for you to do with the roller.

Back of the Shoulders

On your hands and knees, with your feet together and your knees wider than hip-width apart, put the roller between the left arm and knee. Straighten the right arm and place your wrist on the roller (so your hand is facing up) and roll underneath the left arm. You’re sure to feel a nice stretch in the back of the shoulders. Do both sides five times.

Upper and Lower Back

Lie on a mat with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. Place the roller under your shoulder blades and roll up and down your back, by lifting the glutes off the mat and using the legs to help you. This is great for neck tension and any lower back pain.

Hamstrings

For those who love to deadlift but don’t enjoy the stiff hamstrings after, this is for you. Sit on a mat and place the roller underneath one or both of your hamstrings. Your entire lower body should be off the mat and putting all the weight on the roller, and your arms will be helping you to back and forth.

Foam Roller Plank

Regular plank just got interesting thanks to foam rollers. You have to fix your elbows, get in control, and build stability while doing this exercise and it will help you build strength.

Foam Roller Push-Ups

Building stability is just what you get out of this exercise since your hands are not on the ground as always and they are placed on a foam roller. You have to put great pressure on the whole body, especially arms and shoulders, and control them while doing a push-up.

Foam Roller Wall Squat

Here is a great way to control your back from banding while doing the exercise. Take the position as for the regular squat and place a foam roller between the wall and your back. It will massage your back and help you build strong legs.

Since we put a lot of pressure on our knees while doing exercises, we have to strengthen them, and here are a few ways to do it.

Foam Rollers

Foam rollers are often used in knee pain recovery. Using a roller on the hip region, and around the knee joint can create a lot of pain at the beginning, but after a few times of using it, you’ll build up a tolerance.

Isometric Hip-Flexion

You can do this exercise by laying down or sitting in a chair. No matter which way you pick, it’s all about building up resistance as you push or lift your legs.

Single-Leg Squats

By doing this exercise you will feel your knees getting stronger and stronger. All pressure is on them, and the knees are doing all the moving, so it’s a great exercise for strengthening them.

In the past few years these items have become a staple not only in gyms, but also in therapy places, hospitals and more. If you already own one, we wanted to point out to the foam rolling mistakes you have to avoid.

Don’t Do It Too Fast

Take your time when rolling. Going too fast will not get you the results you’re expecting. Also, make sure that you don’t spend too much time on the painful areas and knots. They do require attention, but you want to roll everywhere.

Avoid The Lower Back

You might be tempted to use it on the lower back, but that is one of the biggest foam rolling mistakes you can do. It’s completely safe for the upper and middle parts, but when doing it on the lower back, you can cause damage to the spine.

Contract And Relax

Foam rolling will be even more successful if you contract and relax the muscles while doing it. This is a great tip to nurse the muscles back to life, because you will additionally be activating them and increasing the blood flow.

It’s cheap, it’s easy, it’s fun – and it will make you feel as good as new after a workout. Here are a few health benefits you should keep in mind in case you haven’t tried it yet.

Improved Movements

Turns out stretching isn’t the only way to decrease muscle tightness and improve flexibility before your workout. Foam rolling can have a pretty much same effect and lead to an improved range of motion. Stretching and loosening your muscles by using a roller can also increase blood flow and lead to better circulation.

Of je moet foam rollen? Nou, dat moet absoluut niet. Tenzij je een mobiliteitsbeperking hebt die je prestatie in de weg staat en wanneer deze verholpen kan worden d.m.v. foam rollen. Best specifiek toch? Daarom gaat het bij veel trainers mis met deze rol. Die laten Jan en alleman elke keer rollen om, eh, te rollen 🤔? • De foam roller is al veel wonderlijke kenmerken toegeschreven: het zou "spierknopen" weghalen, bindweefsel losmaken, je schoonouders laten verdwijnen en de Brexit voorkomen. En dat doet het eigenlijk allemaal niet. Wat het wél doet, daar is de wetenschap nog niet over uit. Een van de minder belichte, maar plausibele scenario's is de 'diffuse noxische inhibitoire controle', waarbij de pijn van het rollen ervoor zorgt dat de pijnsignalen die je mobiliteit in de weg staan minder worden. Maar zeker weten doen we dit nog niet. • Maar dát het werkt tegen bepaalde mobiliteitsproblemen, dat weten we wel. Tenminste, op kortetermijn wanneer je vlak vóór de oefening rolt. O, en tegen spierpijn kan deze ook een verlichtende werking hebben😎. • Rollen jullie eigenlijk? Mochten jullie minder willekeurig willen rollen en meer willen trainen: er is volgende maand weer plek voor online-coaching! DM voor vraagjes. Dan gaan we gezond de kerst in 🎅! Groeten 💪🏻✌🏻! • #strikeapose #foamroller #foamrolling #keeponrolling #fitdutchies #fitfamnl #fitdutchie #fitnl #fitgirlsnl #fitlife #gymtime #sportschool #mobilitymonday #fitspo #dutchfit #dutchfitness #personaltrainer #utrecht #fitnesslife #warmingup #mobility #fitanddutch

Injury Prevention

What a better way to treat an injury than preventing it from happening in the first place? Foam rolling will get you there by stopping many injuries associated with tightness and overuse right in their track, by decreasing the likelihood of an improper movement that may lead them.

Faster Recovery

This form of self-myofascial release can be pretty effective if you opt to perform it post-workout, as well. It will help your body get rid of waste products such as lactic acid, by bringing fresh blood and nutrients to your system. Foam rolling can also be good for your mental health, and help you reduce stress after hitting the gym.

You can do this exercise by laying down or sitting in a chair. No matter which way you pick, it’s all about building up resistance as you push or lift your legs.

Single-Leg Squats

By doing this exercise you will feel your knees getting stronger and stronger. All pressure is on them, and the knees are doing all the moving, so it’s a great exercise for strengthening them.

]]> Foam rollers are the ultimate way to beat sore muscles. The faster you recover, the sooner you can back to training again with full force. In the past few years these items have become a staple not only in gyms, but also in therapy places, hospitals and more. If you already own one, we wanted to point out to the foam rolling mistakes you have to avoid.

Don’t Do It Too Fast

Take your time when rolling. Going too fast will not get you the results you’re expecting. Also, make sure that you don’t spend too much time on the painful areas and knots. They do require attention, but you want to roll everywhere.

Avoid The Lower Back

You might be tempted to use it on the lower back, but that is one of the biggest foam rolling mistakes you can do. It’s completely safe for the upper and middle parts, but when doing it on the lower back, you can cause damage to the spine.

Contract And Relax

Foam rolling will be even more successful if you contract and relax the muscles while doing it. This is a great tip to nurse the muscles back to life, because you will additionally be activating them and increasing the blood flow.

It’s cheap, it’s easy, it’s fun – and it will make you feel as good as new after a workout. Here are a few health benefits you should keep in mind in case you haven’t tried it yet.

Improved Movements

Turns out stretching isn’t the only way to decrease muscle tightness and improve flexibility before your workout. Foam rolling can have a pretty much same effect and lead to an improved range of motion. Stretching and loosening your muscles by using a roller can also increase blood flow and lead to better circulation.

Of je moet foam rollen? Nou, dat moet absoluut niet. Tenzij je een mobiliteitsbeperking hebt die je prestatie in de weg staat en wanneer deze verholpen kan worden d.m.v. foam rollen. Best specifiek toch? Daarom gaat het bij veel trainers mis met deze rol. Die laten Jan en alleman elke keer rollen om, eh, te rollen 🤔? • De foam roller is al veel wonderlijke kenmerken toegeschreven: het zou "spierknopen" weghalen, bindweefsel losmaken, je schoonouders laten verdwijnen en de Brexit voorkomen. En dat doet het eigenlijk allemaal niet. Wat het wél doet, daar is de wetenschap nog niet over uit. Een van de minder belichte, maar plausibele scenario's is de 'diffuse noxische inhibitoire controle', waarbij de pijn van het rollen ervoor zorgt dat de pijnsignalen die je mobiliteit in de weg staan minder worden. Maar zeker weten doen we dit nog niet. • Maar dát het werkt tegen bepaalde mobiliteitsproblemen, dat weten we wel. Tenminste, op kortetermijn wanneer je vlak vóór de oefening rolt. O, en tegen spierpijn kan deze ook een verlichtende werking hebben😎. • Rollen jullie eigenlijk? Mochten jullie minder willekeurig willen rollen en meer willen trainen: er is volgende maand weer plek voor online-coaching! DM voor vraagjes. Dan gaan we gezond de kerst in 🎅! Groeten 💪🏻✌🏻! • #strikeapose #foamroller #foamrolling #keeponrolling #fitdutchies #fitfamnl #fitdutchie #fitnl #fitgirlsnl #fitlife #gymtime #sportschool #mobilitymonday #fitspo #dutchfit #dutchfitness #personaltrainer #utrecht #fitnesslife #warmingup #mobility #fitanddutch

Injury Prevention

What a better way to treat an injury than preventing it from happening in the first place? Foam rolling will get you there by stopping many injuries associated with tightness and overuse right in their track, by decreasing the likelihood of an improper movement that may lead them.

Faster Recovery

This form of self-myofascial release can be pretty effective if you opt to perform it post-workout, as well. It will help your body get rid of waste products such as lactic acid, by bringing fresh blood and nutrients to your system. Foam rolling can also be good for your mental health, and help you reduce stress after hitting the gym.
