]]> 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.

]]> The sleeper stretch is an exercise that improves the range of motion and internal rotation in the shoulders. If you sit at a computer for most of the day, look down at your phone often, or generally stand with your shoulders rounded forward, there is a good chance you have some tightness in your upper body.

Doing the sleeper stretch daily can help with that. When this move is performed while lying on your side, it stretches out the back of your shoulder. The goal is to increase your range of motion in the shoulder, which will result in better flexibility in your shoulder, which will make your daily tasks much easier. Here’s how the sleeper stretch is done:

  1. Lie on your affected side with your shoulder stacked underneath you. You can use a pillow to support your head.
  2. Position your right arm out in front of you at a 90-degree angle at the shoulder. Bend your right elbow 90 degrees so your forearm is perpendicular to the floor.
  3. Use your left arm to gently and slowly push your right palm toward the floor, until you feel resistance. Hold for 20 to 30 seconds.
  4. Repeat on the other side.
