Foam rolling can be a great way to release tension, reduce stiffness, and increase flexibility. Similar to a massage, it is a myofascial release technique. The fascia is a layer of connective tissue that holds your muscles in place. Muscles and fascia can become tight from overuse or weakness, which limits your range of motion. Like massage, foam rolling can stretch and soften these tissues, realigning them and restoring mobility.
Foam rolling can be intense, even painful. But it should be similar to the pain of a deep tissue massage. If it doesn't feel good, stop. Foam rolling works especially well for large muscles such as glutes, hamstring, and quads. I personally love rolling out my lats. You can use the warm up video above before (or even after!) your workouts. Even as you watch your favorite show or morning wakes ups when you feel sore or tight in areas. It includes a foam rolling section. For more, check out this article from Harvard Health and this article from the New York Times.  It is easy to make your own electrolytes at home. Electrolytes are essential minerals that help with many bodily functions, including keeping fluids in balance, maintaining proper hydration levels, and regulating muscle function. You can lose electrolytes when you sweat during your workout, and this can help replenish them.
