Calf roll
Target area
Calf muscles
Why do it?
Ideal for tackling muscle tension after a run or gym session, foam rolling your calf muscles can relieve those annoying aches and pains. Especially useful for runners and anyone suffering with a calf strain or Achilles pain.
Instructions
Sit on the floor (or yoga mat) and extend your legs straight out. Place a foam roller underneath your calves and your hands on the floor for support. Slowly begin to roll your calf muscles by pressing your body weight into your calves and supporting yourself on your hands with your bottom off the floor. Make sure you start and end right before the back of your knee. You can modify the intensity of the calf roll by crossing one leg over and placing it on top of the other leg.
