Um...you know how I wasn't going to buy anything more for a while?

But Aldi had these.

Running is terrific exercise, they said. It costs nothing, they said. All you need is a good pair of trainers and a couple of t-shirts...

Sepulchral laugh...

It does seem to work though: that nasty tight bit in my left calf has eased. And it was cheap.

Medieval torture implement?

Is that a foam roller? Looks like some sort of torture device! 😂😂😂

[Hidden in reply to Terimanning25]

I bought a similar one recently and find it helped with my calves

[Prudanced Graduate in reply to bsimonuk]

How do you use it?

[bsimonuk in reply to Prudanced]

I put it on the floor and roll my calf over it from Achilles upto top, I have tried it on my hamstrings and quads and on my backside : sitting on it . Some of it is painful and quite tiring ...

[Hidden in reply to bsimonuk]

Sounds like hard work!

[bsimonuk in reply to Hidden]

But worth it :-))

[Hidden in reply to bsimonuk]

It really does seem to help.

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Im not sure of the precise technique, but I just rolled it gently up and down my calves, and it seems to have done the trick.

[Lordi Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Torture is probably closero the mark? I've heard that you need to apply firm pressure so sometimes a bit masochistic.

[Hidden in reply to Lordi]

Ah, well it seems to have worked, and I wasnt too brutal 😳

[Hidden]

Lots of you tube posts showing how to do it properly, and I suggest that you check them out. It does hurt but only like a deep muscle massage

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Oh, thanks 😊

[Lizzisforliving Graduate]
