Just wanted to let people know Aldi are selling foam rollers for £3.99 at the moment. I think they work pretty well to loosen tight calves.

I’ve heard about foam rollers but have no idea what they are used for or how?

Have a look on YouTube for a demo video. They are basically a cylindrical section of foam with nodules carved in. You move your body over the roller to provide an at home deep tissue massage.
