Today was my rest / recovery day, and as expected, I felt as if I was missing something.
So after dinner out came my FitOn App (thanks to a recommendation on the Bridge10k group), and up came my saved roller recovery workout with Breann.
It is quite short, ca 10 minutes, but she covers 4 areas (although she says 5!) and how to thoroughly roll these: hamstrings, itbs, glutes, upper back.
My hubby even joined in! So we were rolling and grimacing in effort. And a bit of pain here and there, as we loosened those knots! I have to admit, when Breann says, “and where you feel a bit of pain, stay on there until your muscles relax“, I still am having to put a lot of effort in simply holding myself into position. For me, it’s definitely not as easy (or as elegant) as it looks! (No virtual roses thrown at my feet this time!)
But it did feel great afterwards, legs feeling warm like having had a massage.
Of course you can just look up these movements yourself, but having someone talk you through these routines via video is just so much nicer!
I certainly can recommend it and it’s also available for free (although it is yet another app on your phone).
Happy workouts, everyone!
