I just got a foam roller today and found this video immensely helpful. Thank you!

[@johnnypaul8888]

EXCELLENT. Just got my foam roller in today and had no clue what to do. This was incredibly helpful. Thank you!

[@gabrielvazquez5491]

I had a foam roller for two months but never used it because I honestly didn't know how to. This video showed me! Thank you!

[@rachellelynhadley]

This was such an amazing video--short and to the point (no pun intended). I have never had anyone recommend upper back, but what a bloody brill idea!!! Thanks as always for the fantastic info!

[@arleigh921]

Thank you!!! Best video for beginners...running my first marathon and friend recommended foam rolling. Game changer.

[@jelisem]

Thank you for this video. I spend a lot of my time while foam rolling thinking I’m doing it wrong bc I would find certain spots that hurt really bad. Now I know that’s what I’m looking for.

[@charlenewaldner412]

Nice video! Thank you for the great info !

[@DerekDuVelleDrives]

Great introduction exercises to foam rolling for me!

[@luzlokino6347]

Your video was so helpful for me. m My foam roller just arrived and I used it right away to relax my muscles after running for 20 km

[@Ssaigowda]

Thanks .. very informative

[@perwiratempur]

Thank you for this guide! May I know what is the next step on using foam rollers?

[@oijimmyslay]

Thanks mate, this was really useful! First time foam roller here, just gearing up for a first ever half marathon attempt in 2 weeks time. The difference rolling has just made to my legs after months of training and no rolling is unreal haha!

[@TheRunExperience]

Awesome! So glad you've added it to your routine!

[@alessiodelgigante]

Do you do it before or after your runs?

[@toniviudez6371]

Thanks for this very helpful video. I really need to use more the foam roller. My claves are pretty tight after long runs.

[@zXJulianXz]

My left calf is screaming. I can't believe I ran for so many years and ignored its suffering.

[@sarahsimmons8921]

can you do a video on foam rolling hamstrings ??

[@jthomas4582]

Is there a right or wrong direction to roll? E.g. should you always roll toward the knee or away from the knee? Same question for adductors and, well, everywhere!

[@Saltking_Tim_Spindel]

Awesome vid with good points! ..... Could use more Holly though :)

[@TheRunExperience]

You'll see her in some videos soon :)

[@Lukomeyan]

I so desperately want to try this, but my arms are so weak and this requires quite a bit of endurance in your arms especially for the calf muscles :(. So I have some questions: 1. Does it have to be one session of 3 to 5 minutes or can I break it up into 30 second bursts with 15 to 20 seconds of recovery (for my arms)? 2. You don't really mention it, but should I do some kind of warm-up before I start (on off days when I didn't exercise)? 3. Is there a risk of injuring yourself if you put a bit too much pressure on it or stay a bit too long?

[@phacocataractdrlvkraju5]

Very pertinent question, please anyone reply

[@Nicole-qw4pe]

Dude can I work for you guys? I’m a pretty new runner, but honestly you all just seem so cool, like you all go for weekend group runs and eat pizza together. I want this life!

[@ahsanur100]

There are a few articles that state the benefits from rolling prior to a run. Each to their own I guess

[@jacobwearsch7838]

Can my wife use this if she has varicose veins?

[@didyouknowpodcast]

Outdoors is the best gym!

[@didyouknowpodcast]

What's your reason for not foam folling before a workout?

[@miamiwaffles]

R S cause I take good advice and don’t do them in spite..

[@hurricane7800]

If you've never rolled your IT bands before... I recommend a leather strip for between your teeth..! Jokes aside, foam rolling is really great, and so is this video :)
