Foam Roll Calves
1 - Sit on the floor with your legs extended in front of you and place the foam roller under your calves, just above the ankles.
2 - Place your hands on the floor behind you and lift your hips off the ground, supporting your body weight with your arms.
3 - Slowly roll forward and backward along the length of your calves, from just above the ankles to just below the back of the knee.
4 - When you find a tender or tight spot, pause on it for 20-30 seconds, applying sustained pressure until the tension releases.
5 - For increased pressure, cross one leg over the other to focus the weight on a single calf at a time.
6 - Continue rolling for 60-90 seconds per calf, targeting any areas of tightness or discomfort.
7 - Finish by gently flexing and pointing your foot a few times to further loosen the muscle.
