Maybe you do not want to incorporate another activity to your routine, but when you know the benefits of using a foam roller, we are sure you will give it a try! Also, you can do it while watching TV, or working from home.

Foam roller exercises, also called myofascial release, is a form of massage that fit people do before exercise to relax aching muscles and contracture joints, or after a workout, in an effort to help recovery of the muscle.

Although there are many reasons to start practicing with the roller, let's look at the 5 most important ones:

#It keeps you flexible:

Stretching is not the only way to increase flexibility. A foam roller keeps your muscles relaxed and prevents them from becoming tense after your workout.

Reduce stress:

In the same way that a massage reduces stress, using a foam roller is the homemade version of giving yourself a luxury massage and enjoying almost all the same benefits, and at a super economic price!

Prevents injuries:

Treating an injury becomes much easier when it is avoided in the first place. Often, a consistent routine of proper stretching techniques combined with foam roller exercises can prevent many injuries associated with oppression and overuse, such as iliotibial band syndrome and other common injuries.

Improves circulation:

Because blood carries oxygen throughout the body, good circulation becomes crucial to overall health. Among other reasons, a decrease in our circulation can lead to a whole series of problems such as numbness in the extremities, impairment of cognitive ability (the ability to think clearly) and a weak immune system. Myofascial release can help improve circulation by breaking down narrow areas where blood flow may be restricted.

A roll of fast full body foam helps increase circulation from head to toe, helping to activate your body's natural anti-inflammatory response, keeping it healthier inside and out.

Reduces pain:

Can not you move from so many abs you did? Use a roller to alleviate sore areas will help you release lactic acid that is generated in your muscles, reducing immediately and reducing discomfort and accelerating recovery time.
