 Subject: Foam rollers for training recoveryHi all! I am just new at triathlons and I start feeling the need to add something to help recover my training sessions. I have heard about the foam rollers as pretty good tools to self massage the muscles in the legs. Does anyone use them? are really helpful and does it really works?
Cheers! |

Master 2167 Livonia, MI | Subject: RE: Foam rollers for training recovery I love my foam roller. It is definitely like giving yourself a little massage. If I need something harder or more concentrated in one small area, I use a tennis ball and roll on a hard surface rather than carpet. |

Pro 5869  , New Hampshire | Subject: RE: Foam rollers for training recovery Love/Hate relationship with my foam rollers (yes, multiple… we have one in the bedroom, one in the living room, a small travel sized one and two in the home gym). Love what the do for me, but hate the feeling while on them. They can truly hurt, but wow are they effective! Edited by audiojan 2013-11-03 2:17 PM |
