CALVES
Foam Roll Calves
BeginnerBodyweight
Foam rolling the calves is a self-massage technique that eases tightness and helps blood flow through the muscle. Rolling slowly over the lower leg can loosen stiff tissue, improve flexibility and take the edge off soreness. A handy addition to a warm-up or recovery session.
How to do it
- 1
Sit on the floor with your hands behind you for support.
- 2
Rest one calf on the foam roller and cross the other leg on top for extra pressure.
- 3
Lift your hips off the floor to load the roller.
- 4
Roll slowly from just above the ankle up toward the knee.
- 5
Pause on any tight spots until the tension eases.
- 6
Switch legs and repeat on the other calf.
