Unlock Your Hip Flexors with a Foam Roller

In our go-go-go society the focus always seems to be on working out and never on working in. This despite the fact that we actually get stronger, leaner and more fit in the times when we’re resting as opposed to training.
Your exercise choices determine the stimulus received by the body, and your recovery choices determine the response. With every workout on the bike, lifting session in the gym or cross training exercise through another sport, you are telling your body that you want to get stronger, faster, more coordinated, etc. What are you telling it in between?
Relieving our achy backs, painful hips and sore legs after cycling is a multifaceted and often complex, individualized issue. Posture, anatomy and various lifestyle factors all have a say. However, there are certain constants that, if adhered to (even loosely), can be a significant contributor to your post cycling recovery and overall improved cycling performance.
One of them is using a foam roller or lacrosse ball to give your muscles a gentle massage. This is a low cost method for long-term health and bodily maintenance. They’re widely available and probably hanging out in the corner of your gym! These implements, when used correctly, have been shown to increase joint range of motion and reduce muscle soreness post exercise.
Not only is this a relaxing practice that you can do almost anywhere, it helps to break up all those stiff, grouchy tissues in your legs and back from being on the saddle. You get to know your muscles in a new way by finding different pressure points (ouch!) and knots that you didn’t know were there, then giving those areas some much needed love and attention.
