Recovery Monday

After long or intense runs, recovery is key.  My new obsession is using a foam roller to stretch and massage sore muscles.  This inexpensive piece of equipment is a must for any athlete.

Here is a workout that I like to use from Women's Health Magazine:

Buy your foam roller today!  Here are a few that I like:

Gaiam Green Restore Foam Roller (Target)

This roller is shorter and easier to store/carry with you.  It also comes with a 15 minute workout DVD.

Fitness Gear 24" Foam Roller (Dick's Sporting Goods)

This roller is at a good price.  Also, I like the texture and density of the roller.
