Why stretch? What is a foam roll? Watch this video from Again Faster. You can pick up a foam roller for little over $20 at Target in their exercise equipment section. This little thing is money well spent to helping roll out the tightness you feel in legs, knees, glutes, back etc. If you have joint issues, IT band problems, adhesions, tight hamstrings, lower back soreness and so on, give this a try in addition to stretching to increase your flexibility and decrease your pain. Part 2 will be posted tomorrow.
