How to Foam Roll Single Leg Calves
Starting Position
1. Avoid rolling over any bones or joints.
2. If the pressure is too intense, ease up and find a less sensitive spot.
3. Take breaks as needed.
4. If you experience any pain, stop immediately and consult a doctor.
Proper Form
1. Slowly roll the foam roller up and down the calf muscle, using your arms and hands to help you move.
2. As you roll, focus on any tight or tender spots.
3. Spend extra time rolling on those spots to help release the tension.
4. Roll for 30 to 60 seconds on each calf.
Breathing Technique
1. Take slow, deep breaths while rolling on the foam roller.
2. This will help your muscles relax and allow you to get the most out of the exercise.
Precautions
1. Sit on the floor with one leg extended out in front of you.
2. Place the foam roller on the calf muscle of the extended leg.
