The Lat Foam Rolling exercise focuses on releasing tension in the latissimus dorsi muscles. By using a foam roller, it helps alleviate tightness, improve flexibility, and enhance mobility in the shoulder and back areas.

How to do it

  1. Lie on your side with a foam roller under your lat muscle, just below the armpit.
  2. Extend your arm overhead, and place your opposite hand on the floor for support.
  3. Roll slowly up and down the side of your torso, focusing on tender areas.
  4. Pause and hold pressure on tight spots for a few seconds, then continue rolling.
  5. Switch sides and repeat to balance both lat muscles.
