Foam Roller

This exercise involves rolling the outer lower leg while lying on the side, which helps in relieving muscle tension and promoting flexibility. It targets the peroneal muscles along the side of the lower leg, which are often tight due to repetitive movements like running.

How to do it

  1. Lie on your side with the foam roller positioned under your lower leg.
  2. Support your upper body with your forearm and place your top foot on the floor for stabilization.
  3. Slowly roll up and down from just below the knee to just above the ankle.
  4. Apply pressure by leaning into the roller and adjust positions to target tight areas.
  5. Engage your core and maintain a controlled motion throughout the exercise.
