I’d like to let you in on a little known secret to make a huge impact on your flexibility and range of motion. It’s one of my favorites and it’s incredibly effective.

This technique is called self-myofascial release and it uses a foam roller. You can find these rollers at almost any place that sells fitness equipment.

The principle activated through this technique is called autogenic inhibition and in it’s simplest terms, it involves applying pressure to a tight muscle to signal to that muscle that it’s OK to relax.

Watch this video and then run out to get your own foam roller.
