How to do foam roll calves

Coach's Tips

In a seated position, place the foam roller under your calves and roll it gently.

Start Position

1. Engage your core and maintain your hips lifted off the floor during the entire exercise.

2. Roll slowly and pause to apply pressure on any spots that feel particularly tense or sore.

Proper Form

1. With your hands providing support, lift your hips off the ground and slowly move the foam roller up and down your calf.

2. Pause and apply pressure to areas that feel tight or sore.

3. Roll each calf for about 1 to 2 minutes.

Breathing Technique

1. Inhale deeply as you roll the foam roller upwards on your calf.

2. Exhale deeply as you roll the foam roller downwards on your calf.

Precautions

1. Sit on the floor with your legs stretched out in front of you.

2. Position a foam roller underneath the calves of one leg.
