When a muscle is tight and shortened, it can change how your joint operates. When you foam roll, you help release knots so that muscles can become loose and ready to work.īy starting your workout program with foam rolling, you can start restoring muscles to their proper length-tension relationships. When muscles are at their proper length tension relationship, they can contract properly allowing us to lift more weight and engage the correct muscles to do the work.Īlso, by loosening up knots, you can help improve your joint mobility. You can’t simply skip to strength training and expect your body to work correctly and remain injury-free.īefore you start your workout and your strength training routine, you must first start to work on restoring your flexibility and joint mobility by foam rolling tight areas. In order to make sure you are using the correct muscles when you lift, you must implement all four training elements – foam rolling, stretching, activation and strength training – in your workout routine. You can’t just simply lift weight and expect to get stronger.īecause even if you have seemingly perfect form, you may not be activating and using the correct muscles to lift the weight – and this could lead to injury instead of you getting stronger and fitter. To correct these imbalances and truly help prevent and alleviate injuries, you can’t just simply go and workout. To keep your body healthy and strong, you need to correct the imbalances caused by sitting all day at a desk and performing repetitive movements.
