Hi Everyone!

Summer weather is upon us so it's time to shed those extra layers! I know we are all short on time but if you had a quick but intense workout you could do at home with no equipment other than a foam roller would you do it? Well you're in luck, we are offering one below that you can complete in 30 minutes!

BODYWEIGHT WORKOUT

You can do this entire workout every other day if desired. All you need is a foam roller for the prep work. Also, research has shown that using a timer or metronome helps the brain to absorb the movement patterns which can boost results. There are tons of timer apps out there. I use one called Interval Timer in the office. We also use a metronome app to set bpm when necessary.

Preparation

FOAM ROLLER- 30 seconds each
Duration 3-4 minutes

  • Pec (chest) stretch - Lie lengthwise on roller with arms out and palms up

  • Glute Med/Min- Sit on the Foam Roller with legs together and lean to the left and right to apply pressure to the outside hips.  Do one side then switch.

  • Quadricep (front of thighs)

  • Inner Thighs -Lie beside the foam roller length wise.  Place one leg over the roller to apply pressure to the inner thigh (from knee to groin)- Do one side then switch

  • It Band- Lie on the foam roller on your side to apply the pressure to the outside of the leg from the hip muscle down to the side of the knee.  Do one side then switch
