Foam rolling helps relieve tight muscles, increases your range of motion, and addresses niggles before they become injuries. It also helps your muscles recover post-workout to avoid the dreaded delayed-onset muscle soreness, a.k.a. DOMS. (Ever struggled to walk down some steps the day after a solid workout? Yep! That is DOMS.)
Basically, think of foam rolling as your secret weapon when it comes to effective recovery and injury prevention.
Quads can often become over used when cycling, try this foam roll or tennis ball massage to help these muscles recover.
