I must admit that I am a foam roller virgin, but after your post I might have to go get myself one. Kettlebells are tough on the hamstrings so this will surely help! :) Awesome post Jimmy!

I'm so glad you got yourself a roller. I agree that there's really no wrong time to get your roll on, and that you can do it as often as you like. If I've got a client whose lats or hip flexors (or whatever) are chronically tight, I might have her roll out those two areas immediately before we work out to make sure she's got full pain free range of motion in the affected joints. It's also a good thing to do before yoga or other flexibility training since a muscle won't lengthen properly if it's got knots or adhesions in it. Great article!

I suppose I can use a lacrosse ball. I'll give it a shot. Thanks! Lamy- Thanks for the comment. Steve- I hear a tennis ball works great. I suppose I can use a lacrosse ball. I’ll give it a shot.

Not sure how easy it is to get a cricket ball over there but a softball to a baseball is probably the progression to comfortable small hard ball rolling.
