FITNESS by Laura Roberson July 28, 2013, 06:58 am EDTRoll before you run. Using a foam roller on your muscles during a warmup may help you power through your workout, according to a new study in the Journal of Strength and Conditioning Research.
People who foam-rolled their legs, upper body, and lower back for 10 minutes before exercising felt less fatigued while doing agility drills than those who didn’t roll it out.
Translation: You may be able to exercise longer and harder, says study author Disa Hatfield, Ph.D., of the University of Rhode Island.
Try a roller with a PVC core, like the Foam Roller Plus ($40, performbetter.com); the solid center helps the foam keep its shape.
