Whether you are a runner, power lifter, or a novice or advanced athlete, it's crucial that you take care of your body so it can withstand your workout routines. Neglecting recovery can lead to a decrease in range of motion, lack of blood flow to your muscles, and injury. In this Foam Rolling Recovery tutorial, participants will learn how to use the gym's foam rollers in a variety of ways to avoid tissue damage and injury. Participants will receive a handout along with the lesson, and time will be reserved for individual questions.
