It’s How We Roll: 15 min Foam Rolling Video

#HurtSoGood! Last week I had the joy of filming a short foam rolling video with the team from Best Health Magazine.

Foam Rolling is a form of self-myofascial release, or self-massage, that gets rid of knots in your muscles and connective tissue. It also increases blood flow to your muscles and creates better mobility, helping with recovery and improving performance.

I shared some of the sequencing we use at Tribe during our 60-minute Roll Out class (which happens on Monday and Wednesday evenings at 8pm and Saturdays at 12pm).

Watch the video here and join us at Tribe for your post workout recovery!

BEST HEALTH MAGAZINE: 10-Minute Tuneup: September

Get Sculpted Abs

An activated core is crucial no matter the time of year. Sure it’s great during the summer, but as we head into ski season balance and stability are vital. Having a strong center will keep you  stable and safe on the slopes.

Get moving with these seven ab sculpting moves designed by Stephanie Joanne, and demonstrated by me for  Oakley Active and Best Health Magazine .
