I've posted an update to the Snack Pack Annex (CLICK HERE) that I started last month. This month has information about stretching, focusing on Self Myofascial Release (SMR).
If you aren't familiar with SMR then I recommend that you definitely check it out. It is an aspect of flexibility training which can really take you help you in your fitness training or general exercise.
It is a form of soft tissue therapy that incorporates self massage using a foam roller. The process involves a gentle application of pressure to adhesions or "knots" and applying the pressure for a minimum of 20 to 30 seconds. This will stimulate neural activity which will help restore the body to optimum functioning.
SMR can be used pre-warm up or as part of your cool-down.
