Just a piece of foam?

I have to share one of the best fitness tools I've come across recently - a foam roller. If I have a muscle ache (or a few!) I just grab my roller and ease muscle soreness in just a few minutes. That's what happened this weekend after a long run and weights session - I spent some time stretching and using the roller and it made an enormous difference!

Question: What works for you?

    I take a warm bath in two or three cups of Epsom salts.

    I'm a big fan of the foam roller as well, but when I travel and want something less bulky to keep my muscle tissue on the up and up, I use "The Stick"

    It works wonders on the calves and areas where the foam roller can't hit that easily.

    Lots and lots of hot yoga keep me flexible, stable, balanced - mentally & physically, and cleansed.
