A how-to guide on effectively using the LyfeFocus Foam Roller

Target individual muscle groups at one time.

Very slowly roll up and down the muscle, taking roughly 3-4 seconds to complete the movement.

Locate knots in the muscle - take your time and look out for ‘trigger point’ knots in the muscle.

Once you locate a trigger point, pause on it for 20 seconds whilst breathing deeply, allowing the muscle to relax over the roller.

Target particularly sore or tense areas by leaning into them, using your body weight and creating added pressure. This can usually be achieved by lifting up the legs or hips off the ground.

Tips

• Take slow, deep breaths, in and out as you use the foam roller. Some discomfort is natural when targeting tender spots and knots in your muscles.
• Apply what is the right amount of pressure for you.
• Drink plenty of water before and after use.
