Day 3

It’s another exercise day! And today, we foam roll! Fun fact: foam rolling days are my favorite days :) 

Here is your Challenge for today: 

• Step #1: Learn:

  • Watch this short clip where I teach lower body foam rolling.

    *Note: This is just a short clip of a much longer exercise video, to keep things simple. If you want to watch the longer instructional video, you can watch that here.
    

• Step #2: Modify:

  • If you would prefer a non-floor option, please watch this modification video, to learn how to do it standing or sitting in a chair. 
    

• Step #3: Practice:

  • Foam rolling doesn’t have repetitions like other exercises do. So, follow these recommendations instead:

    • If you are new to foam rolling, I recommend just learning and playing around. See how it feels (either with the regular or modified). Don’t spend more than 10-15 minutes foam rolling if you are new; we don’t want to overwork your body. 

    • If you have foam rolled before, I recommend going through all of the body parts: the calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, and finding a few knots to release. Don’t worry about getting to all of those knots, we will come back to foam rolling again. A little bit at a time goes a long way.
      

• Step #4: Share!

  • Foam rolling is quite an experience, yes? Did you love it? Hate it? Do you hate to love it or love to hate it? Click here to post on the Facebook Group and tell us about it. 

Remember: slow and steady wins the race, and a little bit goes a long way. 

I believe in you! You ARE Autoimmune Strong!

In Strength + Love. 

Your Coach, 
Andrea
