Whether in training for a specific sport or event or working out to reach a particular goal, we all want that heart-bursting-through-the-chest feeling — it means we’re really pushing ourselves to the limit. Sometimes we get that feeling by sprinting or running long distances, lifting our max at the gym, working our butts off in a group fitness class like boot camp, or by out-hustling others on the court or on the field. But wouldn’t you want to know just when that feeling will hit? Wouldn’t you want to monitor, gauge, and track it? For most, a heart rate monitor can do just that.

6 Foam Roller Moves Your Body Is Craving
Self Myofascial Release (SMR) or foam rolling is a technique that focuses on improving the neuromuscular and fascial systems in the body that can be compromised by poor posture, repetitive motions, or dysfunctional movements, thus creating muscle spasms that ultimately lead to adhesions (more commonly known as knots). These adhesions reduce the elasticity of the muscles and lead to altered muscular control and muscle imbalance. SMR focuses on alleviating these adhesions to restore optimal muscle length and function.
