Spring has arrived, and with that I have noticed more people outside running. Whether you're a new runner or and experienced runner, sometimes we can over do it and the end result tends to be sore muscles.
Sometimes I find the most painful sore muscles can be the calf muscles, so with that being said, I thought I'd provide you with an excellently effective foam roller exercise that will take away that tension in your calf muscles.

How To:
Sit on the ground with your legs straight, left leg crossed over the right, with the roller under your right calf.
Lift your bum off the ground so that your weight is supported by your hands and the roller.
Roll the length of your calf from the back of your knee to the Achilles tendon.
Repeat for 30 to 60 seconds and switch legs.
Tip: When you find a really sore spot, stay still and let the flesh of the muscles sink into the roller.
Take Care,
Leanne.
