5 Minute Foam Rolling Routine is led by Traci Copeland from Well + Good. This was a very quick little lower body foam rolling routine. Perfect if you do not have a lot of time. You will roll out 5 different lower body muscle groups, doing each side individually. Each muscle group is foam rolled for 30 seconds. There is a timer at the bottom of the screen, counting down each 30 second interval. In the upper right hand of the screen is a square that counts down your intervals–there are ten intervals. I used my ridged rumble roller to get the most out of this short practice. In fact, I added this onto the end of a lower body strength workout then did a long, deep lower body stretch. So it worked as a quick little massage after my workout and before my stretch. If you need something more, then this obviously isn’t for you. There are longer and more thorough foam rolling routines out there but this is nice if you are short on time.
