Recovery & Mobility

Progress isn't just in your training, but also in what you do afterwards. Those who remain stiff train less effectively and are more prone to injury. This category is about that in-between part.

Massage gun or foam roller?

A foam roller targets large muscle groups: quads, hamstrings, calves, and your back. A massage gun is more precise and better for smaller areas like your shoulder or the sole of your foot. Many people use the roller before training and the gun afterwards.

Resistance bands for your mobility

With a resistance band with loops, you can gradually deepen a stretching exercise without forcing it. Useful for hamstrings, hips, and shoulders, and widely used in physiotherapy exercise programs.

How often?

Five to ten minutes after your workout is enough, provided you keep it up. Consistency here does more than foam rolling for half an hour once a month until your eyes cross.
