The Foam Roller Calf Roll is a self-myofascial release technique designed to target the calf muscles, helping reduce tension and improve mobility. By using bodyweight pressure against a foam roller, you can release tightness in the gastrocnemius and soleus muscles. This exercise is ideal for recovery, warming up before training, or enhancing flexibility.
Sit on the floor with your legs extended and place a foam roller under one calf
Cross the opposite leg on top for added pressure if needed
Support yourself with your hands behind you, lifting your hips slightly off the ground
Slowly roll the calf muscle from the ankle up to just below the knee
Pause and apply gentle pressure on tender spots before continuing
Switch to the other leg after completing the repetitions
Roll slowly and avoid rushing through the movement
Use small back-and-forth motions on sore spots for better release
Breathe steadily to stay relaxed and allow muscles to loosen
