Foam Roller Calf Roll
Beginner

Exercise Parameters
Instructions

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
