New session! Foam Roll Reset: Lower back, Hamstrings, Glutes
Hey Team,
Today’s session came at the right time for me. It’s only Wednesday, and this week has already been full. I’ve recorded, coached a few classes, and trained jiu-jitsu. Nothing crazy on its own, but when it all stacks up, you feel it. For me, it showed up in my lower back. Not injured. Just tight, sore, and that general “worked” feeling that builds up when you’ve been moving a lot.
Instead of squeezing in another lift or conditioning session, I went with this reset.
I jokingly call it the “poor man’s massage.” It’s simply a little mobility to get things moving, then foam rolling through the glutes, hamstrings, hip flexors, and QL. But honestly, sometimes simple is exactly what the body needs. Slow passes. Steady breathing. No rushing.
What I’ve learned over time is that recovery doesn’t have to be dramatic to be effective. You don’t always need a full day off, nor do you always need another hard workout. Sometimes 10–15 minutes of focused reset work can make the rest of your week feel better.
By the end of this one, my back felt looser, my hips felt less stiff, and I could tell I made the right call.
If you’ve been stacking workouts, sitting a lot, or just feeling tight through the lower back, this might be a good one to add to your weekly routine.
Do you usually build recovery into your week, or do you wait until your body tells you it’s time?
