How to perform it

  1. This exercise stretches the fascia of the muscles in the feet. Start off seated with your shoes removed. Using a foot roller or a similar object, such as a small section of pvc pipe, place your foot against the roller across the arch of your foot. This will be your starting position.
  2. Press down firmly, rolling across the arch of your foot. Hold for 10-30 seconds, and then switch feet.

The Foot-SMR primarily targets your Calves. You'll need other.

Make it count toward your goal

Random sets rarely move the needle. In NYUS, the Foot-SMR slots into a plan built for your goal — sets, reps and progression auto-suggested, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly review that adapts what comes next.
