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.

Muscles worked

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 and reps set in the plan, logged in two taps, and folded into a weekly check-in that adjusts your calories, macros and step goal.
