Recovery
Are your muscles tight after a tough workout? Stretching and recovery is just as important as the actual exercise. Relieve some tension with this foam rolling routine from Barre Fitness.

If you don’t have a foam roller, try using a tennis ball, rubber ball or swimming pool foam tube if you have one. Otherwise foam rollers are fairly inexpensive, so it might be worth the investment to get one.
