Lateral Body: 6-17

Equipment needed: 1. Foam Roller. 2. Padded Mat (optional).

We are starting off with a foam roller muscle/fascia release for your obliques, quadratus lomborum, lats, and posterior rotator cuff to name a few.

This is a great routine for those that sit a lot, and/or have tight/painful backs.
