Foam RollerToday’s home office fitness challenge isn’t really a task for you to complete. It’s more like a recommended resource that you may want to incorporate into your workday. This simple and inexpensive piece of equipment will help you loosen up your back, massage your legs, and improve your posture.

This easy to use piece of home office fitness equipment is called a Foam Roller. The foam roller cost less than $16 and has multiple uses. Here’s a video demonstration of some of the wonderful and effective uses of the foam roller…

How To Use A Foam Roller


Fat Loss Quickie

One of the most simple yet effective uses of the foam roller is laying down on it with your spine resting on the foam roller. I recommend that you take a one to two minute break each hour to lay down on the foam roller. This will stretch out the muscles along the spine and get some fresh blood flowing to those muscles. This is great for loosening up your middle back and providing relief to the muscles between your shoulder blades.

You can also massage your legs by rolling on the foam roller. I provide demonstrations in the video above. I personally have a tight I-T band (iliotibial band) and the foam roller has become my greatest asset in providing relief to that specific tight area of my legs.

The foam roller isn’t a required piece of equipment for your home office workouts but it certainly is a complimentary piece of home office fitness equipment that will provide you with a variety of benefits when you use it regularly.

Angie and I use the foam roller frequently throughout the day. Two times that we really enjoy using it are first thing in the morning and prior to going to bed. It’s great to just lay down on it, relax, and reflect on your day.
