In our inaugural Fitness Friday blog, Laura introduced us to the foam roller. This is one of the most important pieces of equipment you can have in your home gym — and by “home gym” I’m talking about that stretch of floor between your couch and TV. š
The foam roller is a great for lots of things – from rolling out sore muscles to releasing your back. In this week’s installment of Friday Fitness, Laura shows us an exercise that will helpĀ to correct that shoulder slump we all seem to have while at the same time releasing your back and accessing often under-used muscles. Watch the video and you’ll see what I mean.
Laura ColemanĀ rocked my world a few years back when she helped me get to the root of all the knee and lower-back issues I’d had since my teens. In just a couple of sessions, Laura put me on a simple program of rehab exercises (unlike any I’d ever seen before) that brought my body back into alignment and actually fixed the problem that no physiotherapist, massage therapist, or chiropractor had ever been able to solve. I was hooked! We’ve been terrific friends and shared many clients since, and I’m delighted that she has offered to share her wisdom with all of you via this FitnessĀ FridayĀ video series. Laura lives in Portland, OR with her two gorgeous daughters. She works her magic at Club Sport and with clients all over the continent via the magic of technology (aka Skype). Check out her blog and websiteĀ here.
