Whether as a warm-up before exercise or for active recovery afterward, you can use the foam roller to do both for your thighs. The only thing that matters is whether you roll quickly or slowly. And even if you’ve spent the whole day sitting—the foam roller is a real treat for your thighs. Your adductors may ache a bit when you roll them out with the foam roller, but this is a “good kind of pain,” because afterward, your thighs are guaranteed to feel more relaxed. So get started right away and make foam roller training a regular part of your thigh routine.

If you roll briskly over the foam roller, the exercises have an activating effect. Ideal for preparing for intense workouts.
