Foam Roller Lat Stretch
- Lay on your side comfortably on a yoga mat or soft workout surface. Your upper leg should be bent with your knee pointing upwards and the sole of your foot flat on the floor behind your grounded calf. This will keep you balanced
- When ready, place a foam roller under your side running perpendicular to your body
- Lean back a little so that the foam roller remains in contact with your latissimus muscle
- Apply a little pressure and gently roll up and down, using your bent leg to control your movement, to release tension in your lat muscles
