It's using a foam roller on your body parts to sort of iron out any stiff or sore spots. Also referred to as self myofascial release.
You get a foam cylinder (like
this), plop down on the floor and roll out your muscles of choice. (
This video illustrates the basics.)
It's like getting a great massage from your boyfriend (or girlfriend) without that pesky guilt about reciprocating.
Makes me want to do it right now. If I wasn't all gussied up for Easter, I'd be down on the floor in a heartbeat. I think it's safe to say if you're wearing heels, you have no business stretching on the floor. Not unless you're getting MONDO tips for it.
