Foam Roll Lats

Starting Position 1. Place a foam roller on the floor and lie on your side so that your latissimus dorsi (side of back) is positioned on the foam roller. 2. Place your bottom arm on the floor for upper body support, and extend your top arm to maintain a comfortable position. 3. Keep your bottom leg straight or bend the knee for balance. During Exercise 1. Slowly roll back and forth, allowing the foam roller to massage the entire latissimus dorsi area. 2. Slightly adjust your arm position to target different areas of the muscle. 3. When you find a tight or tender spot, pause there and breathe deeply. 4. Repeat the same process on the other side. Breathing Breathe slowly and deeply throughout the exercise. When you find tight spots, exhale while feeling the muscle release and relax.
