Roll out a tight calf with a rolling pin

Use a rolling pin or bottle to massage your calves.

Why it helps

Rolling sore muscles can feel good and ease tightness. A rolling pin works if you have no roller.

How to do it

1. Sit on the floor with a rolling pin under your calf.
2. Roll slowly up and down.
3. Spend one minute on each leg.

Make it easier

Press lightly.

Make it harder

Stack one leg on top for more pressure.

Avoid joints and painful areas.
