Move your body, day 18: Treat yourself with a self-massage

You've been working hard. Treat yourself to a relaxing back massage via foam roller.

DAY 18 OF 25 Back self-massage You've been working hard. Treat yourself to a relaxing back massage via foam roller. Rest days are just as important as your workouts, anyway. Not only will the foam roller knead those tight upper back muscles, but you'll be getting a good quads and glutes stretch as your legs do the real work. This will also get your muscles ready for tomorrow's workout.  Duration: Do it for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Instructions: Lie on your back, placing the foam roller underneath your shoulder blades. Prop yourself up with your feet, raising your knees so your glutes are off the floor. Start rolling your way down. Focus and hold on the tight knots for at least 10 seconds.  Tomorrow: Channel your inner Superman to strengthen your core and back.
