CrossFit Hacks: Foam Roller

Foam rolling (you hate or you like it) is a good way to relax
your muscles after a big work-out and improve mobility.
What it's also good for, is marketing and making lots of money, and spending $50,- on a foam roller is just not an option for everyone.
We felt the same and wondered if there was a cheaper option with the same result.
Enter: the foam roller hack.



You need:

1 pvc pipe, about 50cm long and 10-15cm in diameter
1 foam yoga mat
super glue
duct tape (yeah!!)

Tip: don't super glue your fingers

The foam mat we used got mangled and chewed on by one of our cats, (hence the marks) and cost about €3,- euros. The pvc pipe cost us €3,70 (so about $9,-total)
Tape the yoga mat to the pipe on 1 edge, drizzle some super glue on the mat and roll it up tightly.
Cut off the remaining part of the mat and secure with duct tape. Done.

The Result
