re: Traditionalvalues

What if I'm saying happy holidays so I can cover the Jewish people celebrating the first night of Hanukkah...or maybe I wanted my message to extend through the New Years Day holiday? You didn't consider that did you?

The reason people said happy holidays originally was to cover Christmas and New Years..not to be 'inclusive' or buck tradition. Plus yesterday was Festivus so if anything I should of said happy festivus- and in that case not only would I take you down in a feat of strength I'd launch some grievances against you for rushing to judgements

there fixed it for you

Foam rollers are a great tool. I really like using it for fascia release in my calves.

re: hobbyjogs4life

The benefit in foam rolling may simply be a result of the time spent doing a physical activity that is different from the standing/running/sitting that you do the rest of the day. Giving your body a varied activity (like foam rolling) allows the muscles/tendons a moderate stress stimulus in a different way than the normal stresses (running/standing) that you body deals with the majority of the time. The moderate stress stimulus of the foam roller could promote blood flow and recovery that is better than what you would probably be doing instead of foam rolling, i.e. sitting on your couch, or at your computer. Using the foam roller is just another varied activity like moderate yoga, stretching, or whatever. If you went out in the yard and pulled weeds for 10 minutes 3 times a week, you may notice a similar benefit.

re: celery

Foam rolling has nothing to do with getting faster. It has to do with injury prevention

I keep a foam roller by the TV in our great room. I seem to be less sore the next day when I use it.

I've used them on and off for 20 years. I bought lots of lacrosse balls when sports authority went out of business, my team likes them better than foam rollers.

Merry Christmas to all of you.

I have a hunch there's one of those "stick" thingies under the tree for me in the morning. I tried it in the store and it does seem like it "refreshes the part other rollers cannot reach".
