This particular sequence goes through: ITB's, hamstrings, glutes then repeat on opposite leg;
calves together (you can
roll them individually when that gets easy by throwing the other leg on top, as shown); side of lower leg — muscles called the peroneals; tibialis anterior — shin
area; inner thighs or adductors; quads; and last the TFL which is between your ITB and quad at the top of your leg just below your pelvis.
if you
roll out the targeted
area for about 5 minutes, you will notice a very quick release in tension and an increase in blood circulation to the
area, helping to reduce your
calf, quad, IT bands or hamstring cramps tremendously.
To keep the exercise session short, begin with foam

Follow up the

rolling provides, focusing extra attention on the lats, pecs, hip flexors, groin, and
calves — the most commonly tight
areas.
