Exercise Description
Glute Foam Roll reduces the sourness and tightness of working out, especially the glutes. Tight glutes are often the root cause of pain and discomfort in other areas of your body. However, foam rolling your glute muscles allows you to access your piriformis, a muscle located deep within the glutes, which is a great way to relieve lower back pain indirectly.
Exercise Instructions

Step 1

Step 2
Supporting your weight with your arms, slowly roll the foam roller back a few inches under the buttocks of the extended leg. -
