Intro: Foam rolling isn’t just for post-leg day soreness. It’s a performance enhancer, recovery tool, and body awareness builder. And most people don’t do it nearly enough.

This RB100 Challenge asks you to commit to 100 minutes of foam rolling per week — that’s around 15 minutes a day — to improve flexibility, reduce pain, and recover smarter.


Why Foam Rolling Works

  • Releases muscle tension and myofascial tightness
  • Increases blood flow to tissues for better recovery
  • Improves range of motion and mobility
  • Can reduce DOMS (delayed onset muscle soreness)

How to Structure Your Foam Rolling Time

  • Daily mini-sessions: 10–15 mins post-workout or before bed
  • Target priority zones: quads, glutes, calves, upper back, hamstrings
  • Breathe deeply: exhale and relax into the pressure
  • Stay slow: 1 inch per second for maximum effect

100 Minutes / Week Example Plan

  • Mon–Fri: 15 minutes after training
  • Sat: 10 minutes morning + 10 minutes evening
  • Sun: 20-minute recovery flow with foam roller and breathwork

Tools That Help

  • Standard foam roller (smooth or textured)
  • Trigger point ball or peanut roller for back and glutes
  • Yoga mat for floor support
  • Timer, stretching playlist, or guided video
