Best Injury-Preventing Exercises

Keep quads loose and strains at bay with this foam-rolling technique.

• Resting on your stomach, place the roller under the front of your thighs, lifting yourself into a basic plank position on your elbows.
• Pull with your arms to roll up and down the length of the quad. Do not roll over your knee joint.
• Continue this movement for 30 to 60 seconds.
