After you've dominated your workout, you should take some time to cool your body down with practices like stretching and foam rolling. If that's a rarity for you, you're probably reading this with extremely tight shoulders and hamstrings. To perform at a high level and reach your goals, you've got to do more than just lift heavy; you've got to allow your body to rest and recover.
To help keep your body in tip-top shape, POPSUGAR enlisted Kajuan Douglas, founder of Merge New York and certified yoga instructor, for a flow that will help ease your tight muscles.
