$20 foam roller. As someone who lifts weights, runs long distance, but also sits at a desk for 8+ hours a day, my body gets so incredibly tight by the end of the day. As soon as I get home I spend 20-30 minutes working on mobility from my neck down to my ankles. The foam roller helps a lot with that. It's painful but I feel so much better after.

What mobility program (if any) do you follow? Definitely been feeling a lot of tightness lately, but not sure where to begin with the foam roller.
I recommend Limber 11 to get started: https://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/limber-11-the-only-lower-bo...

Eventually you'll need to fine tune the program according to your needs. Becoming A Supple Leopard is basically the encyclopedia for mobility programs/exercises: https://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Supple-Leopard-2nd-Performan...
