If anyone wants a quick mobility routine...

I do a full round of the mobility work (15 reps and not the warmup section) every morning within 15 minutes of getting out of bed. It has done wonders for my mobility, and my attitude in the morning (not a morning person and doing this makes me less grumpy).

Another exercise that is in vogue these days is foam rolling. I'm trying to see how it helps, but I'm not sure what kinds of changes I'd notice and after how many sessions.

I always stretched after every workout, but it was half-hearted because I was tired.

Only in the past 3 months have I gotten serious about it. And part of my stretching routine is foam rolling. I'll stretch, feel some tightness, roll the area, and re-stretch. Usually on the second stretch, I can go deeper into the stretch.

but it is the most painful part of my workout. I've probably cursed a little more than I should when I roll my IT bands.

Always after the workout?
