5 Foam Roller Exercises To Relieve Tension After A Long Flight

These will ensure you enjoy every hour of your trip.

They say it's about the journey, not the destination. But when you're traveling six-plus hours to get somewhere sunny, sandy and warm, drinking a piña colada on the beach sounds a whole lot better than sipping on a seltzer in a plane's middle seat next to two space-invading strangers. Destination wins.

To make sure the consequences of your journey -- like the aches and pains from sitting on a cramped plane for too long -- don't get in the way of you enjoying your destination, take a few tips from alignment specialist Lauren Roxburgh in the video above. She demonstrates five different foam rolling exercises that can limber you up after a long flight, which will help you make the best of your much-deserved vacation.

You can invest in a travel-friendly foam roller or call your hotel ahead of time to see if the gym is equipped with one. Just a few minutes spent rolling out your muscles will amp up your relaxation factor by a landslide.
