Foam Roller Exercises for the Gastrocnemius Muscles (Calves) and Anterior Tibialis Muscles (Shins)

From http://www.bodywindow.com: A short meditative video for those who wish to reconnect with their body-mind-soul while doing foam roller exercises and stretches for the gastrocnemius muscles of the calves and anterior tibialis muscles of the shins. Really sink into the calf stretches and the shin splint stretches! Remember to b-r-e-a-t-h-e deeply and really feel the movement. Go as slowly or as quickly as your intuition dictates and stop and hold at any hot spot. Repeat the sequence as often as your heart desires.

Yes I am. However, you can increase the pressure to one side to focus on one shin at a time by crossing your legs at your ankles and rolling the lower one. Get ready though, that movement can feel intense. I should have shown it in the video. See my full article on my website for more info. Just google the Body Window and click on foam rolling tab and go to gastroc/anterior tib article at the bottom.
