Welcome to the second installation of our four-part travel training series. This episode is designed specifically for the layover portion of your airline travel. In this video, we will cover five foam rolling exercises that will help you work out some of the kinks from your flight. I have chosen the following combinations to target the areas of your body most impacted from sitting in a compact airline seat for an extended period of time.

 

**Based on your individual needs, I recommend spending 30 seconds to two minutes on each foam rolling exercise, focusing on the following areas:**

- Hamstrings
- Quads
- IT Bands
- Thoracic Spine
- Lats
