Piriformis-SMR

Foam roll Glutes

The Piriformis-SMR is a stretching movement that targets your glutes. Here's how to do it with clean form.

How to do the Piriformis-SMR

  1. Sit on the foam roller and cross one ankle over the opposite knee to expose the outer glute of the top leg.
  2. Shift your weight onto that side and roll slowly over the outer glute and hip.
  3. Pause 20–30 seconds on tender spots and breathe steadily through the pressure.
  4. Keep your supporting foot and both hands on the floor to control the load.
