This is the Body-Area Session Player set to its before-a-workout mode: tap the areas you want ready on the body map, pick 5, 10 or 15 minutes and the equipment you have, and follow a timed session of 321 STRONG roll videos with a countdown for each side. Before a workout the session leads with short rolling passes at moderate pressure, and any stretches come last and stay brief. A recorded voice names each move as it starts, says when to switch sides and counts down the last three seconds, so you can keep your eyes off the screen; switch it off before you start if you would rather train to beeps or silence. The minutes always add up to what you picked. Follow the rolling with a few minutes of dynamic movement for your sport, such as leg swings, hip circles or easy jogging, so you finish warm and ready rather than just loose.

## Frequently Asked Questions
   
### Should I foam roll before or after a workout?
 Both work, for different reasons, and this page covers the before case. Rolling in a warm-up improves short-term range of motion without the power cost that long static stretching carries, which is why it belongs at the front of the session. Rolling afterwards is about soreness and stiffness in the days that follow.

  
### How long should a warm-up take?
 Five to fifteen minutes, scaled to the session ahead. A heavy lifting session or a hard interval workout justifies the full fifteen; an easy aerobic session does not. The player splits whatever time you pick across the areas you tap, so a five-minute warm-up still reaches every area.

  
### Is dynamic stretching better than static stretching before exercise?
 Before exercise, yes. Long static holds before power or strength work have a measurable short-term cost to force production. Dynamic movement raises tissue temperature, rehearses the ranges you are about to load, and does not carry that penalty. Save long static holds for after the session.

  
### Which areas should I roll before a workout?
 The ones the session will load. Runners usually pick calves, thighs and hips; lifters pick the upper back, hips and thighs; cyclists pick thighs, hips and the lower back. Tap those on the body map and the player picks the matching videos.

  
### Can I foam roll as my entire warm-up?
 No. Rolling improves range, but it does not raise body temperature or rehearse movement patterns, and both of those matter for performance. Use the rolling session first and follow it with a few minutes of dynamic movement for your sport.
