The benefits of a post-workout massage can help remove lactic acid from the muscles, prevent injury and improve flexibility. But instead of spending $60 per hour a few times per week, a $40 foam roller can give you many of the same benefits.

These simple exercises target six of the most overworked and injured muscle groups among cyclists and triathletes.
