Sitting on the ground with your legs stretched out in front of you, place the balls underneath your thigh. Putting your hands behind you, press your leg down and slide the balls down your thigh. Repeat on the other leg.
You can also place the balls on the side of the hip. Release your weight slowly on the balls and feel your muscle relax. To target the quads and IT bands, place the tennis balls on the floor perpendicular to your legs and lay on top of them so the balls run across your thighs. Keeping your upper body propped up on your forearms, roll up and down to massage.
