Foam Roller…couple of questions
-
@Empyrean
You might also take a look at Yamuna rolling balls. http://www.yamunabodyrolling.com/. There are three primary balls with different firmness to them.

I ordered one called” the grid” but it hasn’t gotten here yet.

I have the Grid, it is the one Alethea uses. I've only tried it once really need to to using it. I have Be Spuns dvd too need to whip that out and watch it.

I love my foam roller.I get sore everytime I climb, and practicing the caterpiller makes my shoulders and back scream for mercy the next day. the foam roller acts as a massage therapist, you controlling the amount of pressure. a blessing for sore muscles. An added bonus is what it does for tight hamstrings. I use it to help release the psoas and hammies, and I’m literally one inch away from splits now. I could ramble on forever on the different body parts positivelY affected since I got mine. I started off with a really basic roller,it came with the foam roller video I got when I purchased Leannes strength and conditioning set. I’m beyond pleased with all the videos, and highly recommend them.

Veena I cannot wait for your foam roller lessons! I had been meaning to subscribe to your lessons again and this thread gave me the push I needed!
I have recently discovered the foam roller and am IN LOVE with that thing!

another vote for foam roller lessons here. i just bought one at home but i mostly use it to stretch oversplits … so a very expensive yoga block. lol! i need some motivation!
-
I was wondering about the roller also! Sounds like a wonderful tool to have. I can't wait to see the Veena lessons 🙂

I just wanted to say: Thank you for creating this thread!
I hadnt even heard of foam rollers before, and after reading everything everyone has said decided to buy one almost a week ago, and its already my best friend. Its wonderful for my poor legs, and when I use it on my back it pops it nearly everytime becides reducing some of the knots. I just picked up the golds gym one from walmart, its cheeper then most of them online I think (paid $15) Im totally with Sassafrassle with the IT band, worst enemy there but it hurts so good. 🙂
Ive just use the litte guide that came with my roller and looking up some YT videos. But I do have a question for someone who has more experiance with them. Is there a good way of getting at your inner thigh (esp the upper part) I havent been able to find any videos or anything on that part of my leg. Any tips?

@boomloulou The BeSpun video is GREAT!!!
-
I have to add this as well. I was using my foam roller for my hamstrings the other day and my husband had to tell me to stop b/c is was turning him on!!! https://www.studioveena.com/img/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif LMAO!!!

Foam roller & hamstrings = happy.
