Went to a clinic given by Anthony Ervin a few months ago and he swears by foam rollers as part of his warm up before training. Today, my yoga instructor also recommended getting one. Seems like it's time to invest in one. She (yoga) said that I didn't need to get a long one and Anthony Ervin didn't say what kind he would recommend. Anyone have experience with foam rollers and can recommend a type to get and exercises or videos to follow? Thanks.
I am new to this website (just joined this week) and have been perusing the discussions. This piqued my interest because I too took a couple of clinics from Tony Ervin (LOVE HIM!) and I totally agree with his advice on the roller. Take the time to look up information on the MELT roller (as well as the MELT method). I've taken SEVERAL different classes given by personal trainers as well as other roller technicians who swear by the MELT roller. It is definitely softer but still very effective. It's a lot easier to hurt yourself with some of the others. It's worth doing the little extra research before throwing away hard earned cash.
