Foam Roller

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 need a good video of how to roll out. Sometimes it just feels like I am doing it wrong (or working way too hard to do it). YouTube has a bunch; however, I would check the source for a qualified instructor. Here is one put out by the Cleveland Clinic: www.youtube.com/watch There are several other videos posted by the Mayo Clinic, and there was one by WebMD. All three sources are qualified. I would also trust videos posted by a physical therapist or certified trainer.
