GaiamRestore Foam Roller for Muscle Massage - Deep Tissue Muscle Massager for Sore Muscles & Stimulation - Total Body Pain Relief, Back, Neck, Foot, Calf, Leg, Arm (18 Inch and 36 Inch)

I like this foam roller for home use. It's long enough to lay on from Sacrum up to head so I can let my shoulders drop to the mat and do various exercises. It works great rolling out Quads and I.T. Bands. Color is great and foam is good quality. Fits the bill for me! Thanks!

This is nothing fancy, it's just a cylinder of foam. It seems to be fairly durable, but if a dog or child chewed on it, it could definitely degrade fairly easily. It seems like it will last a good while if stored properly though, and it feels nice to stretch your back on; recommended.

Purchased another brand that described their roller as soft and it was anything but. Trying to use it caused me so much pain and soreness. I bought this one as a replacement. Once I tried this one out the other one felt like I had been rolling on a brick. Oh my goodness, this is exactly what I was looking for. A very simple tool, but it works wonders. It is dense, but has give and is so helpful for stretching and waking up muscles, as well as, recovery such as working out sore or tight muscles.

The foam roller definitely helps strengthen your muscles and stretch your back; however, the foam is pretty hard and you should take it easy at first. If you rush through a workout you may find yourself being unprepared and you may experience some back pain at first. It does get easier and better the more you work out with it.Great product, I would recommend this to a friend. Follow the video and don't rush through the work out. The foam could've been a little softer but hey it's all good. Drink plenty of water, have a nice day readers. :)

Best foam roller for shoulders to bottom. Too thick for neck. But overall this is one of the best foam rollers I’ve owned. Lightweight but firm.

This foam roller has changed my life. Stiff and tight muscles in my back and legs are worked out on my own time and with me choosing the pressure and speed of the "strokes". Even more remarkable is my husband's improved back because of daily use of this roller. He used to have horrible back pain and knotted up QL's in his lower back. He rolls his back out and stretches that low back gently and is almost completely back pain free. We take our foam roller on vacation with us, it is that important.If you are a runner you probably have tight IT bands. This roller is perfect to stretch and work out the tension in your leg muscles. It may be painful if your muscles are super tight but it gets better the more consistent you are.This roller comes with a DVD. I have never watched it.

This is my first foam roller experience. I am a total beginner. It was recommended to me to help with low back pain and tight hips. I received this item very quickly and was eager to try it out. The sizing is only 18" long and I had read for beginners to try a shorter length roller. First off the roller is so hard. It almost hurt just to lay on it. I was excited it came with a DVD to show me how to properly use the roller. The DVD has the instructor using a long 36" foam roller. Some of the exercises are harder to perform using a shorter roller. I did a few of the exercises, but felt it was just too hard and the experience was more painful than expected. I was so sore the next day. I decided I purchase a softer foam roller as well as a longer one too. I will keep this one for when I am more advanced with the roller.If you are a beginner and not used to foam rolling, this roller is rock hard.

Ive bought 2 of these so i can keep one at my place and one at my girlfriends so i always have it available! Best back roller ive found, just the right amount of give so it doesn’t bruise your back but enough firmness to crack all those nots out of there!! Totally recommend! Two thumbs up!
