I'm having an affair....
with my foam roller. Haha! I'm sure I made you look. Here's my collection of foam rollers. You know it's serious when you have three of them and a Lacrosse ball to get out the tight spots. For me, these are invaluable tools especially when my IT Band is bothering me. I tend to foam roll daily before and after runs(part of getting old) and also another time before I go to bed. It seems to work well for me and since they are now part of my routine, I could not run without them.
From left to right, these are the Pro-tec Athletics roller, the TP Therapy Grid and the Rumble Roller. I use all of them depending on what I'm doing. I also use the Lacrosse ball infrequently when I need something really tough to roll out.

Heck yes. I try to foam roll once a day. Mine is smooth and not as torturous looking as yours.
ReplyDeleteMy IT bands craves them right now! Ha!
ReplyDeleteI don't foam roll as much as I should. I know all the things I should do but don't always do them (sigh). Good for you for being so diligent. I do have the TP grid and think it's so much better than the traditional foam roller.
ReplyDeleteI just have the smooth surface foam roller. Do you like the ones with the rigid in them better:? Which one would you say you like the best?
ReplyDeleteI use the TP Therapy Grid the most but the Rumble roller really digs in nicely when I need it deeper. Both are much better than a traditional foam roller.
DeleteWOWZERS!!!!! Those are some SERIOUS foam rollers!!!!! I'm so lame -- I hardly EVER foam roll anymore, but when I do -- it's the smooth surface kind. That tread looks hella intimidating -- I know you said it just depends on what you did, but which would you say is your favorite?
ReplyDeleteThe Grid then the Rumble Roller
DeleteI haven't foam rolled for many years and luckily because I haven't has a need for anything like that. Hopefully I keep it that way.
ReplyDeleteOur gym has the smooth kind and I usually use that there, but I do notice that our TP Grid roller always hurts (in a good way?) more. It's been cringe-worthy painful for my calves lately. I can't even imagine how bad that heavy-duty one might hurt if I can barely handle the grid!
