Our Point of View on Gaiam Foam Rollers From Amazon

Hello, I'm Nina with WTI. This is my foam roller. I do consider this a harder firmer foam roller, but it's not the hardest that I've ever used. There's so many uses for this. Most people are familiar with like sideline, doing their IT band stretches on it, but you can also put it on the floor and put your spine on it facing up just as a nice postural stretch. So this is a really good one. I've had it for years and I've had a cat that's been scratching it and it still holds up great. I'll just show you, I'll give you a little sample of some things you could do on it. Take some ideas. So most people are familiar with myofascial release on it. So wherever you're trying to release, you would roll on that area. Here's a nice IT band. You could do your hamstrings or you could flip over and do your quads. One that people are not as familiar with is just the spine stretch. So I'll show that to you. So you're going to get on it carefully. You're sitting on it, you're going to swivel, you're facing up. It is a full round circle foam roller. So you have to be careful that it doesn't roll and you know you get kind of twisted there. So just laying on it, I'm feeling a gentle spine stretch, which is reversing my horrible computer posture. So already I'm feeling good. And then if you want to increase your time on this, you could find something else to do. You know, you could do your pec stretches, you could do if you have Theravans, you could do some arm exercises on here. So great, great tool to have. Especially if you're spending more time at home, more time at your desk. I feel like this is a really good tool to have at home. So I love it. And that's my point of view.
