Foam roller

I know this has been discussed ad nauseum, but search blows, so I am asking again.Stick out tongue

I am going to get a foam roller this week -- I had a sports massage and the therapist old me my IT bands were a wreck. Tell me about yours and where you got it. I am psyched and scared.

Re: Foam roller

  • I have a shorter one (like 24" maybe?) and got it from amazon for pretty cheap. It seems to do the job. I use the really long ones at the Y and they're so awkward for me to control.

  • I have this one from RunningWarehouse.com, it's 35" long. I like the long ones because if you use a short one and don't line up exactly perpendicular to it, you can roll right off the end. Plus Running Warehouse is always free shipping and returns.

  • I got a JFit from Amazon. I like the long length so that I can work on my larger muscles groups and back with no problem.
  • I was about to order one from Amazon this week but then I was in line at TJMAXX yesterday and they had a 24" roller for $14!  I grabbed it and used it last night and it hurt so good :)  
  • Thank you everyone!!

    I might have to swing by TJ Max today :)
