So check out the below video that has tips on how to use your foam roller, plus three great foam-rolling exercises!

I *love* the foam roller — my trainer got me into them a few years ago due to lower back pain while I was finishing up my doctoral thesis. It has since become part of my regular workout regime and also something I’ll do “around the house” when I feel tightness.
The first few times I used the roller on my lower back, I described the relief the roller brings as a “nuclear bomb of muscular relief” going off. 🙂
In fact, I’m taking my roller to NY this weekend to roll my back over the turkey-day weekend holiday with the family!
Great video — as with the rest of the FBG stuff, you have a very refreshing, positive, down-to-earth, presentation style. Rock (er, roll) on!
Thank you for the info! I just got one for Xmas 🙂
