When checking out the Reebok foam roller, you have options depending on what kind of workout you hope to achieve. Since you want to develop a good, balanced routine, be sure to take advantage of all the different pieces of equipment that develop the various muscle groups. EscapeFitness.com lists comparisons and contrasts of the many different Reebok Foam Rollers that are available.
Remember the best way to decide what kind of device is the most appropriate for you is to discuss this with your personal trainer or local gym.
If you are on the lookout for a device that will make you more mobile and flexible at the same time tissue adhesion is broken down (and which will give you better flexibility) then you will probably require the Reebok Full Round Roller. The best thing about these rollers is that they come in more materials than just foam.
If you are a user who has a thicker hide than most and require deeper penetration during self-myofascial release, then you may want to invest in a polyurethane roller for more resistance during stretching. Please note that the full roller is designed for the user who is into some serious stretching and loosening of the muscle groups. This can be used for anyone from a boxer to a swimmer, as the roller is versatile enough to be applied to most stretching routines.
For people who are just starting out or for older users who are wishing to maintain a level of mobility, a half roller may be the choice. With these there is a greater level of stability for ground placement and you still get quite a lot of give like the full round version, but it limits the wide movement stretches.
The recommendation is that no matter which way you begin, either with a complete or half round roller, that you improve over time in relation to resistance. Just like any other workout, start off slowly and work up to your desired strength or fitness level. The roller is a workout tool, and has to be used in moderation and with a steady consistency just as with any other workout tool to obtain results. - 17944
