A total-body program that uses a foam roller for every conceivable stretch type -- seated, lying, standing. First, you’ll reduce muscle tension with targeted, myofacial release exercises used by elite athletes (deep-muscle massages — from your neck to your toes). Then you’ll build flexibility and core strength with Pilates-style roller routines. Lawrence Biscontini’s one-on-one teaching is comprehensive and easy to understand. Using both technical and layman’s terms, he carefully cues each move, identifies the muscles you’re working and summarizes the benefits. Requires a 6” x 36” foam roller. ©2006.

The Foam Roller Workout |
| way too basic and no meu |
| I bought this video to stretch my body head to toe as described. I knew some basic foam roller moves and was looking for more than the basic inner/outer thigh, quad and glute moves, and did not get that. I did not find that every muscle group was stretched and I feel that the video is far too basic. I am at an advanced level although just coming back from pregnancy. The MFR component did show some nice variations on each exercise but there were too few actual moves. I didn't learn anything new and found it lacking content for the length. while everything is well explained, I found there was just to much chitchat. there is no DVD menu which is irritating for a video with two segments, especially for a DVD. - posted by Sara on 9/30/2009 |

| Excellent instruction |
| I bought this about a month ago and let's just say I never thought a foam roller would be such a useful piece of equipment. I use it mainly for stretch but I discovered with this great DVD that you can get a very decent core workout with it. I love the way Lawrence explains the moves, very clear and with a good explanation of the zones you're targeting. I think of this DVD more of an instructional than a workout, 'cause once you learn the moves, you really don't need to use it, but I love to, I'm lazy for remembering things and I like a lot the way Lawrence instructs, with a good mood and sense of humor. - posted by Gabytopo on 8/17/2009 |

| A wonderful surprise! |
| Sooo glad that I took a chance and bought this dvd. I had my eye on it for some time but there were no reviews so I put it off. The fact that it was not a staff favorite made me hesitate as well. Then finally someone gave this a positive review and I went for it. This comprehensive foam roller dvd is far more than I had orignally expected and Lawrence Biscontini certainly knows his way around the roller. You can use this dvd as a follow along or take a particular move and work with it to get the results you're looking for. I love love love the myofacial release exercises, and what a pleasant and challenging surprise the core workout is! This is a dvd I can grow with thus making it a keeper. Like a previous reviewer, I have Karen Voight's Sleek Essentials, but wanted an additional dvd for the foam roller and this takes it to a whole different level for me. Highly recommend if you are looking to get more out from your foam roller workouts. - posted by Angela M on 8/8/2009 |

| Who is this guy! |
| I had never heard of Lawrence Biscontini until getting this video and I think he's great! Really knows the body and how to teach. The studio, music and his approach were very pleasant and he showed so much diversity with the foam roller, yoga poses, pilates core work and balance exercises along with the massage. Some to advanced for me but will definitely give me "homework". Refreshing! - posted by Katie on 7/8/2009 |

| Must Have for all Workout Warriors and Wanna Be Warriors |
| I purchased this DVD to have an alternate workout to use my "Karen Voight Sleek Essentials" foam roller. I am so glad I did! I use this on my recovery/rest days and it has really enhanced my peformance and results when using other DVDs in my library - I am more limber and can push myself further and my results have improved. This workout is equivalent to having an athletic massage but you can DIY (do it yourself). It massaged every muscle in my body, I felt totally relaxed and yet energized when I finished. I also have the most restful sleeps the evening of using this DVD. The instructor is a true professional with great cueing, excellent knowledge of the muscular system and a wonderful sense of humour - laughing is an excellent stress reliever! He wasn't kidding when he said "you may be in tears while doing this". Although I workout 5-6 times per week at an intermediate/advanced level, I still experience occassional muscle soreness. Whenever I feel soreness or just want to give myself a self-massage treat, I just pop in this DVD. I would recommend this to all "Workout Warriors" as a must have for your DVD workout library as a reward, a tool for beginners to use before starting an exercise regime to prep your body for training, as well as a remedy for muscle stiffness and pain for anyone (regardless of fitness level or age). If you don't have the foam roller, treat yourself and purchase "Karen Voight's Sleek Essentials Kit" - it comes with a very high quality roller and her workouts are excellent! You will get maximum bang for your buck. - posted by Marilyn Rae on 3/1/2009 |
