Time graph for The Foam Roller Workout
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

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

Reading a Time Graph

Each workout shows a time graph of the workout sequence, from beginning to end. For example, this workout starts with a 10-minute warm-up and ends with a 10-minute stretch. In between, you'll do aerobics, then toning, then a cooldown.

Segments that include both aerobics & toning
Some workouts combine aerobics and toning. If the aerobics and toning are done at the same time, you'll see a "blended" graph. If the aerobics and toning are done in short, alternating intervals, you'll see an "interval" graph.
