Certified instructor description: 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 |
| Great Workout for Cyclists and Runners |
| I tend to do a lot of strength building exercise but fail to stretch enough causing problems with my ITB and ultimately my knee. After 8 weeks of physical therapy my PT introduced me to the roller and then I found Lawrence's DVD. For me it's perfect and I do just those exercises that I need to. - posted by Maureen on 11/17/2011 |

| Too difficult for me |
| This appears to be a very good and thorough video, however I have had wrist surgery and a lot of the exercises require that you put a lot of weight on your hands. Probably would be a good video for most people, but doesn't work for me. - posted by Tammy on 3/19/2011 |

| Too Easy |
| Based on the reviews I was hoping to learn something new about Foam Roller Exercises. He takes too long to describe what he is doing and there isn't much more than the basics of foam rolling your muscles out. I will be loaning this DVD out to friends that are new to using the Foam Roller to help them learn how to properly use it. Otherwise, the DVD is useless to me. - posted by Michelle on 1/28/2011 |

| Love the instructor, disc segments not so much |
| Lawrence is motivating and a great teacher. I love instructors that focus on good form. No sense in doing crazy moves that will get you hurt! The DVD is not segmented so it was difficult to skip,forward or rewind to a specific chapter. I was forced to have to look at the entire thing in one sitting. If you don't mind this, then the DVD is great! I'm not too technical, so my suggestion will be to use a different or updated DVD format to solve the issue. - posted by Rosa on 12/24/2010 |

| Nice beginner and intermediate tape |
| Very good for instructions and ideas for using the roller. First section self massage - suggests "pausing" as you go along to personalize the experience. - posted by Valerie on 11/28/2010 |

| UNIQUE |
| My husband's chiropractor recommended a roller for my husband, of course, I had to try it and I enjoy how it relaxes my muscles. - posted by Vicki on 10/5/2010 |

| Love this workout |
| I have been having some back issues and purchased this video to help get some massage to my muscles as I strengthened them. I feel refreshed after each workout. Lawrence does a great job setting up each exercise and I like that he gives you some idea of what the stretch or balance is doing. It also moves at a good pace so you can keep up but don't get bored. - posted by Mary B on 9/23/2010 |

| Foam Roller Workout |
| Lawrence Biscontini has such an appealing personality that it is a mood boost just to watch him. The first part is a massage section that feels very good, and the second part is a workout that incorporates fun moves like throwing a weighted ball from one hand to the other while you balance your body on the roller. The second part can make you sweat, and is an over-all strengthener. I'm glad I bought this DVD. - posted by Catherine on 5/27/2010 |

| Surprisingly Effective |
| I had a foam roller at home that I didn't use much, so I was interested in this video. It is a surprisingly effective workout, especially for someone like me with back, shoulder and neck issues. It adapts moves from pilates and yoga for balance, stretching and also includes some myofacial release (some of it very intense). - posted by Jan on 5/16/2010 |

| Not bad, but not great |
| This is not a bad workout. But the instructor talks too much during the entire workout. Maybe there should have been an instruction section separate from the actual workout. - posted by Lisa on 5/7/2010 |
