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

Your review will appear on this site within 2-3 days as long as it fits our guidelines. We do NOT post reviews that:

Use profanity, obscenities or are just plain mean-spirited.
Are single word critiques -- readers need to know why you liked or didn't like the workout.
Include non-Collage phone numbers, addresses, URLs, or pricing information.
Are written in all-caps -- it just seems like screaming.
Are personal attacks on the instructor or on other video reviewers (i.e. posts that do not primarily discuss the content of this video).

Note: Please do the video a few times before you write a review so you're sure about your long-term opinion. And try to be specific about what you liked, or didn't. For example on a video, "Hard to follow" might mean you thought the video was poorly cued. Or it might just mean that it has complex choreography.

Also, it's helpful to give a little information about yourself (e.g. your fitness level, style preferences, age). It will help others better understand your comments.

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.

Level

Beginner: Just starting out, very overweight or haven't exercised in over six months.

Intermediate: Active in sports, dance or any regular exercise (2 to 3 times per week).

Advanced: Very active in sports or consistently work out four or more times per week.

Stretch type

Athletic: Traditional sports-style, all-physical stretches. It is the least mind-body focused.

Definition: Standard muscle-oriented stretches, the kind usually done by athletes. This is the most "western" style of stretch.
