Totally amazing. After doing the whole 30 minutes it felt like I'd had a head to toe massage. The roller gets deep into the muscles and is incredibly effective at loosening the muscles and easing tension. All the tension in my hamstrings, glutes and hip flexors is gone. There are some good stretch DVD's out there but this one works like no other. After using the DVD a few times you can do it on your own while you watch T.V. or play with the kids but it is worth getting the DVD for guidance. Get the long roller as there are a few moves where the short one will not work.

Well, yummy if you like shiatsu, that is. This is a 36 minute workout which can be split into 3 separate parts. It uses a hard foam roller - and there is no way you can do this routine without it..... It feels great. Like deep tissue massage. Lots of deep stretching, getting into the underarms and the sides of the hips and places you didn't even know were tight. There's a little bit of core work thrown in, which is super tough because of the roller. At least, i found it super tough. But I haven't been doing enough pilates lately, so perhaps it isn't that tough. Who knows? Anyway, it's just enough to get you even more streightened out, and not that much that the routine feels like too much work. this is a good one for after weight workouts, or perhaps cardio, or for days when you don't have energy and want to do something. I really like it. Felt nicely wrung out after.

Keli Roberts is one of the best instructors. She's brought us another great workout. It's kind of unique because of the foam roller. It massages almost all of your muscles (and some you didn't know you had) and it's very relaxing. As you get rid of your knots, you are also becoming a little more flexible as it's great for helping you to improve your range of motion. You can adjust the roller's position to get a deep tissue massage or gentle relaxation.

In this you'll work your abs and total core and feel really good afterwards. It is about 30 minutes and so it's perfect for using at the end of a stressful day. I'm loving mine and it will make a great treat for yourself or a friend because almost everyone can do this routine.

I am not inflexible. Quite the opposite site of the spectrum in fact. I use this DVD to help me with myofascial pain (almost like fibromyalgia) and trigger points. It is a very intense DVD and I can't do all the moves but it is so very helpful. I highly recommend it, not just for the inflexible, but for the hypermobile as well and being with tissue pain and fatigue.

After reading the reviews, I was so excited to try this DVD. Everyone said it felt like having a full body message. Well, in reality, it actually kind of hurts while your doing it. But afterward, I did feel pretty good and stretched. The moves are all pretty easy so you probably only really need to watch the DVD a couple times to be able to do the excercises on your own. Although, I must say trying to balance on the foam roller is challenging. In addition, the film is short so you can do it in 20 minutes. Good for after workouts to stretch....but by itself, it's not a good workout.

Hopefully the new version has this corrected, but I purchased the orange-covered version in 2008. It holds potential, but when it was edited they completely skipped the stretches for the second leg.

If you google you will find other comments on this, so please be aware of that when looking at these DVDs.

I've used a roller for years at the suggestion of a physical therapist so I'm used to moving around on a roller. Keli's choice of exercises is great, she covers a lot of areas that can get really tense. The part that bothered me was the editing of the video. The warm-up was less than a minute and only covered the hips then ended abruptly. The other workouts were just exerpts from a video she shot and when played separately, they begin and end abruptly. No introductions, warmups or conclusions. Overall, the exercises are good but it's best to play all of them to get the full effect.

I think the video is very good, but there is not enough time to go from 1 exercise to the next if you are inflexible. It needs to give more time to do so.

The video is a good foam roller stretching routine. However, there are no modifications for different flexibility levels. The title is a bit misleading in this respect. Otherwise an adequate foam roller workout.
