The Foam Roller - STRETCH Massage and Energize DVD - with Michaela Sirbu

Not for a beginner!
PLEASE SEE UPDATE AT BOTTOM OF REVIEW:
I was purchasing a foam roller to do some of my physical therapy exercises at home after my total knee replacement therapy had completed. I ran across all the DVD's for the roller exercises while looking for a foam roller. After doing a little more research I decided to purchase a DVD to get more use from my roller. I chose this DVD for three reasons: 1. Michaela Sirbu's other DVD's are highly rated, 2. This was the most recently released DVD for foam roller exercise and 3. The descriptions says, "everyone at any level of fitness and flexability".

I have now reviewed most every aspect of this DVD and have come to the following conclusion: it is not for "everyone". You must be able to get down on the floor and maneuver yourself onto a 6" round roller and balance. I was able to do the first exercise with very little difficulty and it made my back feel very relaxed. I was really enthused about this workout. However, as it...

Great DVD
I just purchased a Foam roller and really haven't used it that much. this is a great DVD which takes you through all the muscles, one by one, nice and slowly, and she really knows what she's doing. She offers many alternatives and suggestions, and demonstrates the moves so it's easy to understand.

It's a great full body massage - also some toning and firming, to balance with some of the positions of the roller.
