When looking for a Reebok foam roller, you have options depending on what kind of workout you hope to achieve. Different tools will target different muscle groups and you want to be sure that you have a healthy and balanced routine. Listed below are some comparisons and contrasts of different Reebok Foam Rollers as seen on EscapeFitness.com.
Please keep in mind that the best way to determine what tool is best for you is to consult your personal trainer or local fitness centre.
If you are on the lookout for a device that will make you more mobile and flexible at the same time tissue adhesion is broken down (and which will give you better flexibility) then you will probably require the Reebok Full Round Roller. The best thing about these rollers is that they come in more materials than just foam.
If you are a user who has a thicker hide than most and require deeper penetration during self-myofascial release, then you may want to invest in a polyurethane roller for more resistance during stretching. Please note that the full roller is designed for the user who is into some serious stretching and loosening of the muscle groups. This can be used for anyone from a boxer to a swimmer, as the roller is versatile enough to be applied to most stretching routines.
For users who are just starting out or for older users who are trying to maintain a level of mobility, you may want to consider a half roller. This offers more stability for ground placement and still offers a significant amount of give like the full round version, but limits wide movement stretches.
It is recommended that no matter which way you begin (full or half rounded roller), that you work your way up in terms of resistance. Like all workouts, you don't want to start out too fast or too strong. The roller is a workout tool and needs to be used in moderation and with a steady consistency like any other workout tool to gain results. - 16752
