Description
If you plan to use your Roller in a single location e.g. at home youll love the fullsize model, because its extra length makes it more efficient for performing many exercises. Its long enough to roll the widest part of your back in one pass; you can roll both legs (quads, hamstrings, and/or calves) at the same time; and you can even transition from one IT band to the other without moving the roller. With the Compact Roller, youll need to roll each leg separately, and will spend a little more time repositioning yourself between exercises. The major advantage the Compact Roller has over the fullsize model is its portability. it fits easily in your gym bag, backpack, or carryon luggage. This makes it a favorite of many runners and triathletes who transport theirs from race to race. The Compact Rollers smaller diameter allows it to conform better to the curvature of some body parts, such as your neck. If youre new to foam rolling or have gotten positive results from any type of conventional foam roller, youll want the original density. Even though this is our softest roller, its still more aggressive than any other foam roller on the market. The extrafirm version is intended for experienced users with especially dense muscle tissue that doesnt respond to normal massage pressure.
