At first I thought of it as a fun new toy, but soon the novelty wore off and it now sits in the corner with all the other forgotten equipment...stability ball, foam roller, innocent hand weights and yoga mat.
I hope you get more than $22 worth of use out of it. I only got about $15 worth. ;)
Good luck with the foam roller therapy! I keep reading about those suckers and I have NO IDEA how they could possibly help - but my partner has some ITB issues so maybe there is a red foam torture device in our future too. Hope you get to peak week in good form. Peace.
as much as it hurts, they're so good for you! be good to yourself!
oh, and the up and down weeks? yep, been there. although when i'm in the sittinginbedwatchingtveating mood, i like salt. anything with salt. the more the better.
perhaps the best peice fo exercise equipment, recovery equipment every developed.

Ah, my very good friend. Except yours is red....I bet it hurts more! :)
ReplyDeleteGlad you found your roller. I'm headed off to rendezvous with mine, actually. Hope your knee recovers quickly!
Ugh, I have one of these as well.

Your rest week sounds like mine! I'm a bit of an all or nothing type, so rest weeks become a little like "optional training weeks".
ReplyDeleteOh well, we live and learn (again!). I hope that mean looking reds thing does the trick!
i hate you foam roller! you are the death of me!
ReplyDeleteoooohhhh....the dreaded foam roller. AND a dreaded Core DVD. Yep. Hell!
ReplyDeleteI love the foam roller! But mostly, I just like listening to my husband squeal like a piggie when he's trying it. Or maybe that's how grown men cry?
ReplyDeletehee hee hee. Looks evil!
ReplyDeleteCurious to know how it works out...
