Zen Active High-Density Exercise Foam Roller - Ultimate Leg Massage Machines - 13 Inch Length, 5 Inch Diameter, Two Pattern Design with The Ideal Mix of Firmness and Pliability, Won’t Lose Shape

Though I have many foam rollers, there are always new versions of the product to add to my collection. I had another one similar to this roller, with the two surface types (the broader panels and the smaller spikes) but it was a little too firm for my liking - I foam roll to *release* tension and pain, not to *create* it! This roller is much softer, and after my fourth half marathon in four months this past weekend, the softness of the surface was a godsend! My calves are chronic problem areas after long runs. Being able to properly and thoroughly roll the sore muscles after the abuse they take over 13 miles keeps me on my feet and ready to run again! With a solid core, there's plenty of support in this roller (other rollers have a hollow core and I worry about breaking them if I apply too much pressure on the wrong spot), and because it's a little shorter than other rollers, it's easier to take with me on racecations. The length does make it more difficult to roll larger areas - specifically my back - but it's more than adequate in length to properly treat my legs, which are my main concern. A good product, I love the pretty blue color, definitely receives my recommendation!(Disclaimer: I received this product in exchange for my review. All opinions expressed herein are my own.)

If you workout regularly, chances are you have sore muscles. I was neglecting stretching on leg days, so the soreness would give me that "newborn deer" walk. I bought one of these and it works like magic! It hurts at first, but once you get the hang of it and feel it out youself, you will wonder why you never bought one. I love to use it on my hamstrings, quads and IT band (this one HURTS). Great quality and exactly what I was looking for! Now I am the annoying person telling everyone to foam roll.

This thing is awesome but it is definitely not for someone who hasn't used a foam roller before or who does not enjoy the pain that comes with rolling out sore muscles. The ridges dig deep and helps alleviate tight/sore muscles. The product is a bit on the heavier side. Great price and great product

I used to drive professionally and fell victim to "drivers leg" and this is the only thing that seems to help heal my muscles, I love this pink little thing. I highly recommend for anyone with leg pain!

This is a must have for everyone! I use it for stretching and massages. I'm a runner and weightlifter and I use the roller every day. This is a great product for any person.

Smaller than expected. Check dimensions.

WAY TOO HARD FOR ME. I NEED A BEGINNER ONE

I returned it, it was way too hard for my liking. I released my IT band but it was bruised for days.
