Product Description
The Gymstick Foam roller is a perfect tool to stabilize your core, develop your lower body's balance and improve your stamina. The core of your body is essential for overall fitness and a strong core offers numerous benefits. A major advantage is that it prevents back problems. You can also use the Gymstick Foam roller for stretching and mobility exercises of your joints and spine.
Three exercises are shown on the packaging of the foam roller. The foam roller comes with a QR code giving you access to training videos.
The foam roller is part of the self myofascial release technique and is becoming increasingly popular in the Netherlands. The foam roller removes trigger points (knots and adhesions) in the muscles which greatly improves the body's flexibility and mobility. Using the foam roller will result in better posture, improved performance, less stiff blood vessels and a much lower risk of injury. Use the foam roller in your warm-up and cool down to aid muscle recovery and help prevent delayed onset muscle soreness. This supports better muscle development. You can use the foam roller when training muscles in the upper and lower back, thighs (front and sides), calves, and hips. The Gymstick foam roller with training videos is available in 45 and 90 cm.
For many athletes, there is no need to purchase a long 90 cm foam roller, as 45 cm is sufficient for those mainly wanting to use the foam roller for the lower body. Recently, using the foam roller for the lower body (legs) has become particularly popular among runners and other athletes. If you also intend to regularly use the roller for the upper body, we advise the 90 cm.
We also see the 90 cm foam roller frequently used in Pilates exercises. Gymstick is a quality brand from Finland. The fitness products are developed by personal trainers and much attention has been paid to quality, ease of use, and effectiveness of the fitness products. Simple and effective!
