I will be having instructional sessions in the office (12401 Olive Blvd. 63141). 

Now is your chance to learn how to get into fitness and how to do it safely and effectively.  Let’s get started with my new found love—the foam roller.

 I talk often about the importance of having a good mix of strength, balance, coordination and flexibility.  The foam roller can provide all of these.  They come in a variety of sizes, materials and densities.  A foam roller is a cylindrical piece of some type of extruded hard-celled foam.  It looks like an oversized pool noodle. 

Its purpose is to relieve tight muscles and tension in your body, but it also adds something new to your workout routine.  You can use it as part of your exercise routine for balance, posture and core strengthening.  It can be used anywhere; home, gym, work and can even be packed in a travel bag to use when you are out of town.  You never know when you may wake up with a kink in your neck or a sore back.

 I have put together a database of my favorite uses of the foam roller that span from simple myofascial release, to weight training ideas and balance postures.  These will be provided for you at the upcoming sessions. 

 If you don’t have a foam roller, we have them at the office to purchase. I prefer the 6 x 12 size because it is easy to take anywhere with you and we can get more creative with it. 

The cost is $10 per person per session.  Just purchase a foam roller, bring some water and invite your fiends.   

Please call the office to reserve your place and to purchase a foam roller.

 See you soon!!
