You guys are on time! I started foam rolling two days ago and am amazed at how much better I feel. But I need a longer/different roller and was starting my search...and voila, here's your video to help. Thanks, Bob & Brad!

[@ELl_e..3]

Sometimes I stay up late at night and wonder why they went with, “Bob and Brad” and not, “Brad and Bob”.

My foam roller and tennis ball saved my life. I have two herniated disc ( L4 & L5) and tried so many. The best one is the one with the lumps and bumps that looks like a tyre.

[@cookiemama4208]

I have an L5 herniated disc, and I have absolutely no idea what to do to relieve pain. What do you do with the tennis ball? Thank you. 💕

As a runner who is training for a marathon, these foam rollers kzbin.infoUgkx9XSsjzA4f84VmhBCHlyhec7XILIxennL are really good for sore and tight muscles. This one is a good size (mine is the purple, 36 inches) not too big but big enough to work and roll both my legs at the same time - I took a photo holding the roller next to me just to provide a better representation of its size. I noticed some reviewers who complained that this is, “just a foam noodle”… and yes, that’s exactly what it is. It’s a high density foam roller. It is absolutely NOT the same consistency/strength/durability/ or texture as a ‘pool noodle’ thought and I disagree entirely with those that say so. As a former collegiate athlete and marathon runner, I’m comfortably giving this roller 5 stars. It’s lightweight and durable and does just what I need it to do at a budget-friendly price. Overall, I have no complaints and am happy with it!

[@tmcdgreen]

I literally bought the middle one, but the version cut in half so I could lay on it without it rolling as I stretch my back and shoulders because I work on the computer all day. This video came right on time.

[@WS_00]

Wow, you must have a big computer! And it doesn’t sound like it’s very comfortable in there 😮

[@CarlaTravels]

Perfect timing! I really needed this video. Thank you Bob and Brad

I often times get a terrible burning sensation between my scapula. I use my foam roller to massage my muscles and pop my back

Good morning guys, I’m a 63 yr old woman, 50 lbs. over weight. I’m walking every morning and I’m terrified of falling and knowing I would not be able to get myself up!!! What can I start to do to get myself stronger. Is it my core? Any suggestions would be welcome, help! Love watching you guys.

[@anitakathait5737]

Ma'am good evening from India. I can relate to this as my granny has the same issue. Well, here's how we fixed it: 1- We got her diet on check. Alcohol needs to stop. Drink a lot of water and have enough protein and sufficient carbs in your diet. Don't skip carbs. Diet is important as 70% of athleticism and muscle comes from what you eat (Not a scientifically accurate number but it's a basic advice for beginners) and the rest 30% is your training. 2- Don't walk to the point where it hurts your knees and you can't wake up the next day. Go little by little and eventually increase the distance. 3- Don't measure you calories. Yes, don't. For someone who is having trouble as you, if I said track calories etc. it would become hectic. Just watch "Athleanx Jeff Diet" videos on youtube and you'll eventually get a hold on food habits. Last but not the least, if you are going to a gym, there are certain exercises you should not be doing. I'll wait for a reply.

[@TG-ob5fn]

I'm in the same boat but dreaded using a cane. Without some support my hips get stuck. Purely by accident, pushing a groc cart, I realized that for whatever reason it made it easier, non problematic. However can't push a groc cart all over town. I ended up using a bamboo stick I purchased at Michaels crafts for something else. It gives my enough support. However I'm going to look into trying a ' walking stick ' as as well. I've seen many older folks use just one or both. They are sold at Dicks, Target online. Best of luck! 🌺

[@robertolivares4700]

Use a stationary bike instead of walking. Better on the joints and no fear of falling

[@riven2099]

Great video, very informative. The only question I have is what type of lube do you guys use?. I'd assume water-based so it won't damage the foam, but you're the experts.

[@karent.8245]

Not only are you super entertaining and funny, you are loved back!!!!

[@Lavendare1023]

I just got set for my birthday. Great timing. Could you get Jordan to demo rolling with them ? As I have only used one of them as you showed along the spine on the floor for improving office chair posture ailments. Please show what else can I do with them ? Thanks guys.

[@larryzalants7773]

Wouldn’t the 36” roller work to elevate the knees while sleeping to reduce pressure on the lower back?

[@laurapainterfdnp]

Thanks for the video. Very helpful and purchased the moderate recommendation on your link. Appreciate you two!

[@RollgaHealth]

Have you tried the Rollga foam roller? It works so much BETTER then the one in this video.

[@marcohghar]

Aww, it's nice to see the famous duo back together again!

How to sit throughout a day, if sitting on the floor hurts your knees and on the chairs your low back ??

[@michelleslifeonrepeat]

Yeah but how do you use them , especially the smaller one? I have a long big one for my spine like you showed but how do you use them on your muscles?

[@akumatenshi2004]

The smaller ones are for smaller areas like calves and neck.

[@elizabethwilk9615]

Thank you!

You know I just received my foam roller that I had ordered through amazon. I guess I am 5 hours too late. 🤣 Anyway I am happy with my foam roller.😄

[@katiejira8187]

I still deciding to get but I don’t know the one is best for . I have a problem with cervical herniated disc and spinal herniated disc. Could you suggest?

[@cookiemama4208]

That's exactly what I'm going through now! I'm waiting on a steroid injection..

[@katherenewedic8076]

Steroid injections made my condition worse. I find a half dome 6" ball most helpful for my neck, mild traction, or a rolled towel.

I tried several at the gym and the light blue one (the middle one) was the best for me. The others were either too hard or too soft.

seeing as they aren't even getting revenue off these recommendations and really aren't shouting out specific brands thus no affiliation to any of these brands, the answer to your question would be.. NO. Do you think before you type?

how about advice pillow for sleeping i have neck trouble

[@katherenewedic8076]

They do have existing videos on how to sleep with various pains/ injuries. I've found them very helpful. It's more about how to use pillows than specific pillows

Can you use a foam roller even if your in perfect shape and have no muscle pain or will it make your muscles bad as your using it for no reason

[@robertapreston4200]

Well, since we are public..why not get stupid. You had a bladder incontinence, discussion recently, but you didn't discuss slipped vertebrae, slipped Sacro and hips and the debilitating lifestyle that results from flooding, not leaking. This has little to do with the pelvic floor. Dr. John Berg has a nice video, although somewhat old and outdated info. I've been subscribed to him for years before meeting you two. Wouldn't it be cool if you three could collaborate?
