Y’all know I’m no stranger to foam rolling. I own over 5 foam rollers. Five! Foam rolling is one of those things I know if I slack on, my body starts hurting (and my massage therapist starts chastising me!). Yes, it hurts and it’s better than being injured.
One thing I’ve been struggling with is rolling out the smaller kinks on my body. I have a regular sized foam roller, a 32″ one, trigger balls, etc but they just don’t work very well when it comes to my wrists, forearms, and feet. Enter the RistRoller! It’s small, easy to bring around with you, and works like a charm!
At work, I shelf books all day and am on my feet then I go run my butt off afterwards. The RistRoller is so convenient to just throw into my bag and take it out to use during my work break or use it after my run. The RistRoller is 1.5″ in diameter and 5.75″ tall.
The RistRoller is great for releasing tension in the muscles and fascia after a long day at work or after a hard run. (Rolling your feet can help loosen your hamstrings too!)
I’ve also started bringing it with me to school so I can roll out my wrist and forearm during class and my feet while I’m studying at the library afterwards. Being so convenient to carry around, I literally have no excuse to not take it out and roll out the small kinks I have in hard to reach places with my larger rollers.
Verdict: For $12.99, it’s worth having in your bag for on-the-go rolling.

February 3, 2016 at 11:21 amI really need to be better about foam rolling. My calves are super tight and I know that contributes to my shin pain. Its just that usually after runs I just want to get in the shower and be done with it!
