I recently did The Foam Roller workout. I had two problems with this workout: 1) I went into the workout expecting it to mainly use the foam roller to help me stretch and increase flexibility; and 2) thinking my foam roller was going to work.
The exercises were mostly core and then quickly went through some strengthening exercises the way you might use the BOSU or stability ball. The foam roller they were using was substantially longer than mine. They used it to lie their entire torso and head to perform. We're talking a very long foam roller. Some advanced core moves were shown and some interesting balance and footwork balancing on the foam roller maneuvers were also shown. You need a wall to do wall squats with the roller.
It was only a few short minutes at the end that mobility moves were shown with the roller. After doing the complete workout, my shoulder felt worse than when I started.
There are two exercisers demonstrating (one is showing advanced) with a voice over instructing. Takes place in a small room.
I can't say I'd recommend this workout and I didn't keep it
