Gold'sGym Foam Rolling System

 

I am so excited about the product we are giving away because it is literally one of my favorites!

It is the Gold’s Gym 3 in 1 foam roller.

 

 

Those of you who read our blog regularly know about my hip and IT band issues and you probably could guess that I have been using this foam roller like crazy!

Before you go right to the rafflecopter, let me tell you why I love THIS foam roller and why this roller is so much BETTER than some other kinds I’ve had.

 

1.      First of all, it’s a 3 set. You will get ALL three of these rollers. It’s very convenient that they are nesting , they all fit inside one another. This came in handy as I traveled with this foam roller on my last trip to Disney (and my beach trip last month).

 

2.      The High density roller: This is the big blue foam roller. What I love about this is the durability of the roller. Check out the inside from the previous pictures. There is some sort of thick plastic inside the roller to help it keep its shape.   Compare the Gold’s Gym roller ( on left) to an old roller that I had (on right).  Can you see the indentations from the old foam roller? I have been using the Gold’s Gym foam roller consistently since October 2013 and it still looks new. No signs of wear.

 

3.      The low density Roller: This is the smaller, lighter, yellow roller. This has got a rigid exterior and is great for delicate areas like wrists and ankles.

4.      The message stick:  I love this massage stick and it is perfect for traveling. I do have a few different brands of massage sticks ( you may have seen us mention another on the blog last year). Regardless of brand, massage sticks are wonderful and everyone should have one. What I like about this particular stick is that the rolling parts of them are a little bit thicker. And it makes for a smoother roll when I use it on my bare legs. Sometimes the massage sticks that have the smaller rolling parts pinch my skin as they roll on it.  At only 18 inches in length, I’ve packed this in my carry- on luggage and whipped it out on plane rides. I am so glad I had this on the plane ride home from Princess Half Marathon this year.

 

5.      The DVD: I love how this comes with a DVD. I’ve learned so many new ways to use my foam roller.  The instructor on this video likes to use the term “marinate”.  That’s what she calls it when you find that one spot that hurts like a bugger and you just dig it into the foam roller for a while, you are “marinating” it!

 

If you‘ve been running for a while now, you probably already have a foam roller, but maybe yours is worn out, or you’d like to upgrade it. Don’t you think any runner would love this as a gift?

This foam roller set retails for $29.47 at Walmart.com  but it was gifted to me from the generous folks at Icon Fitness.  The folks at Icon Fitness would like to give one of our reads this  foam roller set.
