As a group exercise instructor or personal trainer, if you are dedicated to the job, you are very likely successful.  You create new choreography for class, you stay on top of the latest music, you chat with your clients and class members.  You make people feel included.  You correct form and stress the value of eating well and drinking loads of water.  Maybe, like Todd Durkin, you text message your clients motivating videos every morning to start their day right.  You are dedicated to the job and your people.

Foam Rolling, or Self Myofascial Release (SMR) is a method of self-massage.  Originally used in a therapeutic setting, foam rolling is currently trending in the fitness industry because of its proven results at increasing flexibility, relieving pain, and improving mobility overall.  SMR can be performed with a foam roller, tennis balls, or hands.  There are a variety of types of foam rollers:

• cylindrical rollers
• half rollers
• contoured rollers
