Foam Roll for Bridges and Stretching the Legs

Sharing a tidbit that I recently shared with my group:

My new trainer has me using a foam roll for elevated bridges. They are really tough and much more focused on your hamstrings and gluts.

It is also an amazing tool to stretch your legs. I lie on it face down, with the roll under my quads. You should not roll - according to my trainer - but try to relax in one spot, then move on to the next. It hurts at first, but it ultimately is like a deep tissue massage. My legs are FINALLY losing that constantly fatigued feeling (from so much spinning) and I think it's from this kind of stretching. Wow.

A picture of the foam roll is linked below.

OT- when you use these for bridges, are you placing your feet on the roll? Is it harder than doing bridges with your feet up on a stability ball? Thanks.

There's a pilates book called Pilates Props Workbook by Ellie Herman's - one of the props is the foam roll and there's 10 exercises in the book including the one the OP mentioned - elevated bridges. I have yet to buy a foam roll and try them out, though!!!

A towel will not work the same way for the massage use, the foam is tougher on the muscle fibers and gives you a deep tissue type massage.

i have one of these and my PT made me roll slowly over it for massaging the IT band (which gets tight from running).

worked great, and hurt so bad i wanted to cry. but really, that foam rod works wonders.
