I don't know anything about the one that came with Sleek Essentials. I ordered this one from Amazon:
http://http://www.amazon.com/OPTP-Pro-Foam-Roller-Marble/dp/B002C9MSAC/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1386875126&sr=8-1&keywords=foam+roller+soft I browsed some helpful threads here about foam rolling and ultimately decided that I better start with a softer one, because I heard that you could potentially hurt yourself when foam rolling over bony parts of the body (like the back) if the roller is too hard. I stupidly foam rolled my side ribs once when I was supposed to be foam rolling my lats...and man did it smart, because there's no layer of fat or muscle there to protect you. Now, I sometimes wish I had a harder roller, but so far this one has worked well for me. I did look at a clip of Sleek Essentials using the roller and I'd go ahead and try it. If you aren't happy, you can buy something else. Last edited by Cecelia; 12-12-13 at 02:14 PM. Reason: mistake in link |

I'd go ahead and give them a call if you can find a number on their website. This time of year, all kinds of things can happen to packages.

I also lightened up a lot while developing the ATG squat, and again have no qualms about doing so, as I felt that it was important to develop the available range of motion first, then worry about load. That said - once the muscles learn to fire from that position, you can certainly start loading up. And then, of course, you never have to go ATG if it's not safe for your spine, hips, or knees.

No ATG squats for me, thanks! I'd be modifying any other moves that are not nice for my body. I have some injuries to work around.
Also, I have no interest in any of the cardio workouts in D2S. I have plenty of low impact, high intensity workouts I can do. And while we're on the subject, I never read the diet/nutrition plan books that come with any of these sets. I'm just not that in to cooking, meal-planning, or recipes. My main goal is to rebuild strength that I have lost over the past year or so. |
