Foam Rollers

[flizzenflozz]

Anyone know where to buy one of those exercise foam rollers in Calgary? I tried Walmart but they weren't carrying them (the one at Marlborough anyways).

I've heard that those swimming 'noodles' can work in a pinch so any line on those would be most appreciated.

Thanks in advance for any help.

Do you have a picture of one?

For a slightly higher end (yet reasonably priced) one:

Pretty much any exercise equipment store will have one, usually around $40-$50.

Assuming (based on going to Marlborough) you're in the NE, try the Fitness Depot at 4512-10 Street NE. I suppose you could call ahead (403-219-8888) but I'd be nothing short of amazed if they didn't have a bunch in store.

I'll vouch for these as well. I have one and love it.

I'll put in a vote for Fitter First too. They're down on Ogden Road by the new Crossroads Market. They offer rollers in a variety of densities - softer if you're a beginner, harder if you've already developed some good flexibility. They'll let you try out most of their stuff in the showroom.

Pool noodle = no good. The hole in the middle makes it squishy, so you won't get good pressure and stretch on your back or illiotibial band. If you're really in a pinch try a really tighly rolled towel instead.

If you get a couple people together to order them you can get them for pretty cheap out of the states off a few websites... my s/o orders them from the US all the time and sells them here to her clients.
