Fitness, in a larger sense, is
about taking care of ourselves.
While we may love exercise for its own sake (hi, skiing!), or tolerate
it because it is good for us (burpees?
Again?), the point of it all is to increase our ability to enjoy
life. At times, our daily lives
and even our play at the gym can leave us sore, tight, and achy. Reading a book won’t fix that, but
following the directions in Jill Miller’s The Roll Model will go a long way.
Miller has created some very
spiffy tools for myofascial release, the yoga therapy balls and the coregeous
ball. The book lays out the nitty
gritty of using the balls to make happiness in your body. I love my balls and the exercises she
has created around them.
I have a high tolerance for
puns. This comes in useful reading
the book because every single thing has some kind of punning clever name. I have a low tolerance for glowing
testimonials, which means I skipped a lot of the stories of successful users
who have been transformed.
I took my book to have the
regular binding cut off and a spiral binding put on to increase the usefulness
of it; now it lies flat while I am rolling and referring to it. It was cheap and totally worth it.
I highly recommend the content of
this book for anyone looking for increased flexibility, mobility, and happiness
in the body.
