 if you&amp;#39;re feeling any kind of muscular
 tension this is a really easy way to
 release it
 this is my skills travel hand roller so
 this is something that i
 bring in my gym bag a lot or if i&amp;#39;m
 traveling it allows me to kind of really
 get into the muscles
 and just release some tension so what
 this is gonna do
 is it&amp;#39;s not gonna smooth out any fascia
 or anything like that if you&amp;#39;ve ever
 heard that
 that&amp;#39;s actually a myth what this is
 going to do though is it&amp;#39;s going to help
 increase blood flow
 and it&amp;#39;s going to give some neurological
 signals to your muscles to relax
 so if you&amp;#39;re feeling any kind of
 muscular tension this is a really easy
 way to release it
 now if you&amp;#39;ll notice on the handles as
 well
 it&amp;#39;s got some cool little things that
 you may think are just for grips but
 what this actually can be utilized for
 as well is a little bit more acute
 pressure
 you can use this little knob here and
 get into the chest and just do some like
 myofascial release here some pressing
 movements whatever you want to do
 or just passively you can also utilize
 it
 in this way too so there&amp;#39;s a lot of
 different ways you can use this product
 as far as getting into the muscles
 or just kind of releasing some tension
 increasing blood flow
 this is something i would recommend
 light use of for warm-ups
 if you are trying to get deeper into a
 squat and your calves are tight
 you can utilize this big time to loosen
 the calves up effectively and quickly
 if you are trying to get a lot of
 overhead pressing you can have somebody
 help you out release
 lats to get you in a better position for
 that if you&amp;#39;re just feeling sore if
 you&amp;#39;re just feeling tired if you just
 want to increase your blood flow or if
 you just like the way it feels
 it&amp;#39;s easy to use but it&amp;#39;s got ball
 bearings in there
 as you can tell kind of like skateboard
 bearings so it&amp;#39;s very very very
 efficient the way it moves
 all the pressure you put into this thing
 is going to directly go and translate
 into that muscle you&amp;#39;re not going to
 have any loss of power
 via bending or anything so that&amp;#39;s why i
 like this one the best out of all the
 ones i&amp;#39;ve had
 and it&amp;#39;s easy to fit into a bag it&amp;#39;s not
 gigantic like some of those other ones
 they do make
 a full size one but the travel one is
 just as effective in my opinion and it&amp;#39;s
 so easy to carry around
