EvoFit Enso Muscle Roller Review
I’ve written a few blog posts about stretching before and after running, importance of icing, rest and other steps needed to recover from a hard run or race. I also reviewed the Marathon Stick which is a portable stretching and muscle recovery device that works pretty well. EvoFit just released a new product called the Enso Muscle Roller. “A simple design that addresses complex ailments, the patent-pending enso is the premier roller on the market and the only roller that is completely customizable.” The Enso Roller is truly the all-in-one roller that can alleviate aches and pains across your entire body, with its different sized rollers that can be adjusted depending on where you need the most attention. The enso roller is comprised a 13” aluminum tube and 8 discs, 4 are 5” diameter and 4 are 4.5” diameter. Depending on what muscles need attention, you can add/remove as many discs as needed. It’s really easy to adjust the discs too just, you’ll hear a click as the disc passes each groove. Stop at the desired location and if needed slide another disc onto the tube. Repeat these actions placing the discs in desired positions. And that’s it! Once you have the correct number of discs added and placed in the position that you’d like to put the most pressure on, you can go ahead and start rolling!
Example areas of use can be your back, hips, quads, hamstrings, calves, IT bands and much more. You can configure the Enso Roller however you need, quickly and easily. You can even combine multiple discs toward the center of the roller and create a handheld roller instead of rolling across your body, it really is that flexible. The discs itself are soft, but durable enough to last a while. They feel more like foam rollers vs the plastic that’s in the Marathon Stick. Learn more about the different configurations of the Enso Roller.
EvoFit also has a smaller, more portable version of the Enso, appropriately named the Enso Travel Roller. I have to admit, I don’t always take the time to stretch before or after a run, but for those extra long runs or races, I definitely should be stretching out my sore muscles and speed up the recovery time. Using a product like the EvoFit Enso Roller will definitely help in muscle recovery and get me back on the road quicker!
