Book Reviews of The Ultimate Body Rolling Workout: The Revolutionary Way to Tone, Lengthen, and Realign Your Body

Book Review: body rolling only with balls
Summary: 2 Stars

I was hoping to find a book that had more information about using the foam rollers often used in physical therapy, but this is really set up to use the ball shown in the workout and the exercises are not necessarily transferable to other equipment.

Summary of The Ultimate Body Rolling Workout: The Revolutionary Way to Tone, Lengthen, and Realign Your Body

Get rolling! Your body will ask for more.

Created by veteran yoga teacher Yamuna Zake, body rolling is a revolutionary fitness technique that uses six- to ten-inch inflatable balls to strengthen, tone, and realign the body, while providing sensations that can surpass the bliss of a massage. Now, in the first book devoted to body rolling, Zake shares the routines that she has imparted to thousands of clients across the country, and shows you how to get on the ball--and get the body you've always wanted.

The next step for fans of yoga and Pilates, body rolling is the ultimate way to streamline your figure and promote physical wellbeing without the bulked-up results of conventional workout methods. Like yoga and Pilates, these easy-to-follow, fully illustrated routines will condition and lengthen your muscles, improve core strength, and enhance posture, flexibility, and balance. But unlike those practices, body rolling also realigns your spine and joints, relieving pain and muscle tension and providing a workout, a massage, and a chiropractic session all at once. The routines can be combined for a full body workout, or abbreviated for instant relief-to ease shoulder tightness after a long workday or to enhance bedtime relaxation. The result: You will be not only stronger and more fit with a long, lean shape-you'll stand taller, you'll move more easily, and best of all, you'll feel terrific.


You'll get "leaner, longer, and stronger," promises Yamuna Zake. "It's a workout, a massage, and a chiropractic session all in one." Body Rolling uses a 6- to 10-inch inflatable ball (purchased separately), which you slowly roll under different parts of your body from a range of positions, elongating the muscles, relieving tightness, and improving alignment. The principle is "creating space" in the body, reducing compression. You also strengthen your core muscles as you hold the positions. Zake and her able co-writer Stephanie Golden explain the theory behind the practice and how it benefits different populations, such as fitness buffs, rare exercisers, and people in physical and emotional pain. The book gives easy-to-follow instructions for specific Body Rolling exercises for the back, neck, legs, thighs, arms, shoulders, hips, abs, buttocks, and feet, with clear, helpful photographs. Steps are explained clearly, including goals, tips, cautions, and visualizations. (The only problem is that the book does not open flat easily.) Most routines are done lying on the floor; some are done in a chair. Zake, whose earlier Body Logic system grew out of her yoga teaching practice, created Body Rolling and has trained 600 practitioners. --Joan Price
