It’s been nuts around here these last two weeks. Good, but nuts! Anyway, now on to your questions regarding using the Rumble Roller for your feet. YES, they work great on the feet. The best way to use them is to stand on the 30” Rumble Roller while you hold onto a pull up bar or vertical support. Gently shift your weight left and right to either foot. Don’t try to “roll” on the roller, just stand and try to relax your feet. You should notice that the muscles of your feet mold around the bumps and the curvature of the roller better and better over time. (today, tomorrow, next week, next month, etc.) Try standing with one foot length-wise on the roller and the other sideways then switch your feet. A fantastic product for the feet is the green marble stone. You can heat (or chill) the green marble in hot water (or the icebox/freezer) to increase circulation (decrease inflammation) while you slowly roll your foot over the stone. It is an absolutely effective complement to the Rumble Roller. Keep in mind that you have 13 muscles in your lower leg and 11 of them attach in your foot with 3 big ones that run from the back of your calf into the bottom of your foot into either your arch or the toes. You have 8 muscles in the bottom of the foot, and they will get locked up extra fast is the calf muscles are too tight. Vice Versa if the foot muscles are too tight, the calf muscles will lock up extra quickly. So work above and below the ankle to achieve lasting relief in your feet. Check out the secondary and extended regions for the lower leg and foot and pick 2 or 3 exercises to do today. Then do 2 or 3 different exercises from the secondary and extended regions for the lower leg and foot. Keep rotating through the different exercises until you find your 4-6 “special exercises” that provide you with the greatest level of relief and alternate through them every couple days until your issue is resolved. If you aren’t seeing noticeable improvements each week, hire a bodyworks specialist (A.R.T., Graston Technique, or other deep tissue therapist) to get their assistance to get you past your “sticking point.” If you are on FaceBook, then “like” our SMR page. Myself and Dr. Dustin Glass provide direct advice for dealing with issues exactly like what you are going through. It is a free service that we provide to help you get the most out of your SMR efforts. Please keep me abreast of your progress. If I can help, I am only a message away. In Your Service, ~Jeff David,

And on that note, is there a particular product you recommend for feet? I've been having feet issues that keep manifesting differently. First it was a clear ball of foot problem, now I'm begin to develop some plantar fasciitis :( (And is there a particular series of stretches I should be using to address these issues?)

The PDF downloads for the Primary & Secondary SMR exercises are freely accessible with your Weekend Warrior membership. The videos for the Secondary & Extended SMR exercises are considerably larger than the PDFs, so we need to cover our server & bandwidth costs by charging an average of $1.50 to $2.50 per month with the Athlete & Fire Breather memberships. You can find numerous YouTube videos from us by searching our library after watching any of the free Primary videos. Please contact me at fitcajun@networkfitness.com if you have any trouble accessing any of our content. We want to provide the best possible service at a fair price, and your feedback is important to me personally and all of us here at Network Fitness. Phil, thank you for your interest in our videos.

It then says the videos require "Athlete" level membership. Can this please be fixed so that I get access to all area that my Weekend Warrior membership entitles me to view?
