Which stick length is best if you want to do your back and shoulders, but don't have a lot of space?

I have a 15 beads , 24" overall length , and find it works for my needs. This allows you to have both hands on the unit. You can get creative prop it up one end against sofa wil you can apply to back. Bests

The blue handled one. I don't start the day without it, and it does not require a lot of space.

From the instructions that came with mine (24") it illustrates how to use it on your back.

providing you don`t plan to stand the shorter stick is ideal. I use mine for handgun hunting however the rifle works as well, but it would not work for any standing shots.

I think the one- part stick is best,it doesn't bend in the middle,you don't loose one- part. The single stick is also more sturdy.The two-part can bend and you can loose a part of the stick.

Length wise you really don't need much room. It's the width. Your going to need a good five feet to the right and left of you. You'll need to extend your arms, legs ; so space to either side is vital. Since this is not movable once set up where you set it up to start has to have adequate space. I'm fond of my reformer - and if you do go with the aero Pilates stamina brand go with the version with METAL SPRING. Not the bands it's well worth the extra money. Last year when I purchased mine it was the only "studio type" reformer on the market. Since then balanced body has released a much better moveable reformer called the IQ. I would HIGHLY recommend that brand. Even with the springs on the body balance reformer you will quickly out grow the intensity of your work out. We've replaced the wheels twice and it's fully put together properly - it's not smooth like a studio reformer. Balanced body is known for studio reformers and they've done an amazing job making a home version for the same price.

I prefer the longer ones. you get more thrust with slower kicking or short strokes. Saves energy and if you really need power it is there.

You can adjust the height you want the rods to be so that you can reach without the stick if you'd like. I personally leave it higher so I can use the bottom space for more storage room. Hope this helps.

I think that depends. Is balance something you need to work on as well? If so, I would get a bigger board to give you more space to practice.

I find the most comfortable way is to use the wide end at my lower back, and the narrower end up between my shoulder blades, but it seems to be usable both ways.

I have the Powerblocks. They are quick to change weights and actually better on many exercises than the bowflex or similiar systems since they are about 4 inches shorter. I had another style of expanding weights and hated the way the ends would hit each other on shoulder exercises. No issues with the Powerblocks for me.

It depends on your skill level. I have a few different sizes and like utilizing different sizes for different techniques or various drills to develope different attributes. Bigger bags are slower and are better for burning out the shoulders. Smaller bags require more finesse and more speed, but might not give you the same type of workout. I like to start small and as I start to fatigue I switch to a larger bag to finish out my shoulders. I also prefer rubber bladders over vinyl. They're more durable and retain air pressure better in the cold. Less refilling them, but they're heavier. Which you don't want in your faster bags. Just my thoughts on it. My absolute favorites are the title bags, the red classic and the yellow. I have a couple everlasts and they're good but I love the red classic, I think I went with the five, but I'll spend 7 hours or so out in the garage hitting on a good night. Anyway I hope this helps.

http://musclerollerstick.com/ Not sure of the model number, but I have "the Travel stick." I think they had a few different options and I choose this one due to it's length - about 17-18 inches. Not too small, not too big. I included another link, don't know if it will help. It looks like this might be only sold on Amazon. Good luck!

If your hair is long enough to actually touch the shoulders, I'd use 2 boxes. If it's long enough to reach closer to the rib cage I'd use 3.

I like the smaller size as I use it on my bed to massage my calves and lower back. Just move it around. It's a preference. I think the 18 in is too long. My son has that one.

You want the stick to be about shoulder high so that it will be comfortable for you to hold the stick either over the top or around the top of the stick comfortably....you could also just put your height and age in your order as a note to the folks who make these. Good luck!!

Yes, the size is good. Watch "Ab Roller Plus 15 Minute Power Program" on Youtube. It gives you a good idea about different ways of using this product.

I am 5'8" and I use the small size roller. It works great! I also have a large one which is better for rolling your back.

It depends on width of your back :) It is rather long, more for frame holder.For jersey pocket Mini Morph (with or without G) will be better.
