Versatility
The Vibrating Foam Roller features 4 variable vibration speeds allowing the user to get the desired amount of vibrations they are looking for. In terms of versatility, this foam roller is the most versatile on the market as the most variation any other competitor offers is 3 speeds. To turn the vibration function on, press and hold the center button until the blue indicator lights turn on. Each time you press the center button the vibration speed will increase.
The size of the foam roller allows you to roll out almost every area of your body. Most users tend to target the hamstrings, glutes, IT bands, quads, pecs, and lower back. However, if you’re able to position the roller onto the muscle you’d like to target, than you can foam roll it.
A warning to those who have not foam rolled before, especially with a vibrating foam roller, you want to avoid tendons, joints, or bony structures. You’ll also want to avoid rolling your chest as the vibrations could, in severe instances, cause disturbances to the rhythm of the heart.
If the foam roller is too aggressive for your liking, consider a lower speed of the vibrations or consider rolling on a softer surface such as a carpet or yoga mat.
Battery Life of the TimTam Vibrating Foam Roller
The battery in this Vibrating Foam Roller will take about 2 hours to fully charge. However, with a usage time of 120 minutes, you’ll be able to roll the same amount of time it takes to charge. It is recommended that users charge the roller immediately after use or overnight to ensure a full charge upon each use. To turn off the vibrating foam roller, press and hold the center button until the blue indicator lights turn off. It is not recommended that the foam roller be utilized while the device is charging.
