If you're upping your exercise game for spring, you may also be upping your risk for pain — unless you've got the right tools and habits. One way to keep workout-related injuries and aches at bay is to engage in active recovery, before and after each session. Whether that means stretching or using a device that targets specific muscles, even a 10-minute routine can make all the difference. We've found one at Amazon that brings some extra benefits — oh, and it's $24 off. Originally priced at $80, the FitIndex Vibrating Foam Roller can now be had for a very relaxing $66.

Why is this a good deal? ????
While this isn't the absolute lowest price we've seen for this item, you're still scoring a 27% discount. With hordes of shoppers hankering to make their get-in-shape goals a reality, deals like this on fitness equipment will be rare indeed.
Why do I need this? ????
Um ... because you don't want to conclude your workout with an aching lower back and spend the rest of the day supine! It's not just for exercisers either, this massaging roller is a great way to relieve, say, tight hips after a long day in a chair.
The roller features three unique wave patterns of increasing widths. Unlike most foam rollers, the FitIndex Vibrating Foam Roller also has five powerful speed levels with easy frequency conversions. Because it's made of high-density textured foam, it'll maintain its muscle-penetrating power for years. And, at only three pounds, it's great for on-the-go too — toss it into the included bag when you head off for that long weekend or summer seaside vacay.
And oh yeah: Though you can find less expensive vibrating rollers out there, the FitIndex Vibrating Foam Roller has over 800 perfect ratings from Amazon shoppers. As a rule, these reviewers testified that this roller relieved pain in their bodies and soothed sore muscles.
Instant relief with the push of a button. (Amazon)
What reviewers say ????
Nearly 1,000 shoppers give this rockin' roller a five-star rating.
Pros ????
"I have tried multiple devices for chronic back pain including massagers, tens units, the back buddy, an inversion table… and nothing has given immediate relief quite like this," a rave reviewer wrote. "The vibrations are intense and the foam roller shape allows for putting lots of pressure on sore areas. If you’re the kind of person who when they get a massage needs the person to go hard pressure/ full body weight/ use elbows to get any relief, this is absolutely a good buy. Have used it daily and it’s helped lessen the pain immensely."
"Does wonders!" said another user. "My physical therapy visits were maxed out and I see this device. I was skeptical at first, but after a couple of uses, I noticed a reduction in pain. It only got better with each subsequent use."
"I am obsessed with this roller!" said another shopper who uses it to relieve arthritis pain in her shoulders and hips. "I am a physical therapist and a professional massage therapist and I cannot tell how helpful this roller has been for my whole body. The vibration is so strong. It really helps me to release all the stress and the pain in my muscles."
Cons ????
Some shoppers say it's not quite long enough.
"The vibration not only relaxes my muscles to help with the pain but also keeps my mind off the pain," shared one shopper, adding, "If I had to say one negative thing it would be that I wish it was longer."
Another shopper agreed: "I just wish it was a little longer but it gets the job done."

Your aching body says, "Ooh, I want that!" Your wallet says, "Hey, that won't hurt at all!"
