This book is your go-to guide for all things foam rolling. Improve your workouts, decrease pain, and feel awesome!

Note: A newer edition, The Vegan Athlete, is now available!
Karina's health guide is a fantastic resource for beginners and pros alike! Well researched, there's plenty (but not an overwhelming amount) of information to help build a healthy (and happy) lifestyle, whatever that looks like. Unlike other diet/fitness books, this one is completely accessible, and easy to use, with straight-forward tips that pack a big impact. A great read if you want to reward yourself with a healthy body and mind.
