The squat done with one foot on a foam roller is a great way to intensify this exercise.  You can begin by standing with your feet a few inches apart.  The roller should be placed about a foot away from your right foot and it should lie perpendicular to your body.  Keep your arms at your sides, squeeze your abs and then place your right foot on the top of the roller so that your toes point forward.  Bend your knees and lower your body until your left thigh is parallel to the ground.  Now rise and repeat the movement for 2 sets of 10 repetitions to start.

To do a triangle push up on the foam roller, begin by getting down on the floor, on your hands and knees.  Place your hands closely together on the roller.  Make sure that the roller is perpendicular to your body.  Your fingertips and your thumbs should be touching.  Now squeeze your abs and lower your torso toward the ground.  Press up on the roller and then repeat the movements for 2 sets of 10 repetitions to start.

To do a traditional lunge on the foam roller, you can begin by standing straight. Make sure that the roller is a few feet in front of you and perpendicular to your body.  Keep your abs tight and place your right foot on the roller.  Squeeze your glutes and your thighs as you bend both legs.  Lower yourself to where your right thigh is parallel to the ground.  Press up on your legs to come back to the starting position.  Repeat the same movements on your left side.
