closeup of roller Foam rollers are all the rage now for after workout muscle pain relief, therapy, and injury prevention. I bought mine online for around $30 and cannot be without it. However, I'm not willing to pay that price over and over again every time I travel and don't want to carry it around with me. Here's how to make your own for under $5.

Total Time: 3 minutes

Yield: 1 foam roller

Supplies:

1 6 inch x 2 foot PVC pipe
1 towel or yoga mat
2 large rubberbands

Steps:

Take your towel or yoga mat and carefully roll it around the PVC pipe on the floor. Make sure there are no wrinkles.
Secure the towel or mat on to the pipe with your two large rubber bands. The thicker the towel or mat, the more gentle it will be on your muscles. If you want a gentle massage, keep adding layers of fabric.

Get on and roll away!
