The variations on plank/push-ups are killer on the foam roller. We also use them to warm up, just by rolling along hamstrings, quads, IT bands. According to my trainer, the roller breaks up muscle adhesions when used this way.

I was talking about the wakers, I think. They look very similar to the things we've been standing on lately to help with balance and to make squats harder.
I've used the foam roller in a pilatesish class before, and it is pretty awesome. I remember roller crunches being particularly hard. And core stabilizer/planks.
