How to Use a Pilates Ring
|
 |
There are a variety of ways to use a Pilates ring during your Pilates workout. Here are just a few:
- To really work the inner thighs, place the ring in between your upper thighs while lying on your back, knees bent. Squeeze the ring and pulse 10 times, then squeeze as hard as possible for 10 seconds. Repeat two to three times.
-
While doing the Pilates roll down exercise, sit tall, hold the ring out in front of you, hands gently squeezing the ring. Slowly roll down onto your back, reaching the ring overhead when you’re lying flat on the ground, then slowly come back up to seated.
- While seated, spread legs as wide as the front of your mat. Hold onto the top of the ring. Pull your abs in and lean forward, gently pressing the ring down onto the floor between your feet, and pulsing the ring (pressing down and releasing 10 times). Then sit back up and repeat two to three times, being sure to keep your abs drawn in.
