The Pilates Magic Circle, also known as a Pilates ring, is a lightweight, portable tool that provides resistance for workouts. Made from metal or flexible plastic with molded handles for gripping, the ring is ideal for travel. Use it with your favorite Pilates podcast to achieve upper and lower body toning and challenge your core.
Popular Pilates Magic Circle Exercises
If you've never used a Magic Circle, discover a variety of ring exercises at Ultimate Pilates Workouts, your online Pilates resource. Try a Magic Circle when you're doing the following Pilates movements:
• Hundreds: Hold the ring between your thighs or calves and squeeze when you're engaged in this core Pilates exercise.
• Bridge with abduction: Place the Pilates Magic Circle between the thighs and squeeze steadily as you lift your glutes off of the floor.
• Seated chest press: Seated with a neutral spine and shoulders over the hips, hold your arms parallel to the floor and place the ring between your palms. With the help of your chest and shoulder muscles, apply pressure to the ring.
• Roll-Up: Hold the Pilates Magic Circle between the heels of your hands during your roll-up. Gently press on the circle with arms overhead as you recruit the powerhouse and control the exercise.
Travel With the Core Pilates Ring
Take Pilates ring workouts with you while you travel by downloading free and subscription-based videos from Ultimate Pilates Workouts. If you're new to the site or you're a Pilates beginner, don't use the ring. Adding the Magic Circle makes core work more challenging, so it shouldn't be included until you've perfected your form and require more intensity.
