Has your workouts been a little dull lately? Do you find yourself doing the same old same old? Maybe it’s time you spice up your workout? The Pilates Ring is one piece of fitness equipment that for the most part doesn’t need you to be very coordinated. What it does do is to add resistance to the areas of the body you need to tone up. There are many manufacturers that put their own twist on the ring, but essentially all rings do virtual the same.

Pilates rings are sometimes called Magic Circles or Fitness Circles. Rings are made up of bendable metal and some are wrapped in neoprene. Two soft foam pads are attached to the outer sides of the ring providing a comfortable and cushioned area where the body parts it is being placed against. Some rings have inner padding as well that offer more options for resistance.

STOTT PILATES is the manufacturer of the Fitness Circle Lite®. This is one of the more expensive models and one of the favorites used by professional Pilates instructors and their clients. The Fitness Circle Light is lightweight and extremely comfortable to use. Ring workouts are perfect for toning arms, buttocks, inner thighs and the abdominal

The Magic Circle is another brand that offers the same benefits. Rings make ideal accessories to any home gym. So if you are looking for some resistance training equipment, look to a Pilates Ring to get your workout pumped once again.
