Description
Green 23cm Pilates Ball for Core, Balance & Stability Training.
This Green 23cm Pilates Ball is a simple way to add a little more control, resistance and variety to Pilates, core workouts and general home exercise without needing weights or bulky equipment.
You can place it between your knees during bridges, use it as support behind your back, squeeze against it during controlled core exercises or bring it into balance and mobility work. Because it is only 23cm in diameter, it is easy to position around the body and doesn’t take up much room when you’re finished.
The outer surface is made from non-slip PVC, helping you keep better control of the ball while you’re moving, and you can adjust the firmness depending on how much air you put into it.
It is worth knowing that this isn’t designed to replace a full-sized exercise ball.
If you’re looking for something you can sit on or use for larger stability exercises, have a look at our Phoenix Fitness 65cm Yoga and Fitness Ball instead.
What is a 23cm Pilates ball actually used for?
A 23cm Pilates Ball is normally used to add support, resistance or instability to exercises rather than for sitting on like a larger gym ball. You can place it between your knees during a glute bridge, hold it between your hands during Controlled Abdominal Exercises or position it behind your back for additional support during some Pilates movements.
For beginners, we like it because you don’t have to completely change your workout. You can take exercises you already know and use the ball to make you think a little more about control, positioning and core engagement.
Is a 23cm Pilates ball suitable for beginners?
Yes. In fact, we think a Small Pilates Ball makes a lot of sense for beginners because it can be used to assist an exercise just as easily as it can be used to make one more challenging.
You don’t need to start with complicated Pilates Movements either. Something as simple as placing the ball between your knees and applying gentle pressure during a bridge can help you focus on keeping the movement controlled.
The firmness can also be adjusted slightly by changing how much air you put into the ball, so it doesn’t always need to feel completely solid.
