Fitness Mad ™ Pilates Double Handle Resistance Ring

What is the Fitness Mad Pilates Double Handle Resistance Ring?

Pilates rings have gained popularity over recent years due to their versatility and ability to strengthen muscles from neck to foot. If you are just starting out at Pilates, don’t go for the biggest, shiniest ring you first see. The lighter the design, the smoother the workout, and the easier it is to travel with. This Pilates ring lays flat and takes up little space (14” diameter). It also includes double grips for added comfort, a feature other standard rings lack.

How does the double handle benefit me?

The Fitness Mad Pilates Double Handle Resistance Ring helps you to get to grips with Pilates floor exercises by offering twice the comfort. Having pads on both the inside and outside of the circular frame adds to the versatility of the ring. Such exercises as the rainbow are made easier as it requires you to stabilise the ring with pressure on the inside. The extra cushioning takes pressure off your body and reduces discomfort.

What mat should I use?

When using the Fitness Mad Pilates Double Handle Resistance Ring, choose a Pilates mat that rolls up well and doesn’t slip on surfaces. Closed cell foam mats are the most suitable for people at all levels, from beginners to pros. They tend to be thicker and firmer than regular foam mats, which is good news for hands, knees, elbows and other joints that bear the brunt of stances and stretches.
