Typically, Pilates sand balls are used in sets of two (much like dumbbells) gripping one in each hand - although several standard exercises have the athlete gripping the ball in both hands. Choose the strength to fit your personal fitness level and the particular exercise you’re undertaking. They’re both affordable and compact so why not own a pair in each size in order to complete your home gym set of tools and customize your work-out as you desire.

Sand Balls are often referred to as “Therapy Balls” because, as mentioned, Physical and Rehabilitation Therapists often employ Sand Balls in range-of-motion therapies, rotational exercises, and strength and resistance movements. The soft, pliable coating is ideal for the elderly, young people, and persons who have arthritis because, as mentioned, it provides a secure and comfortable grip. It’s also true that soft outer coating is added protection to toes, feet, and floors when dropped as compared to other weights such as dumbbells.

Although Sand Balls (Pilates Balls) are quite simple in design, they are an excellent tool for improving your fitness level through exercise, in particular Functional Fitness Training.

The stability exercise ball is a great fitness product for all around balance and stabilization, but it also helps you reach those core body muscles. Exercising with a stability ball also can help improve your balance and overall coordination. The following Stability Ball In & Out offers a challenging way to work a variety of muscle groups.

Many of our exercise videos are created for advanced users of exercise equipment and require previous experience with an exercise ball. This is a great stability ball exercise that can be adapted to both beginner, intermediate and advanced users.

Resistance Toning Bands are excellent tools for training all muscle groups: routines such as bicep curls and tricep pulls obviously train the upper arms and shoulders; single-arm or double-arm rowing not only provide a great workout for the arms and shoulders, but the entire upper body as well; and “squat-and-pull” type exercises train the legs and trunk.

Resistance bands are one of the most versatile tools around. They are so light-weight and small that you can take them with you anywhere. Hook them around a post or use the special door attachment and transform your local park, home, office, or hotel room into a mini-gym.

You can work your entire body using resistance bands and the best part is that using them is great for building lean long muscles. In addition, using bands requires a great amount of stability and control, which increases your calorie burn and endurance. Perform each exercise for one minute then repeat then entire circuit. Focus on quality and not quantity.
