You’ve probably heard about how training Pilates at home is a great solution for those who want to practice physical activity at a lower cost.
There are exercises in Pilates that are the base of the body itself with support from a wall. On the other hand, some accessories can be added to enhance your training exercises.
One of the most common accessories used in Pilates is the ball. To help you choose the ideal ball for your training, we have selected some options.
Benefits of the pilates ball
In addition to being an accessory, the Pilates ball is responsible for toning the body’s muscles. Other benefits of using the ball include:
- Increased strength;
- Agility;
- Speed;
- Relieve back pain;
- Improves flexibility and balance;
- Relief of cramps or pain during pregnancy;
- Post-operative recovery, including postpartum.
How to choose the ideal pilates ball
To choose the ideal pilates ball for you, you need to pay attention to the following points:
1- Considering the nature of Pilates exercises, whether for support or with additional load, it is essential to assess the firmness or flexibility of the Pilates ball material, as well as check whether the size of the ball is suitable for your body type.
two- The consistency of the material may vary depending on the quality of the Pilates ball. Most of them are made with PVC or latex, with variations in the thickness of the rubber.
The rubber must be of adequate thickness to resist weight and deformation over time.
Furthermore, it is essential to ensure that the material is free of toxic substances and follow the conservation instructions recommended by the manufacturer.
3- The Pilates ball is available in different diameters, which are related to the person’s height. To determine the ideal size, it is recommended to sit on the ball and check that your knees are bent at a 90-degree angle. Size options are:
- Size S (55cm)
- Size M (65cm)
- Size L (75cm)
4- To know your ideal ball type, use this table as a basis:
- Up to 1.65 m: choose a 55cm (or S) Pilates Ball.
- Between 1.65 and 1.85 m: opt for a 65cm (or M) Pilates Ball.
- Above 1.85 m: choose the Pilates Ball G, measuring 75 cm.
5- It is important to consider both its weight and the resistance of the Pilates Ball material (which can be latex rubber or PVC, with varying thickness).
