Pilates for Upper Body
I was surprised by this workout , I actually like it! I usually find Stott Workouts too boring but it was refreshing using 2 weighted balls in a pilates routine.Moira instructs 3 students who perform the exercises in different levels, they use the balls in every single exercise , even in pushups when you put one ball between your calves and one between your knees while doing them, by the end of the workout I was really sweating and feeling fatigued in the upper body but I don't weight train at all(I just do pilates & yoga) so for people who do, it might be easy.I use 2.2 pound (1kg) balls I bought at a local store , not the stott balls (it doesn't really matter).The workout is 40 min. Stott Pilates have another toning ball workout called "Amazing Tone" & according to them theyre very similar except this one have a few extra exercises and supposed to be for "teachers" and "avid home exercises " so don't buy both of them.
Stott Toning Ball Workout
Although this 42-minute workout did not produce a sweat for me, it did exhaust upper body muscles I didn't realize I had! As a result of using the Stott Pilates Toning Ball Workout for just a month, I've noticed a dramatic improvement in my posture, my arms and upper back, so the two and a half lb weighted balls used with the gentle movements of Stott Pilates is an outstanding combination. Moira uses the "shell stretch" after each exercise that includes reverse spinal flexion, which protects the back and the abdominals from injury, thus ensuring a safe and effective workout. I find her expert guidance and constant attention to her students' correct positioning extremely helpful in that I don't have to always look at them in order to understand what to do. That said, I highly recommend the Stott Pilates Toning Ball Workout.
