Sissel Pilates Mini Ball, Purple, 9 Inch

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Pilates
from: SisselTM


I purchased this ball with the recommended mini air pump from the vendor Sissel recently. The mini air pump is a piece of junk --- came with no instruction at all, and a needle that can not be fitted to the pump. The ball looks bad as well --- well as you cannot use the pump as they advertised, you have to use a straw to inflate it.
I'm so disappointed with these products that I want to return them -- however, I was told by the C.R. that I'm not going to be refunded for the freight cost ($6.49) and I have to ship it back out of my own pocket --- and you can imagine how cheap the company is. Better just go to some local sports store and buy a better pilates ball.

ToeSox Yoga / Pilates Toe Socks, Organic Cotton I have practiced yoga for several decades. I purchased these toe socks based upon reviews and price. Goodness, I spent way too much time just trying to sort out my toes - kept getting either two toes in one sleeve or finding my little toe sleeveless. Finally deceided to continue barefoot or in a leotard. Inexpense enough to just throw away:-)

Stamina Pilates Magic Circle with Workout DVD

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Pilates
from: Stamina


I love the pilates magic circle--it is great for toning and strength building, and it also helps with controlled movements. The video is a bit outdated, but it is a very helpful guide for the various pilates moves you can do with the ring for stand-alone, reformer, and mat exercises. It introduced a few moves that I had not seen before with the magic circle.

Healing Arts by Gaiam 65cm Beginner Balance Ball Kit

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Pilates
from: Gaiam

The ball works like I expected, but slowly leaks air. You need to keep a tab on it else it'll gradually shrink and become squishier.

The video was very short and didn't really provide as full of a workout as I would've liked.

I'll be venturing with other brands to see if I can find better quality once this one gives out.

Stott Pilates Express Pilates Mat

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Pilates
from: Stott Pilates


I'm very happy with the Stott Pilates mat. It is durable, lays flat, with no chemical odor. It is a good thickness for pilates providing good cushining for your tail bone and hip bones and it is not too squishy, either. The attached velcro straps keep the mat nicely rolled up and it is not overly bulky to tote around. I highly recommend this mat for pilates over the thinner yoga mats.

The Firm TransFIRMer

Childrens Toy Shop > Sporting Goods > Pilates
from: The Firm

October 26, 2006
I bought this product because I lost my last step in a house fire. These workouts have a few new moves incorporating the new step. I love that I can use my old TransFIRMer workouts with this step as well, giving me a variety of workouts to chose from. The workouts with this program, as with most of the FIRM workouts are pretty challenging. The DVD's that come with the step have great instruction. I would recommend watching them first to get an idea of the moves. Overall, even at 6 months pregnant, I'm able to do most of the exercises and find this system motivational.
