Some fitness accessories take up a lot of space but are ultimately of little use. Conversely, the simplest ones can easily slip into a routine at home without disrupting your habits.
If you already practice sport at home and want to vary your exercises, this little accessory is worth a look. Behind its fairly basic shape hide several possibilities to challenge your body differently.
The Pilates Ring Domyos from Decathlon costs 14.99 euros
Sold for 14.99 euros at Decathlon, the black Domyos Pilates Ring measures 40 cm in diameter and weighs only 380 g. It is made mainly of polyethylene and fiberglass and is suitable for all levels.
Its operation is simple. You can place its two side handles between your hands to work your upper body or place the ring between your thighs to increase the effort on the adductors.
The product can be used to work many areas: back, abdominals, chest, buttocks, thighs, upper and middle body. Decathlon also associates this accessory with working on posture and deep muscles.
Why use this Pilates ring for your exercises?
You can practice Pilates perfectly without any accessories. The ring is mainly used to add resistance to certain movements and to intensify muscular work.
To prevent an energetic session from turning the accessory into a downright unpleasant object, Domyos installed two curved foam pads on the sides. They provide contact areas when you press the ring with your hands or legs.
Its round shape deforms depending on the pressure exerted. You can therefore integrate it into different movements depending on the part of the body that you want to work, without having to multiply the equipment in your sports corner.
A 40 cm Pilates Ring which also hides a little trick
Its diameter of 40 cm and its limited weight facilitate its use indoors and its storage after training. A nice detail if your living room already serves as a gym for a few hours a week.
Domyos even found a rather clever second function for it. Once turned over, the ring can be used to hold and store a gym ball. Enough to avoid watching your ball cross the living room at the slightest involuntary kick.
At 14.99 euros, this Pilates Ring therefore relies on an uncomplicated formula: a lightweight accessory, intended for beginners as well as experienced practitioners, which allows you to vary muscular work without installing a collection of fitness machines at home.
