My old Gaiam ring was collecting dust. However, I really think I will use the Bally ring I got at Marshall's. It is smaller in size with good resistance and I see that being more comfortable. I will probably try to reacquire Bernadette's DVD. I would be more interested in recommendations where the ring is incorporated for a few exercises rather than a whole DVD based on it.

Warning old thread revived!
Now that it's been years later for this thread, I'll ask the same question ... does anyone use a Pilates Ring now?! I got rid of mine shortly after I started this thread and kind of wished I'd kept it.
If I did get another one, what workouts do you recommend, now that there are so many more to choose from?

I picked a nice one up at the thrift store a while ago for $2 but have yet to use it, lol.

I got one this summer on Amazon for about $15 and have found lots of youtube content that makes use of it:
Linda of Barlates, Cassey Ho, Workout Hotel, and Ange's Pilates. I also recently got a yoga wheel to do the Barlates series (yet to do), and the exercise loops to do the Barlates series (did and loved). Sandy O

I revived this thread because I'm looking for alternatives for resistance and strength. I'm already planning on using bands, light weights. But I thought the Ring might also be a good tool. Especially with Pilates, Barre, Callanetics.
I was so proud of myself this summer when I finally upped my poundage with my hand weights. But that has been short lived due to my joints not liking it. It's one of the reasons I'm taking a break from AWT and trying other methods. I think I might have used the Ring with one of Karen Voight workouts. I don't want to compromise on variety, yet I want solid workouts that offer good form and well rounded routines.
