I haven't used mine very much in the last few years, but when I first got one, I used it with Karen Voight's pilates circle workout. it is tough and pretty good:
here's a link to the compilation DVD that includes her pilates circle workout: https://smile.amazon.com/Karen-Voigh...t+pilates+ring I think I also have a few DVDs by Madeleine Lewis and Ana Caban too, but I always go back to Karen Voight's workout. I have Mari Winsor's pilates circle workout - I believe I did it once or twice. I also have the weight watchers pilates circle workout with Lara Hudson but haven't tried it yet!

I bought one in December, I have used it once. I found it almost had too much resistance, I will have to try it again. I have Karen's workout that uses it but that is the only one, my DVD also has her abs and back pilates workout so if I don't end up using the circle workout at least it's not a total waste.
I didn't like the ring as much as I thought I would, but maybe I need to try it some more. I will probably hang onto it though, I want to get into pilates more and since I am finally almost done with school I will have more free time and can hopefully get into a more consistent routine. |

I have been enjoying using the pilates ring this summer. I've had a couple of them for years but recently started using it again more frequently. I enjoy Berndatte Giorgi's pilates ring dvd and there is a shorter, but very good, pilates circle workout on her express dvd. Her express dvd also has a stability ball and band workout on it too. I use the ring with Mari Winsor's circle workouts too which I like a lot. I recently purchased the WW kit with Lara Hudson but only tried one small segment, which seemed a bit on the easier side but I'll have to try the whole workout before I decide.
I have the Winsor pilates ring and the Magic Circle, which I think came with Karen Voight's dvd years ago. I prefer the Magic Circle but am always on the lookout for other rings and also other pilates ring workouts. |

Summer Breeze ~ I really do like the idea of having it for variety. I have a couple of Pilates workouts that have the band as well. My biggest reason for not trying Barre, Pilates on a long term basis was boredom. Light weights, bands, and the ring should mix it up well.

I wanted to get one because it's in a lot of videos on the Workout Hotel channel.
https://www.youtube.com/user/Workouthotel/featured I tried one of her workouts with dumbbells and really liked it. I've never used a Pilates Ring, but I'd like to try one of her other workouts.

I can't recommend Linda's (Barlates) Pilates Circle workouts enough. And they're free on youtube! She has the three on a DVD too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zhl5ai0D-Hk (there are three of them altogether)

[QUOTE=summer breeze;2733757]Lara Hudson's 10 MS stability ball workout is definitely more challenging than her other dvds. [QUOTE]
I love Lara's 10MS stability ball workout, and all her 10MS pilates workouts. Her more recent one with the long band is pretty intense too. I would love to see another one from her. Especially using the pilates ring!
