Best ball for bar workouts?

[faith458]

I have a hard time keeping the ball in place too. I always wondered if it is because I'm short. My other problem is that when the ball pops out the bulldog runs for it. I've had enough problems with him trying to get the ball when it's between my knees or feet when I'm doing the Dailey Method.

I got one of these (the one that says throw/catch). I'd used the Pure Barre ball in class & had no trouble with it (vs. the sticky pink ball from the Xtend instructor's 10-minute-solution pilates dvd, which is great for that workout but slips in barre when I wear yoga pants, which I always do). This is the same as the Pure Barre ball, as far as I can tell, but w/ different colors. It's textured the same way. I like it.

I tried shorts this morning and it worked! My blue ball stayed in place.

Which means I spent the entire workout looking at the P57 girls in their long pants thinking "how do they manage it????" and feeling like they know some secret to the universe.

So, solution found. Which means my legs are going to be blue throughout winter...

I have the FitBall. I also found that wearing shorts was the best way to keep the ball behind my knee. When I wear long pants it just gets too frustrating to try to keep in in place.
