The exercise ball is a lightweight versatile piece of equipment that is great for strengthening the core muscles. Pilates is a method that is based on nine principles. There is control in which you use the combination of mind and body for coordination. This takes concentration, another principle used in the pilates method to focus on what your body is doing. The goal is for postural alignment, being aware of the position of your body parts for the proper alignment.

To be able to properly do these three principles you need to use your core. In pilates centering is another principle that is used, this is focusing on using your core muscles. To help in doing this proper breathing is used. Breathing is an important part in the pilates method, taking a deep breath into the back of the rib cage helps to replenish the body, and adjust your postural alignment. The breathing also helps to begin each movement.

The other four principles are the flow and precision of each movement, building up stamina to increase intensity, and relaxation. Trying to put all these principles together does take time, and can sometimes feel overwhelming. An exercise ball is an inexpensive tool that can help in bringing all these principles together. When you think about it you have to use three of the basic principles, concentration, centering, and coordination just to be able to sit on the ball and keep it from moving.

If you are advanced in pilates and have built up stamina to increase intensity you can incorporate a pilates circle into your exercise ball workout. No matter what your level of knowledge or physical fitness is you can easily find a workout using an exercise ball and pilates that suits you. You can find free workouts listed on the internet and a variety of DVD’s.
