Just finished a week of Pilates classes featuring the magic circle, although class members have happily renamed it anything from 'the circle of torture' to 'the hoop of hell'... 😆
Yes, the magic circle does add challenge (although it can be surprisingly helpful in other moves) but what I love about this piece of small equipment is how it allows you complete control of how hard you want to work. Through the exact same pattern of movement, the magic circle will allow everyone, whether you are 25 or 75, to find their appropriate edge.
Well done to everyone who took hold of their magic circles this week with a smile/grimace on their face and got stuck in - you are all stars...🌟💛 👏
P.S. And just a little mention for all those Pilates instructors out there who have done these classes multiple times this week. Feel the burn and do it anyway! 🤣
