The Stott pilates resistance bands are a great piece of equipment to travel with or use at home for additional resistance. They fold up smaller than a tank top and have so many uses. The green is lighter resistance and the blue one is heavier. I use them for both upper and lower body resistance.

Check out this Band Workout video to see some ideas on how to use them!

This OPTP soft foam roller is so nice to use for foam rolling. The softer surface makes the experience much more pleasant and enjoyable. It’s a bit more pricy than the black styrofoam foam $30 roller but it is absolutely worth it.

The Stability Ball is such a fun piece of equipment. I tell my clients that it will show their weaknesses—but that’s not a bad thing! I love thinking of Pilates as a growth journey - we all have weaknesses.

Your height will determine the size ball you should order. You want to be able to sit on it and have your feet flat on the floor.
- Order the 55 cm if you are under 5’4”.
- Order the 65 cm if you are 5’5”- 5’10”.
- Order the 75 if you are over 5’11”.

A little set of hand weights is great to have on hand to increase the intensity of your workout. You would be surprised what 2 lbs. can do for you! It can be very challenging. So I love this practical little set of 2 lb., 3 lb., and 5 lb. weights. You can’t go wrong having this little set handy.

These leg massagers are so relaxing. They help with circulation and swelling in the lower legs and feet. You can also increase the intensity and get a great calf massage.
