4. Area of Application
The ring is an effective training device and can be used by men and women during
Pilates or full body training - regardless of whether the user is a beginner, or an
advanced practitioner.
The ELANEE Pilates ring is especially suited to women with weakened pelvic
floor, stomach and back muscles.
5. Functionality
The ELANEE Pilates ring is placed between the arms or legs, depending on the
desired muscle group. The ring has limited elastic properties, and provides a marked
resistance to pressure from the arms or legs.
The two holders on the ring help with getting the ring into the correct position between
the arms or legs. The curved grips provide a better hold and good padding.
The muscles are worked and strengthened by holding and continually pressing on
the ring, or alternatively pressing and releasing the ring. Weakened muscle groups
such as the pelvic floor, stomach and back muscles can be built up and stabilised,
depending on the training position, the intensity of the pressure and the number of
repetitions.
6. Application
1. Wear comfortable clothing when training and make sure you have enough space
around you. Have a padded sport mat (Pilates mat) ready.
2. Take your time when training
3. Follow the instructions in the attached exercise programme (D, GB, F only).
Tip: The length and intensity of the training session can be adjusted to suit your
personal level of fitness and comfort.
7. Safety Advice

ring in perfect condition (with no damage or sharp edges).
