I love the magic circle. It provides both added support and resistance, which can really help you get the most out of your workout. If you don’t have a magic circle try substituting a small ball or omitting all props. Trust me, this is a good workout with or without the props. This class has some challenging abdominal variations to start. We use the ring’s resistance to activate our inner thighs in side-lying and finish with a couple of my favorite ways to use the ring in prone and front support.
