Props enhance your DanceFIT workouts.
Using props in your virtual classes will add variety and fun, but will challenge you! Props can make an exercise more difficult to perform and challenge you to improve. Props can also offer support to prevent injury and aid in performing the exercise correctly.
Here are our five favorites:
Weighted pilates balls or dumbell hand weights
Used in: balletFIT, pilates with props, balletFIT cardio, express cardio toneFIT (suggested 1 & 3 pounds)
Link to purchase Shopping tip: the weighted pilates balls are sold individually, make sure you buy two. Some clients prefer the feel of traditional weights better. We also recommend adding a set of heavier weights 8-10 for a challenge in Express Cardio Bootcamp |
Franklin air ball

Pilates circle
Used in: deep stretch, roll & relax, pilates with props
Link to purchase Shopping tip: You can also find these on amazon/ target, etc. For our classes, I suggest the lighter resistance. |
Massage balls & yoga blocks
Link to purchase massage balls Link to purchase yoga blocks massage balls used in deep stretch, roll & relax yoga blocks used in roll & relax, deep stretch Shopping tip: there are a few other options out there for massage balls. Sandra prefers the 2.5 inch balls. If you attend roll & relax regularly we recommend getting 2 yoga blocks. A large cookbook is a great alternative, but the blocks will provide the best support. These yoga blocks also come with a strap which can be a nice alternative to the circle :) |
