How to adjust the exercises if don't have a Pilates Ball

If you don't have Pilates ball, that's no big deal – here are variations of the exercises you can do instead!

Rotation & Wall Squat

The Rotation can be done without a ball in the same way.
Instead of a wall squat (with the ball we're moving up and down) you can just hold it low.
Instead of pulses, hold the wall squat and lift one heel at a time.

Standing Push Up at the Wall & Standing Crunch

Instead of rolling the ball along the wall, you can simply slide along the wall with your hand.
The crunch works just as well without the ball.

Curtsy Squat, Side Leg Lift, Squeeze/Kick back

You don't need the ball here – however, if you'd like to have some resistance, roll up one big towel (or two small ones) and place it behind your knee.

Instead of squeezing, pulse back, little kicks.

Bicycle Crunch

Same movement with or without the Pilates ball.

Bridge

The exercises are very close, whether you're using a ball or not.
1. Exercise (Bridge lifts, foot at the wall): You can keep your entire foot at the wall or rise onto your toes; the focus is on the leg with the grounded foot.
2. Exercise (extend and bend the lifted leg): Slide the foot along the wall or draw the knee to your upper body and extend to tap the wall.
3. Exercise (extend and lift, bend and lower): Just like the second exercises, but this time we add the hips.
