The Exer-Soft Pilates Ball (also known as a Pilates overball or Pilates mini ball) can be used for matwork Pilates or reformer Pilates, as well as various fitness/physiotherapy/rehabilitation routines. It is used to support parts of the body such as the lower back, knees, or hips — creating an unstable surface to increase core engagement through balance — or by holding between the thighs, knees, ankles, or hands to activate specific muscles and improve posture.

This Pilates Soft Ball is anti-slip and anti-burst, meaning it increases safety by being easy to grip securely, and it will slowly deflate rather than burst if its maximum weight is exceeded. It can also be inflated or deflated with the included straw, depending on the exercise if it requires a firmer or a softer ball, or deflated entirely for storage or travelling. The larger 9″ and 12″ size are used by many Pilates teachers and studios and is especially suited to supporting larger muscle areas such as the lower back, while the 7″ is more suited to targeting smaller areas.
