You can do a chest press using a Pilates toning ring.  Begin by lying on your back with your knees bent and your abs tight.  Hold the toning ring over your chest with both hands.  Keep your elbows straight out to the sides so that they are parallel to the floor.  Make sure that your hands are open as you press against the outsides of the ring.  Hold for 2 seconds and release.  Repeat this movement for 3 sets of 12 to start.

Use this arm exercise to work out your back, arms and shoulders.  Begin by standing up straight.  Make sure that your feet are shoulders width apart and that your abs are tight.  Put your arms straight out in front of you and place them inside the Pilates toning ring, at about the middle of the forearm.  Press outward against the ring.  Hold for 2 seconds and release.  Repeat this motion for 3 sets of 15 repetitions.

Try using the Pilates toning ring to tone your legs.  Start by lying on your right side, using your right hand to prop up your head.  Place your right leg inside the ring and let your left leg hover just above the ring.  Now move your left forwards and backwards so that it traces the ring, hovering above it.  Trace the outside of the ring going forward about 10 times and then trace the outside of the ring going backward about 10 times.  Switch sides and repeat the movement for 2 sets, 20 repetitions on each side (10 forward and 10 backward).
