How to DIY the Pilates Bean Bag Roll Up Device and Build Strength

The Pilates Bean Bag Roll-Up Device is a powerful small prop that strengthens your hands, wrists, forearms, and back by connecting your arms into your core or center, not to mention how this Pilates tool challenges your entire body to stand tall and strong against the weight of the bean bag.

If you’ve looked to buy one from a Pilates equipment manufacturer, you’ll know it can be pricey - but don’t worry! I’ll also show you how easy it is to DIY your very own bean bag roll-up device at home, so you can enjoy all the benefits without the cost. Helpful for those who suffer from arthritis, tennis elbow, and carpal tunnel syndrome and all Pilates lovers of all levels seeking to maintain or improve grip and wrist strength.

✏️Measurements for your DIY Bean Bag:

Dowel rod: 17 in (43.18 cm)

Rope: Max length of 9 ft long (2.7 meters) depending on your height

Sand/beans/rice/weights: Max of 5 lbs (2.27 kgs)
