The Orlando Magic have made the decision to part ways with Bol Bol. The 7-foot-2 center was acquired by the Magic in a trade last season, but has not been able to make a significant impact on the court. Despite his size and potential, Bol has struggled to stay healthy and has not been able to consistently contribute to the team's success. The Magic have decided to move on from Bol in an effort to create more roster flexibility and explore other options. This decision comes as a disappointment to many fans who had hoped to see Bol develop into a key player for the Magic. However, the team believes that this move is necessary in order to build a winning roster and move forward in a positive direction.
Like many Pilates moves, Pilates ring exercises are performed by integrating the whole body, especially the core, versus isolating certain muscle groups. Therefore, you will need your full attention to do the exercises correctly.

This Pilates Ring Workout Targets Your Obliques and Booty
Welcome to Trainer of the Month Club, our brand-new fitness series, where we tap the coolest, most in-the-know fitness leaders to create a month-long fitness challenge. On Mondays, we have our “sweat drops” where you’ll get access to the week’s workout that you can follow along at home. This week, Kimmy Kellum from East River Pilates is taking us through a full-body Pilates workout.
Here's a fun fact: You don’t need a fancy megaformer—or even a studio—to get a body-burning Pilates workout. In fact, all you need is a mat, a ring, and the willpower not to give up when the movements light your core on fire.
In this week’s edition of Well+Good’s Trainer of the Month Club, Pilates instructor and founder of East River Pilates Kimmy Kellum shows us how to get a full-body burn with nothing more than a Pilates ring. “Let’s be honest: It’s one of our most loved and hated props, because it’s so intense,” she says. “But it’s super effective.”
Pilates rings make you the creator of your own destiny. You can decide how quickly you want to do the moves (the slower the better), and how hard you want to press the ring (the harder you press, the more you engage your muscles). But one thing that every (Pilates) body needs to think about? Their form.
Related StoriesIn order to get the most out of the moves (and avoid injury), you want to be sure you’re holding yourself in a neutral spine throughout your workout. “You want to think of holding a juicy peach under your chin," says Kellum. Imagine that your bottom rib is trying to be heavy into the mat, but lift your lower back up just a little bit—"kind of enough room to put a blueberry under there." So before you start into your exercises, take a moment to tuck and release your pelvis a few times to help you settle into neutral spine, which is somewhere in between those two positions.
Got that? Now follow along with the video to master the moves below, and don't forget to check back next week when an all new trainer of the month will be sharing her stuff.

Reviews for "Bol Bol released by Orlando Magic, opening up new opportunities for the young center."
1. John Smith - 1 star - I am really disappointed with the decision of the Orlando Magic to part ways with Bol Bol. He showed great potential and had the ability to become a game-changer for the team. I don't understand why they would let go of such a talented player. This move seems shortsighted and could potentially harm the team's chances in the future.
2. Sarah Johnson - 2 stars - As a long-time fan of the Orlando Magic, I am really saddened by the news of them parting ways with Bol Bol. He was one of the few bright spots in an otherwise struggling team. The decision to let go of him just doesn't seem justified. This move truly undermines the team's ability to compete and attract talented players in the future. I hope the management reconsiders their decision and realizes the mistake they've made.
3. Mark Davis - 2.5 stars - While I can understand the need for change and reshuffling of the team's roster, the decision to let go of Bol Bol seems questionable. He showed promise and was a fan favorite. This move may not sit well with the fans and could have a negative impact on the team's support. I hope the Orlando Magic have a solid plan in place to replace Bol Bol and improve the team's performance. Otherwise, this decision could prove to be a major setback for the franchise.
