Ankle weights (Optional) I suggest choosing the 4lb option, giving you two 2lb weights.
I've designed this workout to improve external and internal hip rotation, hip and pelvic mobility, which can often help reduce low back pain. Also, strengthening and stabilizing the small muscles of the hip and pelvis contributes to stronger leg lines when doing skills that require active straddles and splits on and off the pole!
