The “wunda” part of the wunda chair comes from the word ‘wonder’, and it can certainly do wonders for you.
The Wunda Chair was originally designed by Joseph H. Pilates for his trainees, who wanted a home use apparatus.
Exercises are executed from a lying, sitting, and standing position on the chair, as well as from positions to the sides of the chair. The program aims in improving stability and flexibility.
SWAN ON THE FLOOR
Prone position on the mat towards the chair, arms extended, palms holding pedals edges, head down, legs extended, hip width apart. Inhale and during exhalation lift your head and push the pedal to rise up from your upper back. Slowly return to starting position.
Repeat 10 times.
