These Push Ups is the only one that is symmetrical. The instability of the pedal under your feet and the amount of weight in the arms makes it hard.

On the Wunda Chair, you can feel if your body loses length in your extension because you have less support than you would on the Mat or Cadillac.


Mermaid on Top of the Wunda Chair is more about the lift and reach then moving the pedal. Just like all Pilates exercises. Press from your back as you lift.


When you do the Star on the Chair you are not focusing on lifting the pedal but instead finding length and strength. Can you reach through your center?


The Pull Up is one of my absolute favorites because it teaches you the down reach you need in every Pilates exercise. Drop a spring if you need a challenge.

This is more difficult than doing it on the High Chair because you may have the fear of falling. You also have less springs to assist you going up and down.

I’ll never forget the first time I learned Going Upside. My teacher told me to levitate. Yep, just rise up without leaning into my top leg.


A great exercise to learn how and practice the press and reach through a standing leg while moving the other leg inside the hip without moving your pelvis.


In Pilates, there is a down reach and an up reach. Or a down stretch and an up stretch. You cannot do an exercise without having both!

Sometimes called Side Pull Ups or Snake prep. Doesn’t matter what you call it. It matters more that you use it to teach your body something it needs.


First, try doing this with your legs together. If that is going well, then you can try adding the split leg version. But, if it does not, then skip it.


If you’re already doing Tendon Stretch on the Reformer, practicing it on the chair can help you fine-tune without messing up your Reformer flow.


An excellent way to challenge your coordination, balance, strength and stretch. This exercise is great to challenge what you’ve learned on the High Chair.


This exercise strengthens your seat, your back and opens the front of your hips and chest. Table will help you do more Pilates exercises better!


This is really essential for connecting your arms to your back and your legs to your seat. It’s not a big glamorous movement. It’s small and mighty!


Footwork on the Wunda Chair doesn’t care how much you can push down on the pedal but, rather, how much you can pull up on the pedal while pushing down.


The first time I did Reverse Teaser on top of the Wunda Chair the apprentice teaching me placed my hips too far back and I almost fell off! From then on I never forgot to bring the hips as close to the back of the chair as possible for my body or my client’s body.

If you love the Push Down on the Wunda Chair you will really love this one arm version!
