Footwork: Single Leg on the Wunda Chair
Single Leg Footwork also known as Pumping Single Leg or Footwork Single Leg on the Pilates Wunda Chair is an excellent test of your connections on the chair. Noticing if you lose your height, your center or your control of the pedal. Typically done after doing Pumping or Footwork on the Wunda chair with lots of zest and energy. If you notice that you have one side that is stronger or more controlled than the other repeat on the other side. Have fun playing with the foot position that challenges you the most.
Press into the pedal as you lift it up to resist the spring!
After you’ve completed 8-10 reps on on the Toes, Arches and Heels then reach one leg forward from your center. If you find your body needs to do the one leg version on your Toes or Arches give that a go. Arms remain where you had them from all the Footwork variations. Either behind you head, hugging the side of the chair or layered on top of each other at shoulder height.
Lifting tall through your center as you press the pedal down. Maintain that lift as you bring the pedal back up. Repeat with zest several times. Then switch legs. The leg that is reaching out should be at hip height and from your center. If you’re feeling the hip flexors holiding it up. Find exercises to support the muscles around your leg to hold it from your center. Then come back and give this another go. Take your time adding this in so that it challenges your strength without taking you out of your connections.
