Wunda Chair

Resembling a stylish little stool, the Pilates Chair (most commonly known as the Wunda Chair or Stability Chair) is an all rounder used to strengthen arms, and legs while stabalizing through the torso. Don't let the word "chair" fool you - it's not necessarily a sit-down workout. The Wunda chair is an important part of any Pilates instructors tool bag that allows literally hundreds of exercise variations.

While many of these Pilates exercises are performed seated on top and pressing down on the step/pedal with your feet, others entail lying on the floor, standing straight up, lunging forward or doing push-up like moves with the arms.

Like many peices of Pilates equipment the Wunda Chair uses adjustable spring resistance to chalenge the user.This apparatus activates the lower back, buttocks, shoulder, transverses abdominals and pelvic region and heightens neuromuscular coordination. From a rehabilitation perspective, the Pilates Wunda Chair or Stability Chair is particularly effective for stretching and rebalancing muscles that have been strained or injured.
