Wall Pilates explained: the at-home trend that actually works

Wall Pilates uses the wall as a partner: it gives feedback on alignment, support for balance and resistance for the legs and glutes.

Why it works

• The wall shows you where your body is, so form improves quickly.
• Exercises are low impact and easy to scale.
• You need no equipment beyond a mat.

Three moves

• Wall bridge: feet on the wall, lift the hips and hold.
• Wall sit with heel lifts.
• Leg circles with the feet against the wall.

Start with fifteen minutes, three times a week.
