Where health and beauty meets
What is Wall Pilates?
Wall Pilates is a great way to get moving by using only a Mat and a wall nearby. In this variation of traditional Pilates, you press up against a wall (with your feet, arms, back, or side) to practice squats, planks, etc. using the wall and your body weight to add resistance against gravity.
With slow, controlled movements, Wall Pilates can help you improve your flexibility and also increase balance and stability.
The Benefits of Wall Pilates
Easy Access
First and foremost, this workout is available to anyone who has a wall and a mat, with no need for any specialized pilates equipment. This also makes it easier for you to practice in the privacy of your home if you prefer not to go to a studio or while you are traveling and away from home.
The Mind-Body Connection
With this exercise, there is also a great mind-body connection as it improves kinesthesia (the ability to sense where your body is and how it is moving in space). With a good Wall Pilates exercise routine, you will also improve your mobility and flexibility by lengthening your muscles and improving your range of motion. Being mindful in exercise will help get you more in tune with your body.
Strength and Coordination
Many athletes love Pilates because of the impact it can have on coordination and strength. Whether you're a golfer or like to play tennis over the weekend, Wall Pilates will make you stronger, longer, and able to perform more accurate, balanced movements in your sport.
Health Benefits
One of the big reasons people start Pilates for the first time is because they need exercises that can help with a health issue such as Osteoporosis or arthritis. This exercise is known for increasing bone density. Wall Pilates is a gentle exercise that comes with a very low injury risk and a regular routine will help build bone mass.
Posture
Posture is an excellent way to stretch your spine and help with better spinal alignment. The workout also puts a lot of focus on the abs, the glutes, and the back muscles, improving your core muscles and helping to reduce unhealthy curvature of the spine. This will ultimately help with better posture as you achieve spinal alignment and get stronger in your core, relieving back aches and stiffness.
Pregnancy
Pregnant women can benefit from this type of exercise as it is a great way to not only adjust as you go through the different stages of your pregnancy, but it will also help prepare your body for the delivery. Often coupled with breathing exercises, Wall Pilates will relieve stress and help you relax. Depending on how you are doing in your pregnancy, Pilates exercises are very adaptable and you can adjust the intensity to match your needs.
