Pilates Dumb Waiter FAQs
Is it dumb to do the Pilates Dumb Waiter exercise?
No way! It’s actually a really smart move…forgive the pun. It will open up your chest and improve shoulder rotation. It also encourages good shoulder blade placement which will improve your posture and how you feel about yourself (correct posture sends happy endorphins whooshing through your body).
Is Pilates Dumb Waiter just for beginners?
No. Students of all levels can benefit from shoulder mobility.
Can I perform Pilates Dumb Waiter sitting down?
Yes. Sitting down makes it an ideal exercise for office workers who are hunched over a computer for hours on end.
What are the teaching directions for Pilates Dumb Waiter exercise?
Stand tall (or sit). Place both hands palm up in front of you with elbows bent to 90 degrees. Keeping elbows locked in by your sides, and shoulder blades gently slid down towards hips, slowly open your hands apart and then back together. Repeat 8 times.
