I tried doing wall Pilates for 10 days. Here’s my honest opinion, as someone who works out nearly every day

Wall Pilates has been around for a while but it remains ever-popular, with a new workout cropping up on TikTok every week. It promises the same benefits as standard Pilates—a stronger core, better balance, and improved strength—but it doesn't cost a penny and requires no equipment.

The practice is similar to standard mat-based Pilates, but you use a wall to support you or provide resistance. For example, you might do a wall-based push-up to make the move easier, or you might push your feet against the wall during an exercise to add some resistance.
