Fitness and Pilates
Everyone's body composition is unique in how it moves through a motion. Adopting this philosophy allows each exercise to be designed to address patterns of imbalance. Giving a more balanced physique.
This mindfulness can also aid in the prevention of future injuries.
In my practice I combine the 5 principles of Pilates, along with traditional and non-traditional exercises to help tighten and tone the whole body. Utilizing the 5 principles allows for the proper execution of each exercise. This combination of breath, rib cage placement, shoulder stability, and head and neck alignment offers an opportunity to re-align the body and mind.
Incorporating these same techniques in golf fitness is just as beneficial. For a golfer, muscle imbalances can affect the legs, hips, arms, shoulders, and lower back. It can also affect your game, from the weekend warrior to the avid golfer. Your drives may be shorter and less accurate, your stamina may decrease, and the potential for strains, pulls and tears become much higher.
By strengthening the core of the body, the shoulder girdles and pelvis, you can improve hip rotation, range of motion in the shoulders and back stability leading to more powerful and accurate golf shots.
This full body exercise works all muscles and is easy on the joints. The end result is a flexible, symmetrically muscled body that is strengthened from the inside out.
