The Pilates Program is an exercise
system focused on improving flexibility and strength for the total body
while also enhancing posture, balance, and coordination. It is
particularly effective in developing core strength. The core is your
trunk, from shoulders to the pelvis, which is vital for the over 50
golfers to strengthen, with your mission usually focused on: Hitting
longer drives and avoiding injuries.
What sets Pilates apart from other exercise programs?
It is based on quality, attention to detail on form and
technique, with fewer repetitions rather than quantity, as in other
programs. It is a safe and effective approach that provides the benefits
of stretching,
strengthening and control while keeping the whole body balanced and
strengthened. It's about focus, keeping the mind connected to the body.
Is Pilates for you?
Many after 50 golfers are NOT on any kind of strength and
flexibility fitness program. If you are ready to start on one, or if yours is not
helping you achieve your fitness, strength, or golf-playing goals,
Pilates may be the answer!
One thing is for sure -
By choosing no program, or the wrong one to maintain fitness after 50,
is a free ticket to injuries, missed playing time, and diminishing
performance on the golf course. Not to mention discomfort, especially in
the larger muscles groups such as; Shoulders and Neck, Low back, Quads
and Hamstrings.
