How Pilates Helps With Other Athletic Activities
Enhance your performance in other athletic departments with a regular Pilates routine.
The Golfer
A golfer can improve their swing with Pilates by working on thoracic rotation and extension. Strengthening the deepest abdominal muscles as well as the back will help protect the golfer from pain and injuries.
The Cyclist
Pilates is the perfect workout for the cyclist. It helps strengthen the core and back to help maintain proper form on the bike. Pilates helps with hip stability and teaches how to properly engage muscles to prevent injury.
The Runner
Pilates helps runners identify and correct malalignments that inhibit their gait. It strengthens muscles that help maintain a better running posture, and loosens hips, legs, and back to help with a fluid, long stride.
The Weightlifter
Pilates is a weightlifter’s best friend. It helps understand proper form and alignment, and helps gain flexibility, providing more efficiency and power. A strong and engaged core helps prevent back injuries.
The Yogi
A regular Pilates practice helps the yogi strengthen their core and upper body, both of which are important for most yoga moves. Pilates helps to learn how to protect the back with correct core engagement.
