Improve Your Golf with Pilates; hit further, straighter and more accurately.Pilates will develop core muscles to maintain your spine angle while rotating around it as you swing. It will strengthen you lower body and mobilise your upper body – ideal for your golf swing. Your swing begins from your core and without a strong core the rest of your body will not move as efficiently, or effectively.
Pilates is an equal balance of stretch and strength, helping to balance out both sides of the body and therefore preventing injury. Increased body awareness will increase your game endurance, as well as your swing speed and accuracy.
By breathing properly, your overall body circulation increases for both you and the child you are carrying. Improved circulation will help prevent varicose veins and leg cramps, and will aid you during labour.
By following a Pilates exercise program throughout pregnancy, you will be able to re-gain your pre-pregnancy fitness level more easily. We recommend waiting at least 6 to 8 weeks after delivery to begin your Pilates program again. Your doctor will let you know the best time to re-establish your work-out routine.
Pilates does wonders for the body during pregnancy, specifically those areas most affected –pelvic floor, abdominals and lower back. By promoting muscle tone, strength and endurance, Pilates will not only help you to carry the extra weight during pregnancy while preparing you for the physical stress of labour, but make it easier to get back into shape after your baby is born.
A strong core is essential during pregnancy. Engaging in Pilates throughout pregnancy will strengthen your abdominal musculature and back muscles to support and elongate your spine as your baby grows. Pilates can ease the effects of labor and aid in quickly regaining your original figure.
