That’s What We’re Talking About!

USA Today writes, “Male athletes get no pain, big gains from Pilates“
Professional athletes- basketball players, football players, golfers- are interviewed.
“For [the Nets superstar point guard] Kidd, Pilates is all about finding the edge. He estimates 30% of his strength and flexibility training comes from Pilates. “Pilates has made me quicker, more explosive,” he says.”
“For Buffalo Bills Pro Bowl offensive guard Ruben Brown, Pilates is all about preventing injury.
How has his body responded to Pilates?
“I came out of the season injury-free,” he says. “I used to feel like crap after practice and games but not since Pilates.
“I learned how to breathe through my muscles. My posture is better. I can run more fluidly. And I increased my bench workouts.”
“Caroline Schmid, [PGA Tour pro Rocco] Mediate’s Pilates instructor, says, “The golf swing is a little one-sided, which can create imbalance in the body. Pilates helps to balance out the body against the forces of the swing. It helps to create less torque in the spine because you learn to swing from your center and not from your limbs.”
These are great testimonials! Use them to talk the hard-core men in your world into trying something new. As Curt Schilling, the Boston Red Sox star pitcher, says, “By the third month I was more powerful and flexible than ever before. And I’d lost 15 pounds.”
