Fitness Coach Warns Golfers AGAINT Yoga and Pilates

Tip! With Windsor Pilates becoming one of the best ever growth forms of conditioning it has acquired a large amount of attention on television, Radio and even from model stars such as Daisy Fuentes and Britney Spears. Given that Windsor Pilates was created by Joseph Pilates, a man whose origin is from Germany, there have been several unique techniques launched such as the trendy techniques of Scott Pilates, Yoga Pilates and even Power Pilates.

The resurgence of the so called mind/body exercise regimens such as Yoga and Pilates have filtered their way into many athletes’ training program in the hopes of improving their athletic performance. Rafael Moret, CSCS, sport performance coach and owner of www.MiamiGolfFitness.com , says it may be one of the biggest mistake athlete, especially golfers, could make.

“Golf demands a high degree of dynamic flexibility performed explosively at very high speeds. Activities like Yoga and Pilates don’t address these demands and can even be destructive to the function of the muscles and tendons,” says Moret. “In high speed activities like golf, the tendons function like springs or rubber bands to produce club-head-speed. The slower, more passive flexibility in Yoga and Pilates robs golfers of the elasticity that they need to drive the golf ball to the best of their ability and to conserve energy.” Moret utilizes a 4 step system that includes injury prevention exercises, strength training, golf specific exercises and sport specific stretching designed to help golfers achieve optimal flexibility and improve their on-course performance.

Rafael Moret has been featured on a number of websites world-wide that include interviews outlining his New Miami Golf Fitness Program and original articles covering physical conditioning and preparation for golfers. Rafael has helped golfers of all levels: all over the country improve their golf abilities.
