Pilates has become one of the most popular exercises of choice for a variety of people and reasons.
Famous singers and actresses do it. Professional basketball player Jason Kidd does it, and you may have heard that golfers Tiger Woods and Annika Sorenstam do it.
One large misconception about Pilates is that it involves only stretching, and is mainly designed for women. However, Pilates got its namesake from the person who developed it over 100 years ago—Joseph Pilates! Although men and women alike practice golf, men often overlook Pilates due to the girlie misconception it tends to hold.
In actuality, Pilates and golf are a natural blend, because all of the muscles required for golf are trained during Pilates. Both mat work and apparatus work benefit golfers in the areas of injury prevention and longevity, and can even improve accuracy, distance, and overall golf score!
