Balance and Stability
Beth explained how both balance and stability are not only crucial for any sport, but also for everyday life. Without respect to the individual’s age or size, working on balance and stability will contribute significantly to injury prevention and enhance overall performance. “It is not possible to perform with any competence at all in any sport or even everyday life without a good foundation in the form of stability and balance,” Beth said. “Exercises that strengthen the lower body will reinforce both.”
Train for Golf
Beth stated that the sport uses the whole body, contrary to popular belief that it focuses primarily on arm strength. “The significance of lower body strength to achieve a full golf swing is often overlooked,” she said. To strengthen the lower body, Beth said to try exercises like goblet squats and jump squats. “Your lower body will be more powerful and cardio conditioning improved.” Beth continued with recommendations for push-ups and plank exercises as these work a variety of muscles and provide wide-ranging benefits to strengthen muscles important for lower golf scores.Moss also introduces listeners to a unique training method called kneeling rotations, which can help with improving the body's rotation - an essential part of a golf swing.
Train for Martial Arts
Switching gears to martial arts, Moss stated that much like golf, strength training and cardio are equally necessary in martial arts. She mentioned that strengthening specific muscles can protect muscles, tendons, and ligaments, making martial artists less prone to injuries through improved flexibility and range of motion. “Sparring in particular requires a lot of cardio fitness,” Beth said. “The added strength will aid power in striking and blocking.”
Dance, Dance, Dance Better
Finally, tackling the topic of dance, particularly ballet, Beth described how being physically strong and mentally disciplined are important to dancers. “While ballet dancers may not be frequent weightlifters, they indeed incorporate strength training into their routine,” Beth said. Most notably, Moss highlights the rise in popularity of Pilates among dancers, as it aids in creating lean muscles without bulk, a desirable aspect in ballet. “Pilates was founded by a man named Joseph Pilates back in the 1920’s,” Beth said. “The original intent of Pilates was a system of fitness for the military.” Joe Pilates based his work on three principles: breath, whole-body health and whole-body commitment; with the whole-body encompassing mind, body and spirit. “All three of these elements aid performance for golfers, martial artists and dancers.”
