News #15 Video #4 February 2021 – Pilates Home Exercises, Workout Routine / Sample from Pilates for Golfers Class

Below a short video where I talk you through a sequence of Pilates & Core Strength Exercises. The Pilates Routine is a Home Exercises or Home Workout Routine I created for a group of Golfers, mainly from the Dún Laoghaire Golf Club, DLGC where I was teaching in-person group classes up to our initial Covid-19 lockdown (in Ireland) in March 2020.
Currently, I teach two “Online – Golfes Pilates & Core Strength Classes” (1) Tuesday 10am-11am and (2) Friday 10am-11am (Irish time).

Here a list of the Pilates movements and their benefits:

Start with a 5min general Warm-Up and bit loosening and then repeat below sequence three times / three rounds:

    1. Shoulder Bridge – Version 1 – 5 repetition
      Benefits: Back/Spine Mobility, a whole Back/Spine Stretch
    2. Shoulder Bridge – Version 2 – 5 repetition (right/left)
