Golf Fitness

Golfers are athletes.  The more fit you are the better your score can be.  Pros train hard and so should you!  Learn some more exercises to assist in making your swing strong and accurate.

Simple at home exercises: 

• Weak hamstrings/glutes (backside):

• Lift up into a bridge and hold one leg out hip height for up to 20 seconds each side.  This will improve hamstring strength.  (If you get a "charlie horse" this is one you need to work on)    
• Lift your body up into a bridge.  Activate your glutes by holding up there while you lift the toes than heels, alternating a few times.  
• Torso rotation (range of motion for your swing):

 Lay on one side of the body to allow your head to rest on the ground with bent knees and elbows (fetal position).  Open your top arm to the opposite wall with a bent elbow and gaze at the ceiling. (Ideally you want to be able to touch the ground with the arm while keeping your hips stacked)  Make sure you repeat on the other side!

• Lat mobility (prevent rounded shoulders):  
• Sit back over your heels in a child's pose and flip you hands to face the ceiling.  Try lifting one arm off the ground at a time than both together.  Too difficult?  Place one fist under your forehead to give you more leverage doing one side at a time. (Hint: do the torso rotation exercise from above then repeat this lat one to see improvement)

Barre Comes to Core!

Dancers are known for their long, slender body types.  They have flexibility and grace.  Maybe its because the more you stand the more calories you burn.  You also work balance, stability and the core.  

Unfortunately most of Pilates is on the floor.  It's important for balance and coordination that more functional movements are brought into Pilates.  Standing leg work in a barre class is a must and will add a challenge for your advanced clients.  Posture starts at the feet, so creating a strong base of support will help align the rest of the body.

Now you can have the body of a dancer!  Try the new barre classes at our studio and burn more calories while sculpting beautiful, lean muscles!

Meet Instructor: Meghan Fidge

Q: Where did you grow up?

I grew up in Michigan.  I've lived in Northville my entire life and am an alumni of Northville High School.

Q:What inspired you to become an instructor?

I had an internship in high school at Poise Pilates where I was introduced to the world of Pilates equipment classes.  It made me better at Pom Pon and I got hooked.  Pilates is something you can do at any age and ability which is what makes it so unique.  Its very fulfilling to have a  flexible career where I'm able to teach people how to lead happy, healthy lives. 

Certifications:

• American Council on Exercise (ACE) Personal Trainer Certification
• TRX Suspension Training Certification
• Core Dynamics Pilates Certification
• Associates Degree in English Creative Writing and Specialization in Kinesiology Health Promotion (MSU) 

Q: How long have you been instructing?

I've been teaching Pilates since 2008.  In 2011, I began teaching personal training and TRX.

Q: What types of classes do you teach at Core Sport?

I teach Pilates Mat, Pilates Tower, Supermodel Slim and TRX.

My favorite class to teach is Pilates Mat (but really anything with Pilates).  There are over 500 exercises in the system and it never gets dull.  You can do the same exercise on the mat, add a prop or take it to the equipment and its completely different.  Pilates is highly detailed yet will improve your posture and take inches off your body in no time!

Previous places of employment:

• Poise Pilates Northville, Michigan
• Synergy Pilates West Bloomfield, Michigan 
• Franklin Athletic Club Southfield, Michigan
• YMCA (Lansing, Dewitt, Livonia, and Farmington Hills)

Currently also teaches at:

• Livonia Community Rec Center

Hobbies/Interests:

I love gymnastics, horseback riding, watching movies, comic books, knitting, blogging about fitness (ThePilatesHundred) and my cat Fizzle.


Q: What's on your "Bucket List"?
Write a novel, run a marathon, bungee jump, play the guitar, and travel (Hawaii, Alaska, California, Australia).

Favorite Quote:

"Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly."
