(e.g. As analternative to lifting weights?)Instead of the body following the machine,Kinesis follows the body, allowing for freerange of movement with no compromise to theresistance load. In effect, Kinesis Personalfuses aerobic and anaerobic exercise. It’s notpumping iron, running miles or doing yoga. Butit does engage muscle and movement at thesame time. “Functional fitness” has becomea marketing buzzword, but it basically meanspreparing - integrating - your neuromuscularand skeletal systems to handle the rigors ofwhatever activity you choose; versatile enoughto aid in many areas including sport-specifictraining, such as golf.How does training withKinesis Personal benefit golfers?(Both men and women)?Kinesis is a different way to engage with therecent functional movement trend. It’s easyto set up, and suits all levels of ability. Thereare many resources available, even coursesspecifically designed to improve golfingtechnique and strength.Different muscles can be trained by simplychanging the exercise position. The FullGravity technology allows the handles toautomatically adapt to each user size, withoutany required adjustment.It really encourages use of the often talkedabout core muscles – the central part of yourbody and all related spine-stabilising muscles.The golf swing requires a great deal ofathleticism from a golfer’s body at any level.A golfer needs a whole host of attributes;strength, power, flexibility, balance, corestability, muscular endurance, co-ordination,mobility, good body awareness and of coursetechnique.Through training and conditioning a golfer candevelop and improve these physical attributesto better their golf specific fitness, theiroverall game and also reduce their risk of injury.In order to improve performance in any sporttraining must be specific to the demands ofthe game involved and golf is no different.Therefore, Technogym have, in conjunctionwith The PGA, designed a general conditioningprogramme which addresses the key areas ofimportance specific to the game of golf andthe golf swing:• Flexibility and stability• Core strengthening• Rotation• Lower body strength, power and mobility• Upper body mobility and stabilityvisit www.technogym.com for moreinformation.67
