November Move of the Month: Goal Post Rows! đ
Itâs football season and we are ready to score! If youâre ready to strengthen your back, improve your posture, and celebrate that winning touchdown, look no further than our Move of the Month: Goal Post Rows! This reformer exercise isnât just about sculpting your back and shoulders; itâs your secret weapon for stability, balance, and a strong, confident posture.
Why Goal Post Rows?
In Pilates, Goal Post Rows on the reformer are the ultimate posture boosters. As you pull the straps back and bring your arms into that classic âgoal postâ position, youâre activating all the key muscles along your back and shoulders. These muscles are often underused in our daily, forward-leaning habits, like typing, driving, or mindless scrolling. This move opens the chest, strengthens the upper back, and reinforces alignment, which helps combat the effects of our modern, slouch-heavy lives.
How It Helps Off the Field
You donât need to be an MVP to appreciate the benefits of Goal Post Rows:
Better Posture: Think of it as the anti-slouch workout. This exercise encourages a proud, upright posture thatâs both attractive and good for spinal health.
Shoulder Stability: Goal Post Rows build strength around the shoulder girdle, which is essential for everyday arm movements, from lifting groceries to throwing a football.
Core Activation: Just like the pros, youâll be using your core to keep you grounded as you pull those arms back, building a stable base for any movement.
