Athletes in all different competitive sports have achieved marked improvements in their strength, stamina, endurance, and overall performance through use of the Bodylastics system. Below we've listed some of the more popular sports along with several exercises you can perform with Bodylastics to greatly benefit your abilities in each of them.

Baseball: Like many sports, baseball requires not just strength and speed, but superb hand-eye coordination as well - as the best of the game's hitters and fielders both of today and yesteryear will show.

With the following exercises, concentrate on higher reps (approx. 15) with lower to more moderate resistance, in that way increasing your speed and building up strength without losing any of your flexibility.

· Rotator Cuff Side Pull

· Front Shoulder Raise

· Rotator Cuff One Arm Up Rotation

· High Low Wood Chop

· Low High Wood Chop

· Standing Ab Twist

· Standing Side Shuffle

Golf: There are an unbelievable number of contributing factors involved in mastering this delicate sports. For just your swing alone, you need more than just strength and power; you also need form, control, and fluidity of motion.

Like with baseball, this program requires lots of reps (like 15-18) for each exercise (rather than fewer reps with higher resistance) in order to increase speed and power without losing any of your flexibility.

· Cross Body Triceps Extension (High)

· Standing Ab Twist

· Standing Biceps Curl

· Standing One Arm Chest Fly

· Squatted Back Row

· Stability Ball or Chair Two Arm Chest Press

Martial Arts: All martial arts involve an intricate combination of skills, from kicking and punching to evading and blocking. Speed and power are both of equal and immense importance.

Here you'll want to perform your first 5-8 reps of each set with extremely high resistance, then reduce the resistance to a more reasonable and tolerable level and for another 25-30 reps (or until failure). Repeat this process for each individual set.

· Standing Ab Twist

· One Leg Resisted High Kick

· One Arm Forward Punch

· Front Shoulder Raise

· Standing Lateral Raise

· Rear Wide Shoulder Pull

Tennis: A lot of twisting, turning, and swinging along with a lot of high-impact movement is involved in this fast-moving game. This means a successful tennis player needs to develop flexibility every bit as much as speed and strength.

For best results, use less resistance and higher reps (approx. 15 per set), in order to increase power and speed without compromising flexibility.

· Standing One Arm Chest Fly

· Overhead Triceps Extension

· Stability Ball or Chair Wide Rear Shoulder Pull

· Rotator Cuff One Arm Up Rotation

· High Low Wood Chop

· Standing Side Shuffle

· Standing Ab Twist

In each of these sports, the most successful athletes incorporate resistance training into their regimens. But resistance training with free weights and weight machines creates momentum which can, in turn, cause injury. Bodylastics, on the other hand, helps you develop enhanced speed, control and supported flexibility at the same time as building strength and power.
