Relax your face. Hey, relax your face over there. Well, do you want that while I’m playing? Send it to your caddy. [Music] The FedEx Cup season comes to a close this week at the RSM Classic. And boy, do we have a treat in store for you today. My good buddy and the ultimate entertainer, Mark Huard, stops by to show us how he spins his every Tuesday, [Music] dude. You’re already getting a head start on me. Come on. How you been? Really good. Thanks for coming today. Thanks for having me. This is going to be a blast. A lot of giggling. I’m ready. Don’t be nervous. In and out, Mark. In and out. So, what are we doing here, dude? This is a real thing for you. Every Tuesday, you kind of find a random spot. Yeah, especially this late in the season. Yeah. I feel like for me, Pilates is awesome cuz it’s there’s no chance of getting hurt. Yeah. I feel like I’m getting a really good workout this late in the year, but I’m not like exerting too much. And that’s what I love about it so much. Just arms long at your side. Keep your hands relaxed. Let’s do bridge work. Tailbones pulled together. Abs engaged. Slowly lift up. So, you’re going to lift up. Yeah. And try to keep that carriage from moving. And then take a dip down. Almost touch the mat. Exhale. Lift back up. Beautiful. Keep that nice sense of space at the cervical. Trim back just a bit more. Nice. Good. Good. Just toss your legs for a second while I’m shaking out. That was good. Feel how challenging that was on one. Okay. So I mean that’s I had a I had a trainer my whole whole career out there I feel like and I have not exerted that much energy on a Tuesday work. No no chance. That’s the thing though is like it’s really hard. Yeah. And you could be in the best shape and you see and you see, you know, real professional athletes come in here all the time and do it and they think they’re in crazy good shape and then they do something that should be so easy like that and they can’t do it. It’s crazy. Uh reach back. Grab for your straps. Now, start with a big breath in. And as you exhale, press those long arms slowly toward the foot bar, toward the windows. Nice. Hold that there. Can you bicycle your legs out toward me? Exhale with each one. Beautiful. Both legs come out to me. Bottom rib than the mat. Navl to spine. Turn your palms in. How we doing? Are we alive? Inhale. Exhale. Squeeze. Excellent. Nice. Easy faces. Relax your face. Yeah. And if it’s getting to be too much, set your head down. You’ll still get a killer forward. I just love I love that line. Yeah. Fold your legs. Relax your face. Hey, relax your face over there. Well, do you want a little that while I’m playing? Send it to your caddy. Fold your legs. Fold your arms. Release your head. You want to do it in that order so people know you’re well trained. We got it. There you go. Let your can let your feet revive here. You can relax. Add ease. Go ahead and set those straps down. Good. All right. Come on up to standing. And from standing, we’re going to go into just a little bit of lunge work, which I think you’ll actually appreciate for today. [Music] Exhale on the down, inhale on the up. All right, Mark, when I asked you to do this, you were you’re cruising. And you’re still cruising. I mean, statistically, you’re probably okay. 94th coming into this week. Yeah. But is it like does it affect your sleep at night right now? No. I mean, there’s not a whole lot I can do about it other than try and play well. And I mean, at the end of the day, like like you said, numbers wise, I’m probably safe. Mhm. It’s always a stressful time of year. No matter where you are, there’s always something more you’d like to accomplish. So, yeah, it’s just it’s one of those situations where it really doesn’t unless you’re in the top 50, you’re always thinking about something. You’re 36. I mean, no, seriously. You know, the the median age out there has gone down so far in the last 10 or 15 years. like longevity is it’s a challenge out there. Yeah, I’m an old man now for DJ tour. For life, I’m young, but for for the tour, I’m I’m old. Um yeah, it it definitely I would say, you know, 3 4 years ago, I really started for the first time taking care of myself. Yeah. Well, I had a lot to make up for for the pre previous 32 years. Yeah. you know, especially doing a lot of this stuff late in the year. I played pretty well in the fall and I felt as good as I’ve ever felt that late in the season. I’m a guy who plays a ton of tournaments and so I I definitely need more of this to take care of myself a little better. I feel like I got a pretty good read on my buddies out there. The fun meter on my buddies. You’re at You’re at the top. Um, do you think over your career that’s helped or hurt you? Probably both. Yeah. You know, it’s like anything else in life. It’s balance. When I I’m having too much fun, my golf game is suffers. And when I’m not having enough fun, my golf game and my life suffers. Um, isn’t that crazy? Yeah. Yeah. It’s just It’s finding that perfect medium. We’re so pent up with our stress and and competitive stuff. You just got to let it out sometimes. Yeah. And knee comes more into the chest than behind you. Lift. Ah. Yes. Nice. Shoulders can just float away from your ears a little bit. Excellent. Inhale and slowly come up. Good. All right. So, reach for the spring bar. Hands are going to come to the outside. Beautiful. Keeping a neutral pelvis, keeping those shoulders down. Press much like you did when you were on the reformer. Feel that tension. Nice. Inhale. Slowly bring it back. Stop before you lose tension. Exhale. And again, press those arms. Beautiful. Nice. Retreat that bar back. Give a little shake out. Nice. Okay. What do you think um about the Broncos right now? Oh, dude. I’m on cloud nine. Are you? Yeah. I bet my resting heart rate was like I don’t know, 160 for the entire Sunday and into Monday. That was quite the game. Yeah. I mean, I think there’s been moments where we’ve definitely looked like frauds compared to our record, and then there’s moments where we’ve looked like the best team in the league. Where are you on Bo Knicks? I’m in on him. I, you know, I feel like he hasn’t played as well this year. Everybody has a little sophomore slump, but at times he’s looked incredible. I think he’s a gamer, which I love. Um, you’re a gamer. I’m like the biggest gamer ever on tour. And I mean that like Thanks, man. in the most positive way ever. Yeah. You know, I’m not I’m not a huge compliment. Yeah, I appreciate that. I’m not the most talented guy, but you know, I’ve been out here 10 seasons next year. You’re also like a a raw athlete out here. Like you you’re played basketball all state in high school. You know, you’re not going around telling everyone that. I didn’t even freaking know that until my producer researched it. But I can tell by playing with you that just watching your craft like you know what you’re doing. You’re probably pretty good at most sports. Yeah. I I pick up things naturally, you know. I feel like my parents did a good job of just making me a well well-rounded athlete. My dad played football in college. So, yeah. You know, I kind of did everything. I ski a bunch still. Um, where you ski at out there? Uh, well, we just moved to the Reno Tahoe area. So, I’m like 23 minutes from Mount Rose, which is insane. I had didn’t get into Bay Hill last year, so I had two days where I skied, I don’t know, 20 runs in the morning and played 18 in the afternoon. Pretty amazing. Yeah, that’s a that’s a nice gig. Yeah. Catch that handle with both hands. This is always a tricky one for people. So, you’re going to keep your hips square. Hug a tree. Yes. Keep the integrity of that shape. Exhale. Rotate your spine to center. Beautiful. Drop your left shoulder an inch and you got it. Exhale and rotate. Nice with the hip stability. Good. Good. Good. Yeah, that’s going to serve you well on the course for sure. All right. And then if your body if your bodies need to do other side, let me know if you win this week, dude. I mean, I get Do I get to claim it? No, we’ll be back next year. Okay, good. Nice. Drop your shoulders. Yeah. So, nudge your left hip forward just a touch. Lighten the load in your left. Beautiful. You’re going to exhale and press your arms forward. Almost like you’re doing a push-up in the air. Beautiful. Give me two more of those. Breathing out. Stay nice and long through that spine. Good. I love the breath work component of Pilates. Much like yoga, I feel like it helps me with golf tremendously because I forget to breathe out there a lot. I’m just over here thinking about relaxing my face the whole time. Yeah. I don’t know if that makes it into the cut, but it’s not so much for aesthetic. That’s just pain is what that is, is it? Yeah. Yeah. Pain. Looks like focus. Pain exiting the body through your face. Nice. JT Preston comes in here. You can do this. You want to come back later? We can train. Yeah. Nice. And then get your second foot split center. Lightly hold on to the handles so you’re not really reliant on them. Let your heels just sink. Should feel nice. Little gastro stretch. You can even go deeper into soius if you want. Put your right foot up on the chair pad. Leave your left foot on the pedal. Okay. So from there, lifting up. Don’t forget abdominals are your levitation. Lift up from that navl to string on the ceil. You starting to feel your quads a little bit. Yeah. Start to pulse up. Start to pulse up. Drop your shoulders. Drop your shoulder. Let’s go. Pulse. Eight. And seven. Little tiny pulses. Little tiny pulses. Yeah. Little tiny pulses. You got it. Hands can maybe come down. Yes. Four more. And three more. Don’t go anywhere. Pulse low. Eight. And seven. Keep those knees tracking with second toe. Breathe out. You have four more. You have three. Are you toast or can you stay? Stay. Pulse the back leg. Don’t let the front leg go. Are we done? We’re done. We’re done. You got Don’t let it fling though. It’s a mouse trap. There you go. You said last fall this this helped your game. How come not this fall? What’s the deal? just been a little more burned out. Yeah. Um and you know with the move and I got two little kids. Yeah. What’s family life like for you now? It’s great. They’re they’re three and almost five. Oh wow. Um are they think of it? Yeah. They’re here this week. Like full-time travel 80%. Uh which is great. You got to do it now before they start. Absolutely. Yeah. Um, so I mean, yeah, I’ve just been doing a lot more with them and um, I’ve been so happy at home since the move that I would say, yeah, I I I’ve just been a little less interested in golf this fall. Sure. Felt a little more burnt out, whereas last year, I don’t know, I was uh just feeling a little more. So, I’ve done a little less. I I probably should have done a little more. Uh, cuz I I do feel it made a huge difference last year. You know, it’s an interesting spot for a golfer because there’s it’s not like you can take a timeout and say, “Guys, I need a break. Everyone else stopped playing, too.” How do you how do you deal with the burnout? I mean, I’m lucky because I’ve always been a guy who likes to play. I’ve always played more. I think I actually hold the record for most tournaments in a really season. Yeah. 39 with that wraparound season. Wow. That’ll never be broken. Yeah. Um, but yeah, I mean, doing stuff like this, getting away from it, like we talked about, you know, like that that week when I didn’t get into Bay Hill and and going skiing and just being home in the mountains and with family, like that rejuvenated me so much. Heck yeah. Let’s try something different. Let’s do the stability balls. Okay. So, we’ll just kind of put them here, then. Just move and fold your legs. Place the soles of your feet on the mat. See if you can keep your feet exactly where they are. Tuck your elbows. Tuck your chin. Come all the way up. Nope. Yeah. Or maybe come on up. Hey, hey, hey. That wasn’t so bad. Good. And roll down. Take your time. Take your time. Take your time. Finish strong. Yeah. Nice. Good. Good. Good. Mark, I’m gas, dude. That was a blast. Um, I’m going to need like a week to recover from this. I really hope you have a great week and so I don’t feel bad about dragging you in here and doing it this week, but we really appreciate it, dude. That was killer. Yeah. No, you’re good, man. And I think you’re going to be surprised. I know you’re gassed right now, but that’s the great thing about Pilates is that I think you’re going to be all right tomorrow. You’re actually going to feel pretty good. Well, we’ll be watching this week, dude. Can’t wait to see. Thank you.
