]]> PilatesStyle: How Pilates Keeps NFL Players Moving Eric Kendricks & Anthony Barr Hosted by Nikki Law Charles Blount 00:50:22 What happens when NFL players trade the weight room for a reformer? Turns out… a lot more than stretching. On this episode of Pilates Style, Nikki Law, founder of Force Pilates, sits down with NFL veterans Eric Kendricks and Anthony Barr for a funny, honest, and surprisingly technical conversation about how Pilates fits into elite athletic performance. Anthony opens up about his NFL career with the Minnesota Vikings and Dallas Cowboys and what training looks like now in retirement, while Eric reflects on entering his 12th NFL season after playing with the Vikings, Chargers, Cowboys, and 49ers. Both explain why Pilates became an important part of maintaining their bodies through years of football. They break down what professional athletes actually want from a Pilates instructor—including confidence, communication, hands-on tactile cueing, adaptability, and somebody who isn't terrified because a giant NFL linebacker just walked into the studio.
