Preparing for the NFL can mean a lot of things. For Garnett it meant a little of what Condoleezza Rice does.
During Stanford University’s graduation, San Francisco 49ers rookie OL Joshua Garnett tweeted that he and Condoleezza Rice had something in common: pilates. To prepare for the NFL, Garnett used the technique to increase his body awareness and strengthen his core. He has noticed a difference how he feels as a result.
Garnett said he took both yoga and pilates for several months prior to joining the 49ers at camp. There were several football players, wrestlers and swimmers who participated in the workout.
