Sorry for the delay in getting the Blog updated. My schedule has been quite hectic and there’s a lot of things going on relative to the NSMGA that have been pressing.
So, to get everyone up to speed on my “progress” with Fore-Max…
First of all, I have to say this may just be one of the best decisions I have ever made. If someone would have told me getting up at 4:30 am three days a week to go “work out” would make me feel THIS good, I would have done it years ago! As of yesterday (Monday January 23, 2012) I have 4 sessions under my belt (which is a notch tighter by the way – more on that later) and I am loving it! It’s been years since I have done anything that has pushed me so hard and motivated me more than what I am doing right now with Steve Heller at Fore-Max. He’s a professional trainer. He knows EXACTLY what I need. We have a plan, I have some goals and there isn’t anything going to get in the way of it. I figure if this is good enough for PGA, LPGA, Senior Tour and Nationwide Tour professionals to use as part of their training regime, it’s gotta be good enough for me. The big difference is working within a program that is designed to benefit GOLFERS yet provides overall well being and balance throughout your entire body.
I am already experiencing more flexibility, greater range of motion and new strength in my core from just a week of being on the program. Sunday, at the tournament at Vista Verde, I did not experience any pain in my hip at all (and that’s the first time in 4 years I can say I was pain free for an entire round of golf). I felt stronger, more limber and loose and I probably could have played another 18 holes! I can’t wait to see where we are a month from now!
For all of you that have asked me questions about the program… Flexibility first, balance, strength, and cardio. It is not “painful” in the way lifting causes… not that kind of pain. The pain is from stretching muscles, ligaments and tendons that have gotten “tight” over the years and “opening things up” (creating space) so the flexibility is there. The “pain” goes away quickly and it’s not like you’re so sore you can’t move or are uncomfortable. The unexpected benefit is the increase in energy I am experiencing (I’m sure if I said “increase in sex drive” EVERYONE would run over to Kierland and sign up immediately!), but, I guess with more “energy” there’s going to be room for that too!
I’d like to encourage everyone to make an appointment with Steve and take him up on his offer to do a free, 90 minute evaluation (just like he did with me) and see for yourself what this program can do for you. You’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain. There are already half a dozen NSMGA Members in the program and it would be great to have more of you involved. Give it a shot for a month or two. The worst thing that can happen is you’ll be more flexible, feel better and maybe increase your stamina 2 or 3 times over (and you can use that for whatever comes to mind).
