Well, I'll be honest. I have been lazy, Lazy for awhile now. I blame it on not golfing. Since I have not been on the golf course in months, (since September) my workout routine disappeared probably about as quickly as my golf game disappeared. After the warm weather over the weekend, I realized, golf season is coming quickly. Hopefully, within the next 4-6 weeks. (yes I'm optomistic that by late March, I will be playing a few holes working into rounds of golf by early to mid April.) Anyway, I have found that with lack of workout routine, my strength and flexibility has disappeared. I have to start getting back in the swing (sorry couldn't resist) of some sort of exercise routine. In previous years, I have been doing core performance exercises. They are great for strength, stability and flexibility of the spine and hips. I found that I was hitting the ball further and was without pain when I was done walking 18 holes. But, like most exercise routines, I get bored, and am looking for something new. Luckily, I found something else to work on at TPI (Titleist Perfromance Institute). Exercises very specific for golf, with some video, and tips to help. There are specific exercises for mobility, stability, posture, balance, strength, cardio-vascular, and power. Knowing where my specific problems are with golfing, (poor starting posture, flexibility, poor transition balance), it gives me some options to start working on the weaknesses of my golf game.
The other nice part about TPI is they offer different levels of certification to become an instructor for them. Level 1 is basic, and Level 2 more advanced. I am considering going to the basic course, but it will not be until later in the year (August or September), so I will not be much help to teach the TPI program now, but can still help with other strength and flexibility issues that you may have now. I am planning on bringing TPI to our clinic next winter.
I will keep you informed how my routine works. For now, I need to get motivated to get started. I plan on doing that tonite.
