Mr_Theoo Posted January 20, 2015 Share Posted January 20, 2015 It's almost time to start getting the body tuned up for the season.

Shifty Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Good topic! For myself, I went to a tournament in Vegas last winter, by the last round, my last 9 holes were a write off, I was so exhausted! Even though I play volleyball and on 2 hockey teams in the winter. And golf, and 2 ball teams in the summer. Still I slowly was gaining weight and losing energy. So just playing sports never kept me in shape like it used to (I'm 40). So I set a goal that I would train myself to do that same tournament, but be able to walk the entire time and have the energy to finish. So I bought a push cart and walked 90% of my 70ish rounds last summer. Just by doing that I went from 240lbs to 215lbs. Almost back to my ideal weight. And I have energy to spare. So this past summer, I actually walked 2- 18 hole rounds in the same day. Was a little tired, but I finished strong. Something that was impossible only a year ago. Now this winter, I'm trying to improve my diet (sucks), and do flexibility training. I haven't golfed in awhile, but wow does the flexibilty training ever help for hockey as well. I move like I did 10 years ago. Should've done this a long time ago, but I was under the impression that I'd never get old... lol.

Aotearoa_Brad Posted January 27, 2015 Share Posted January 27, 2015 Great work Shifty! Sounds like you're definitely moving in the right direction! I've just recently started doing a mixture of Pilates and Yoga (and swimming in my off days) to try and strengthen and lengthen my muscles (particularly my core). I was having some back problems last year which was the impetus for my renewed enthusiasm. So far so good, but a long way to go yet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
