5-Bullet Friday will be your weekly dose of random information. I hope you enjoy and begin to follow!
* What I'm reading or rereading:
Last week I spoke about "When Breath Becomes Air". I finished this book a couple days ago and here is what I took away from it.
1. Follow your path..or your heart, or your gut.
2. Be grateful to your body
3. Consider your "plan"
*What caught my attention this week:
"I'm not the strongest. I'm not the fastest. But I'm really good at suffering." -Amelia Boone
Who is Amelia Boone? Amelia is considered the Michael Jordan of obstacle course racing. In the 2012 Toughest Mudder ( Toughest Mudder is a 24 hour event where individuals climb through obstacles in attempt to surpass 100 miles) she placed 2nd overall, losing by only 8 minutes to the winning male competitor and beating out 999 other racers! Oh yea, she is a full time attorney.
* Fit Tip of the Week:
Rolling your foot on top of a golf ball on the floor can increase your hamstring flexibility.
* Random Weekly Fact:
Steelers rookie and former Pitt running back James Connor has the #1 selling jersey in the NFL, surpassing our nemesis Tom Brady. James recently moved into my building and in my few run ins he is quality kid and I wish him all the luck in the world. He was dealt a tough hand two years ago and is proof of what hard work and dedication can accomplish!
* Golf Fit Tip of the Week:
Greg Norman has been a popular topic in our gym lately with clients and I thought this would be a great opportunity to pull from his website and backup things I have tried to put in the forefront of your fitness routines!
"Balance is necessary in maintaining appropriate spine (trunk and torso) positions throughout the swing. If balance is not maintained during the swinging action, shoulder turn, weight shift, and force transfer may be affected and the shot outcome will be compromised. As one grows older, the sensory organs and balance systems become less sensitive. It therefore might be advantageous to actually make better postural balance one of the primary parts of a conditioning program."
