5-Bullet Friday 8/11/2017
Hi All
5-Bullet Friday will be your weekly dose of fun and random information on our Blog. I hope you enjoy and follow!
* What I'm reading or rereading:
Like last week, I am still chipping away at "I Feel Like Going On: Life, Game, and Glory" by Ray Lewis. It is fascinating!
From Amazon.com- "Ray Lewis, legendary Baltimore Ravens linebacker and one of the greatest defensive players of his generation, holds nothing back on the state of football as well as his troubled childhood, his rise to athletic greatness, the storm that threatened to ruin his NFL career, and the devastating injury that nearly cost him a final moment of glory."
*What caught my attention this week:
“Each year the US population spends more money on diets than the amount needed to feed all the hungry people in the rest of the world.”
― Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind
* Fit Tip of the Week:
The instinct to gorge on high calorie food is wired into our DNA. We can create habits to fight this!
* Random Weekly Quote:
“The decent method you follow is better than the perfect method you quit.”
― Timothy Ferriss, The 4-Hour Body.
* Golf Fitness Myth: "I have to mimic the golf swing in the gym to get "golf fit".
Many keen golfers, recognizing the need to strengthen the body to improve their golf game, hit the gym with their golf swing in mind. Generally the go to piece of equipment is the cable machine to perform some kind of weighted golf swing. “Golfish” exercises can be detrimental to your swing, despite the best intentions. You will have competing motor demands. Basically, in your attempt to replicate the swing, your brain files that information in the golf swing folder. After performing numerous altered swing patterns in the gym, these habits will cross over into your swing, impacting your mechanics. With the additional weight attached, you may sacrifice technique and stability in an attempt to mold that sought after swing position, in the process making unnecessary compensations. The best way to enhance the body to optimize performance is to develop sufficient stability, mobility and strength in a holistic manner, focusing on improving human movement quality such as squatting, lunging, hip hinging, pulling and pushing. When you become proficient in these movements, that movement literacy will carry over into you being able to meet the physical demands of the swing.

*What caught my attention this week:
4 Habits of World-Class Performers:
1. Surround yourself with thoroughbreds
2. Nail your morning routine
3. The way you do one thing...is the way you do everything
4. Life is a sprint
* Fit Tip of the Week:
Tennis Elbow! Elbow pain is reality and varies in degree. This pain is the result of repetitive stress to your elbow joint; usually at intensities your elbows are not yet ready to endure. So how can we begin to fix it? Check upstream. When your shoulder lacks strength and/or mobility, this places extra stress on your elbow joint, causing it to be enraged with anger! Once your chest, upper back, shoulders, biceps, and triceps get on the same page the pain will subside. Now, this is not a quick fix. It took time to wear your joints down and its going to take time to build them back up. With a little physical preparation to these few areas, we can get rid of OR prevent elbow pain altogether.
* Random Weekly Fact:
Being dehydrated reduces exercise performance and disrupts sleep! Make sure you hydrate for peak performance and rest. Beginning a simple water program can jump start your new habit.
* Golf Fit Tip of the Week:
Train all planes! One of the most important things is the importance of training your body in multiple planes of motion. Make sure you work in exercises that function in the frontal plane (moving to and from the body midline- ie jumping jax), the sagittal plane (flexion and extension-ie sit up), and the transverse plane (rotational-ie russian twists).
