MY TAKE ON GOLF FITNESS...

HELLO EVERYONE!

Brendon Elliott here again. I would like to talk about Golf & Fitness with you for a few moments. I recently started a multi phase health & fitness program which I believe should be an important consideration for all of us. Whether it be for improvement with your golf game or just for your health in general, you should consider a healthy lifestyle for yourself too. Remember…ALWAYS consult with your doctor before starting any health or fitness program.

PHASE ONE

In the first phase I worked on weight loss. In May of this year I reached my heaviest weight ever. I was tipping the scales at 240 pounds. Since then, I am proud to say that I have lost 51 pounds and got down to 189 pounds. Check out my before & after pictures below:

L Shirt

How did I do it? From May through mid August I was on the Nutisystem plan. From mid August on I have just been very careful about what I eat. I highly recommend Nutrisystem. Click on the banner below for more info on Nutrisystem:

PHASE TWO

I’m in the process now of starting phase two which is a fitness and training program. There is allot to choose from out there in terms of getting help with and putting together a fitness or golf specific fitness program and I’ll never make claims that one is any better than another. I am by far not an expert. I just started working with a TPI (Titlist Performance Institute) Certified Fitness Instructor by the name of Scott Shepard based out of Lake Mary/Heathrow Florida. Scott’s owns and operates Plane Performance Golf Fitness & Wellness. You can check out his company by clicking the banner below:

As I said, I am no expert but below are some links to some other golf fitness resources that I can recommend to you:

PHASE THREE

The third and final phase is more golf specific. This phase is taking place hand and hand with phase two. In phase three, I’m working on my own golf swing. Yes….even Club Professionals need help with their games! I’m no different than all of you out there, I struggle with my game. A lot of it has to do with a lack of play and practice but I have attributed a great deal of my bad swing habits to my poor fitness level. I’m confident that by going through this journey, I will see a dramatic improvement in my golf game. I think it is very important for everyone, no matter what the state of their golf game is, to work with a certified golf instructor. Even the world’s best, Tiger Woods goes to see his coach, Hank Haney constantly! Click the link below to find a PGA Instructor near you:

GOOD LUCK!!
