I am a 33 year old, 5'11, 165 pound electrican. I am not terribly out of shape, but not in great shape, either. My lower back has been bothering me ( gets so tight and painful sometimes I have to quit what I am doing ) and a couple of my buddies suggest I start stretching regularly.
I have decided to put together a complete weekly regimine and stick with it. I want it to be geared toward making me a better golfer, but also a well rounded plan that will keep me healthy overall.
I know many of you guys post about your workouts on here and I have spent time reading many of your posts.
I play ice hockey a couple months of the year, December and January, so my legs are fairly strong. I run year round, once a week or more, depending on weather. I don't spend much time lifting, although I am going to in one fashion or another in this new training.
My upper body could use some more muscle mass, and my core needs more strength.
I am considering incoporating pilates into this plan.. people say it does wonders for stretching muscles and building core strength. I play at least 5 or 6 rounds a month on average, and I think the stretching will benefit me greatly.
Diet is important here, also, and I assure you my diet is well balanced and generally a good one.
I really appreciate any input into building my routine/plan. Thanks, everyone. I will try to reply to any questions and comments when I can.
