GolfStrong Phase 2 Workout A today

I’m pretty sure I tore the meniscus in my right knee Wednesday. I see the doc next Wednesday. But I was able to do a GolfStrong workout, phase 2 A. I just did left side for anything involving straining the right knee.

I did Mobility GolfFlex before my practice session today. I also emailed  Mike Carroll from the app asking about how to modify my workouts since I hurt my knee. He responded right away with suggestions and some questions, which was nice.

GolfStrong Phase 2 B today with substitutions for some of the leg work. The cool thing about the app is you can do this and record the sub exercise. You just kind of want to sub a strength for strength or power for power.

GolfStrong Phase 2 workout C today. Right knee feels better but I took it easy on it.

Started GolfStrong Phase 3 today. Skipped any right leg work but did my PT exercises on that leg after. Also did Mobility GolfFlex before my practice this morning.

Did In Season Power workout 2 today. Got to work out with Spider-Man. OK, more like Spider-Boy, a 3 year old there with Mom, Dad and sister. Just adorable.

For better or worse, especially better, the next 14 or so weeks I will have a lot more time to work on golf and fitness.  (The "worse" part is I tend to fall off during the school year).

 

The plan, as it is, is to do the barbell exercises I enjoy (I have a setup at home), medicine ball (I was reminded earlier today of the drill with one in LSW -- that's going back into the regular to-do list), road biking, and Speed Sticks.  I also do a regular morning walk.  This is not to say that I don't have work-work to do in the summer, too, but I will have more available time for fitness, with a focus on golf improvement.  Or more time for golf improvement, with some time for fitness. 

For those who have been doing this Fit for Golf routine:  have you seen golf improvements from it?  Does it seem like something I should add to what I am doing?  Or is it too soon to tell?   At one point I looked into it, and I think the author lives and/or works not too far from me, although since this is a remote instruction, that doesn't affect my decision (it isn't like I'm likely to drop in to visit).
