Doesn't look very effective unless the goal isn't just to stay active?

It's been effective for me, I still consider myself a novice. I'm eating more and lifting heavier than when I started and I've stayed at same weight. That's been the goal.

I'm curious why do you think it isn't effective? Each workout takes about an hour and a half and I'm doing it four days a week.

Interesting never heard of him though that isn't saying much obv.

Effective might have been a bit misleading. Should have said efficient and effective. Theres a couple things first it's a classic case of too much too soon. A beginner/novice can get away with doing fairly little and should. If you start out with a half a dozen exercises for legs what are you going to do when that stops working? Also simply increasing the number of exercises you do won't speed up the pace of development significantly but it will slow down recovery(as a novice).

I don't doubt  getting results but you could do less and get the same results and it would probably be a better choice in the long haul. Your program is basically a bodybuilding split where you train each muscle 1/week and focus on the upper body. It isn't a very efficient method especially for a golfer.

 

Did not mean to come off harsh. Hope I didint. Its just that Ive seen so many poor programs made by IG fitness models that Im allergic to them at this point.

I agree with this being a bodybuilding style workout. It looks very similar to a BB style that I did a couple years ago. Lighter weight with a lot of reps.

No worries dude, thanks for your input. Yeah it's not really a "golf specific" program, more for strength/muscle building, especially the legs/lower back which can't hurt for golf. For mobility work I use bands and a good amount of dynamic stretching and foam rolling. I also do some drill/mapping golf swings between sets. 

[AbsoluteTruths]

Warmup:
3 sets of the following:
5 Prying Goblet Squats
5 Hip briges
5 KB Halos

Workout:
5 sets of 10 KB swings 16K

5 sets of 1 each side Turkish Get Ups 9K

I took a 60 minute class of power yoga today which I spoke about in more detail in my thread:

 

I'm trying yoga in order to increase my flexibility and get some cardio at the same time.  It was really interesting but I'm not sure if it's for me.

Has anyone ever tried this calculator.  It says someone that weights 270 pounds, doing power yoga for 60 minutes will burn about 850 calories.  It seemed like a lot and wanted to see if anyone thought that seemed about right.

[nevets88]

Pushups 3 x 70

Elbow planks 3 x 2:30

Lower ab reverse curls 3 x 13

Pullups 3 x 7

Snow shoveling 1 x large driveway

Snow shoveling 1 x porch roof, 2.5 feet of wet snow

I'm tired. I think I'll pass on the running bit.

I read somewhere that running burns about 100 calories a mile. Maybe thats a comparison to use.

I do some similar golf specific exercises. Besides the Joey D stuff, I have a core and plyometric workout that is pretty intense. I use Tabata intervals for the sets. The ones Nick shows are just a small part of a good workout.

Have finally decided that I need to do something about getting fit.  Last couple of rounds was in a cart and when you feel tired after hitting 90 or so shots you know fitness is important.  Started walking on treadmill only so far.  Yesterday was about 25 minutes in 5 or 10 minute stretches and today was two 15 minute stretches.  Burning about 300 calories is a start.

The goal is push it up to at least 30 minutes at a stretch and eventually to an hour, and burn no less than 500 calories, if not more.  Once that is a habit move onto cardio plus some golf specific workouts, primarily targeting the core muscles.

Will update regularly and hope to see an improvement in my fitness, shape and weight

[pganapathy]

Today also walking on treadmill in 10, then 20 and then 10 minute stretches and burnt about 350 calories maybe.  Less intense than yesterday but happy with the fact that I am attempting to stick to the programme.

Here's some of Lexi Thompson's workout:

Treadmill belt pushes. 10 seconds on (sprint) 20 seconds off (walk). 4 sets. "You guys have been wanting a video of my workouts, so here you go! Sled pull with 55lbs - 2 lengths Lunge walk with 40 lbs 20 reps. Alternating 4 lb med ball toss- 8 each way. Partner sit up with 10lb medicine ball - at least 30 reps. Typewriter- 8 each way. 4 sets of these then 20 min cardio."

I gotta get with the program.

[Hardspoon]

This is my "standard" workout...I do it after a few sets of bodyweight exercises (pushups, pullups, etc.):

Weekend exercise regimen consisted of two rounds of golf.  For me that was more useful and helped with my fitness.  Showed me how much more I need to work on to get my fitness and golf distance up.  Hitting well but need more core workouts to improve

[Par Fore]

Along with getting back into golf, working on getting back in shape.  Right now about 20 pounds heavy, clothes barely fit, yada yada....

Today's workout, legs followed by accidental basketball.  4 sets of leg presses, 4 sets of calves, 3 sets of quads, and 3 sets of hams....was shooting around afterwards to loosen up before heading home, ended up playing 20 minutes of 2 on 2.  Good sweat, good workout.  200 pounds today, goal is 180.

Over the weekend, SKLZ Golf Strong program - Distance and Accuracy. Kicks your butt.

A question, are you doing these 200 - 250 press ups as one continuous set? Likewise are you holding a plank for 8 minutes? If you are, big respect!!
