After a fairly weak effort on Monday that involved nothing more than 45 minutes on an exercise bike (while I was reading a book), I did a bit better last night. Leg presses, machine-aided squats, calf extensions, leg extensions, leg curls and glutes. Then 15-minutes on the eliptical at a good pace. 

Now the key is to not be bad during my non-gym, Thursday night.

I've stuck with it everyday since the 21st.  It's been a little difficult while having to take caution with the knee, but it's also allowed me to focus on other areas that I can tend to neglect... e.g. core, flexibility

I've failed miserably.   I've been a beach lizard for the past week and the only workout was snorkeling!   

Racquetball today though.

On day 5 now. 30 minutes every morning. Mason twists, steam engines, abdominal crunches, raised abdominal crunches, planking, side planking, supermans, windmills and a couple others. I'm using the SWORKIT app in my iPhone. Hopefully I can stick to it. 

Yours in earnest, Jason.

I do various things for my fitness and now that I'm more into golf (and not wrecking my game in the weight room) I am trying different things golf-related. Thought I'd pass on that I'm enjoying a certain exercise in the gym called the "sideways heisman". Might just be called "heisman". It's basically a lunge up on a step, lifting your knee very high while turning your shoulders far toward the leg being lifted. I do it with an 8 or 10 pound medicine ball, arms stretched straight out. Very good exercise that seems to have played a role in my improvement with the club in my hands.

Custom fit RBZ irons. Taylormade RBZ driver. Some crappy old high-bounce Macgregor wedge and an even older Mizuno 5 wood. Haven't settled on a ball yet - still looking. Decades of football, weightlifting and boxing came together to create the world's worst golfer. I'm slowly correcting that now.

Thoracic mobility with deep torso strength exercises.  This includes lower core stability functional movement combine with kettle bell swings, squats, and timed sequenced golf swings.  I like to also throw in some TRX, towel, and band work.

Final stretch of training for my first Half-Marathon. May 21st...

So running, running, and more running. Dropped down from 180 to about 157 so far. In the past 12 weeks, I'll have almost 200 miles in by race day.

That's a lot of dropped weight. Good luck with the race. Please let us know how you do.

I've been working out for about a month now. My wife and I joined a local gym that opened recently in the small town where we live. The gym is unsupervised so we punch in a code to get in and while my wife does her cardio, I'll alternate between lower and upper body workouts, three nights per week.

I have no idea what I'm doing. Just trying to keep the resistance on the light side and do the reps slower until I get to failure. I guess the main purpose is to try and keep my joints and tendons in shape while at the same time trying to regain some lost strength. Would be nice if I could lose a few pounds as well, but I think our diet needs a complete overhaul for that to happen.

Anyway, it feels good to get back into this with a bit more ambition than I've had over the last couple... decades.

We have a big planter box at edge of our front yard facing street. It has been looking a little haggard so I cleaned up the plants and then put down 800 lbs of topsoil and ten bags of red mulch (took two trips in SUV to Home Depot).  Probably sweated out a gallon but it looks better. Wife was happy.

Very cool getting into it for the first time. Just watch a lot of youtube videos...if you find the AthleanX videos, Jeff is very knowledgable and may be able to help you out.

Race went very well. Ended up running 13.51 miles, in 1:54:43...so an 8:30 miles pace. My main goal was under 2 hours, with a secondary goal of 1:55. So I JUST barely beat it!

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By Shindig · Posted

      Day 18 (September 22).  I understand the two club drill better, and was alternating that and hitting a few smooth 6-iron shots;  indoors, off a mat, into the net.  I spent about 20 minutes on this thus far tonight.

      I don't know your family or work situation, but have you considered relocating to Arizona?  I was out there the past month or so and played quite a few times;  it's hot, but not humid.   Or, if your house is sufficient size, consider setting up an indoor practice area, so at least when the weather or your schedule isn't cooperating, you can still hit a few. ... said Shindig, who has routinely disappeared for months, sometimes a year or more, at a time because of getting busy at work and just quietly sobs to himself as he walks past the room where his mat and net are during that time.  Dang, I need to not allow that to happen again.

      Thanks and it already has! Like I said, the last three months of my season were the best golf I've ever played. I'm within the realm of "this is fun for me" now. It was super tough grinding thru that break 90 consistently zone where I just kept hitting the toe, I kept popping up and out of every shot, getting steep. I am one of those guys doomed to shoot 95 forever if I don't really put a lot of work in, and I just wasn't gonna go out like that. My goal is definitely to get to that point of playing lots of courses and stuff like you are, but it's been the right thing for me to focus on developing a better motion. The amount of gym work too I've had to do? I see a DPT with TPI level 2 certification twice a week. I'm in the gym five days a week. The sun zaps the crap out of me for the gym too and I need that energy for all the other things I do on top of this stuff. I'm not really trying to become scratch either tho that would be nice! I'm just enjoying the puzzle that is golf, trying to overcome its challenges in an efficient and smart way. I'm very aware of the physical limitations I'm fighting so this summer has been continuing to address those with a good therapist.  But that's awesome, my goal is to get out there and enjoy new courses, play more rounds, just like you're doing! We'll see how this season goes, but I might be near doing that, if I'm not there already. I was only losing like one ball a round over those last three months or so, which is great for me on these sometimes tricky Florida courses.
