Thanks for sharing. You motivated me to continue to be active so I can enjoy playing golf, bike racing, ice hockey, soccer, and basketball games with seniors.

Thanks. I am going to play pick up basketball tomorrow morning. Then golf at an executive course in the afternoon. End the day of activity with a 30 minute cool down on the elliptical machine.

Started the morning with 45 minutes on the elliptical machine. Then did light power clean and push press for three sets of 8 reps, alternating with kettlebell swings for 10 reps. Cool down with 20 mins of indoor spinning as a recovery ride.

Played 18 holes on an executive course hitting two balls. 

After my round of golf, I went  back to the gym and did 30 minutes on the elliptical machine at a recovery pace. Finally, drank my protein shake.

I will do the same routine tomorrow.

I like my new golf workout routine: elliptical machine, light Dumbbell Power Clean and press 3x8, kettlebell swings, and indoor spinning cooldown. My body is fully awake when I step on the first tee.

After finishing another 18 holes of golf, shot a 20 over par, I finished with 15 minutes of indoor spinning. Just finished lunch. Take a shower and then a nap to complete my afternoon.

How are your fitness workouts going? Are you playing any golf?

 

I live in Wisconsin so no golf until this spring. Last year I  developed a club which uses my Yoga philosophy in the respect, I swing it slow and controlled and add small amounts of weights to it as I progress, so I will start swinging that club in January. My overall fitness program is going great. I have moved it up to daily. 

For as good a shape as I thought I was in, when I started playing Pickleball, my muscles gave me a hard time. First I pulled a hamstring, that put me back a month, then my back muscles tightened up and I had to take a week off. But now it all systems go. The  Pickleball, Volleyball and Yoga all seem to be working in synchronicity with each other now. In time I will add some swimming back in and then of course golf when the weather permits.

Legs/Shoulders Pairs today -- 4 sets (15/13/12/10) of each exercise:

       Leg Curls + Military Presses (no rest between pair)

       Leg Reverse Curls + Landmine Presses (no rest between pair)

       Romanian Deadlifts + Front Delt Raises (no rest between pair)

       Squats + Side Delt Raises (no rest between pair)

I add weight on 12 rep and 10 rep series -- rest between finished pair and changing PowerTec Lever machine settings.  The entire workout from start to finish is 30-35 minutes.  Occasionally, I will jump rope for 10 minute intervals to really push the heart/lungs (total of 40 minutes)

Then I will hang on the inversion table for about 3-5 minutes (to stretch out...)

The nap is the best part re-energizing

This morning at 7:00 am, did 45 minutes on the elliptical machine. Then, did my golf strength training: Dumbbell Power Clean and press , weighted crunches, Kettlebell swings superset with resistance band golf swings. Cool down with 20 mins of indoor spinning.

This afternoon, met my bike club members at the Marina to do 60 minutes of criterium intervals. What a butt kicker. Cool down with 15 minutes of easy spinning. 

This evening, going to the range to practice my irons. Might hit 9 holes on the executive course. It is a lighted course. 

Only in southern California.

You are doing an outstanding job staying active. Keep it up. You will be ready for golf in the Spring.

I had relatives who used to live in Brookfield, Wis. Beautiful place. Used to go up there during summer in the 90s. They have since relocated to northern California in the Bay Area

I am working hard on my golf game to play on the Stanford University golf course in Feb. Will play with my son who attends the University. Beautiful course.

Hit the fitness center at 7:00 am. 45 minutes on the elliptical machine. Circuit weight training machines 2x12. Bench press machine 160x6x2. Shoulder Press machine 105x6x2. 20 minutes of indoor spinning as a cool down. 1.5 hour fitness workout.

I will play 18 holes of golf on Par 3 golf course this afternoon. I will go to the fitness center after golf and do an easy 30 minutes on the elliptical machine to cool down.

I have to take advantage of the nice southern California weather.

Did not play 18 holes. Ended up playing 9 holes. Cool down with 30 minutes of indoor spinning. 

Going back to the fitness center this evening to do 30 minutes on the elliptical machine. 

Fitness goal this week.......Do two cardiovascular workouts for five days in a row. One more day to go!

 

I am fortunate the fitness center, LA Fitness, is 350 yards from my house.

I lived in the Bay Area many years ago.I lived in San Mateo  and then Redwood City, but I did not play golf at that time and that is a shame. I worked for United Airlines at the SF airport. 

 I think we both know if you don't use it you lose it and I have met too many people who have lost it. I saw a video the other day of Jack Nicholas driving golf balls at 77 and it still has it

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      A bit of an update Set up - Less knee bed, more hip flex, weight feels more on the balls of my feet, and heels feel off the ground or lightly touching the ground. I have to check this from time to time. I like to squat too much and get my weight back. If I look at where my right pocket meets my shirt, that is over my ankles. It feels like I am on my toes.  Backswing - Feel like my left kneecap stays facing towards the ball, doesn't move. This controls my knees in the backswing. Which controls my hips. Lots of resistance feeling in the left leg, lots of stability here. The hands feel like they go in a bit, keeping them closer to my right hip, then hinge straight up. In reality the hands go straight towards the camera than in. I am trying to keep the hands from going out and rolling the club inside from A2 to A4. Mostly hinge from wrist and still feel like I keep my right elbow straighter. So, its hinge wrist, then left upper arm off chest. Elbow feels like it doesn't do much. The hinge and the club finish nearly the same time as my right arm retracts. So, it's not continuing on a ton here. I don't think I could overexaggerate enough how fast and the quantity of hinge I can do here.  Downswing - This is the drill I set up. I wanted to create a spatial target for my swing path. So, I added a 2nd foam ball. This one off my right foot, about 1-ft away from the shoe. I chose this position because if I stop the swing at the top then bring my right hands down to my pocket and turn from there, that ball would be in its path. I am trying to swing the club down and behind me to make that 2nd ball in the swing path to the actual ball. It won't, but it is a good visual. It really has helped me. I did it slow a few times, then I did one swing at like 70% and it looked pretty good.  Checkpoints A1 to A2 - Club travels inward a bit and hands travel inward and straight back. Club is outside the hands at A2.  A2 to A4 - Club hinges here and still stay on plane pretty well. At A3, the club is pointing inside the ball. Previously it was like 10+ FT outside the ball. Right elbow and right hands are in front of the chest more. A small nitpick here is, maybe the hip turn is a tad over what I want. Very very small nitpick here. Probably could have hinged a bit sooner and gotten the club up a bit quicker to finish the backswing. This was a slower swing, so timing is a bit off.  A4 to A6 - the club keeps tracking down such that the club pass just under my hands. The path misses the 2nd ball by a lot. I am trying to get the club down to hit it.  When the knees are square to the target line in the downswing. My hands are down at waist height and the clubhead is at shoulder height. while in recent swings with no shallowing, my hands are like up near my chest, the club head is like above my head. People talk about being stuck behind them, I was stuck in steepness.  At impact, I could be more open with the hips if I used my left leg better, more work to do on that.  My right elbow and hands are on my trail side. I don't have to stop turning to get my hands and clubs through to hit the ball.  Overall, pretty good. I just need to rep this and continue to work on getting that left leg straighter.  Warning Label - The LED lights have a strobe effect due to the slow-motion camera.

      I got two trips lined up this year.  First, Pinehurst next month. Qual Ridge, Mid Pins, Southern Pines 😁, Mid South, Talamore. I am looking forward to playing Southern Pines since it got redone.  Second, a trip to eastern Wisconsin in early August. Whistling Straights, Blackwolf Run, Erin Hills.
