Why all
of the sudden interest in
"training" for golf? Two words -
Tiger and Duval. As you know,
Tiger Woods and David Duval are
the two hottest names in golf
today. And many have attributed
much of their recent success to a
complete transformation in how
they prepare their minds and
bodies for peak
performance.
For
example, both partake in a
rigorous program of
cardiovascular training,
resistance training (weight
lifting), in corporation with
strict nutrition and
supplementation programs. You can
learn more about new supplement
programs at
www.neuroswing.com.
Because
these topics can often be
confusing to the average golfer,
each month I'll be writing a
brief "training tip" that will
help you add power, distance, and
accuracy to your golf game. So
let's get to it!
Training
Tip #1: Cardiovascular training.
How is this type of training
going to help your golf game?
Well, have you ever "hit the
wall" soon after turning the
corner? Maybe you notice that you
lose energy, focus, and
concentration, fast? If so, a
little cardiovascular training
will go a long way in improving
your later round scores. (i.e.
fewer three putts and
double-bogies) Not to mention, it
can also help you lose weight,
decrease stress, and boost
overall health!
Here's
what to do: First thing in the
morning, just three times a week,
pull yourself out-of-bed 30
minutes early (c'mon!) and
partake in some type of
cardiovascular exercise that you
enjoy. This can be biking,
hiking, swimming, jogging,
walking, or you can even use some
fancy machine at a local health
club. It doesn't really matter.
Just make sure to push yourself
for a solid 20 minutes to start.
Then work your way up to 30
minutes after two
weeks.
Important:
Make sure to perform this
exercise on an empty stomach.
(Unless your doctor suggests
otherwise.) At this time, your
body will more efficiently dip
into stored body fat than it
would at later times during the
day after eating.
