| Good Tuesday morning to ya! We’ve got snow in our forecast tonight, so it may be a slow day in the gym tomorrow. Which is a great time for me to catch up on some projects – one of which is going to be a huge announcement. But more on that later. For now, let’s stick with our theme from yesterday…mobility. More specifically, we’re going to talk about stretching. When golfers come to me, I consistently see 3 of the same stretching mistakes. So today, I’m going to show you exactly what you’re doing wrong. And fix it! If you’re a visual learner, here’s a short video we shot that goes deeper than I can in an email: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwwb4xaaH30 |
| I highly encourage you to watch, as there is a lot that goes into this. In fact, I really put on my physical therapist hat during the video for golfers who want to know the WHY. Now, if you just want the Reader’s Digest version, here are the 3 mistakes: Not holding your stretch long enoughNot breathing and relaxing (tense muscles don’t stretch)Not being strong enoughSo, simply fixing those things is going to change how you feel. No more creaking. No more cracking. No more, “Geez, I feel so tight.” You’ve got this. Your #1 Fan, Jeff Pelizzaro PS – Even though “not being strong enough” is #3 on this list, it should always be at the top of any fitness-related list. I cannot stress enough how strength is the mother of all athletic qualities that unlocks so many other things…mobility, speed, power, injury-prevention, etc. That is why we focus so much on strength in the 18STRONG Membership training programs.
