Good morning, my fellow lean, mean, injury-prevention machine.
Tonight, Monday Night Football has Aaron Rodgers making his comeback from his ruptured Achilles.
It’s weird because he did it last year on the first MNF game of the season. Hopefully, he’s not too superstitious.
I’ve seen many a ruptured Achilles going back to my physical therapy clinic days, and you wouldn’t wish it on anyone.
Yet, it confirms what we’ve been talking about for years…the majority of severe injuries are not to the muscles.
In fact, most injuries happen to joints.
This is why we continually stress that golfers who lack strength and mobility are in a “when, not if” situation when it comes to injuries.
The simplest way to keep your joints safe?
Move them!
Of course, you want to not only grease up your joints by moving them every day (like our Daily Motion routine in the 18STRONG Membership), but strengthening the muscles around them gives them an added Kevlar vest.
If you want to do everything you can to avoid the worst happening to your joints, then I would check out the 18STRONG Membership.
Each program has a strength and mobility component built in – THAT’s how important it is for golfers.
STAY STRONG,
Jeff
PS – I’m heading out for the day to play in an annual charity tournament, so if you need me, I’ll be sinking the $1,000,000 hole-in-one shot.
$500k goes to charity. $500k goes to this guy.
Wish me luck!
