Vitamin D – our bulletproof vest against sickness

You know how when you recently learned something, you start to see it everywhere?  It’s called the Baader-Meinhof phenomenon or Frequency Illusion (yes, I absolutely had to Google it).   And it started happening to me last year with Vitamin D.  I started to go down the rabbit hole and never...

Top 5 benefits of hydrated golf

Yesterday, I went off on a little diatribe about the importance of staying hydrated when you’re feeling under the weather during these winter months.  Which again, I cannot recommend more – sleep it off, and stay hydrated.  That’s always been my recipe.  As I often do, I went down a...

A new reason to stay hydrated during cold season

The past week, I’ve been a little under the weather as we often do this time of year.  So, you haven’t heard from me as much as usual.  I feel great today, but had a sinus infection that was sapping a ton of energy, and usually dehydrates me to the...

[How To] Easiest way to injure yourself

Completely off-topic, last night I watched the making of Caddyshack again (Caddyshack: The Inside Story) and it never disappoints.  If you haven’t yet, give it a shot.   So if you’ve been following us for any time, we talked about how it’s not a great idea to work out like a...

Useless predictions

After following this election cycle (thank the good lord it’s finally over), I’ve become very aware of how many useless predictions exist in the world.  Yesterday morning, half the world thought Trump was going to win, the other half predicted he was going to lose.  Well, 50/50 isn’t exactly scientific.  ...

2 science-backed reasons weights get you lean

Good Wednesday morning, my fellow lean, mean, golf fitness machine.  Yesterday, I wrote about how lifting weights won’t make you bulky…unless you really, really, really work at it.   Instead, the result is that you’ll get leaner.  And apparently, some golfers just ain’t buying it.  So today, let me put on...

You’re NOT going to get bulky!!!

Today, let’s set the record straight on something I hear all of the time… I used to think it was a legitimate concern, but now I’m not so sure. It may just be an excuse to not lift weights… “Jeff, I don’t want to lift weights. I’m afraid I’ll get bulky.” And I really...

Consume Less [zero to do with nutrition

Let the Halloween parties begin!  Now, if you’re like me, you root through your kids’ candy bucket for the crown jewel…Heath bar.  I keep it simple.  Two ingredients is all I need.  You know what is not simple?  Us all drowning in content.  There are over 720,000 hours of new content uploaded...

 How to avoid the “Excessive Enthusiasm” trap

Every year, we do an 8-mile trail run in December that really is no fun, but it’s a great challenge (and we get to drink beers afterwards:).  This year, our buddy Nick is going to join us for the first time, and he has enthusiastically gotten on board.  He bought...

Rules can set us free? Really!?

If you have a teenager, a friend with a teen, or have seen Netflix trending shows, you’ve seen that the story of the Menendez Bros. is back with a new docu-drama series.  It’s pretty Hollywood-ed up, so I had to stop watching as I prefer the stories to be more...
