So, we’re in the process of overhauling our 18STRONG App, but that’s not what this email is about…
We decided to do it, so the next question is, “We’re doing this. Now what?”
I tend to over-analyze things, so I had to consciously keep telling myself what not to do:
Spend the next few weeks collecting all of the overwhelming information the Google machine provides us…but take ZERO action.
You may recognize that as the classic “paralysis by analysis”.
And if you’ve ever been afflicted, I totally understand.
It’s frustrating!
No worries though, you came to the right place to take action immediately.
BIG PICTURE, when it comes to getting fit, there are three areas we want you to focus on:
Exercise
Nutrition
Mindset
Today, let’s focus on EXERCISE.
When people decide to get fit, they start exercising more.
Yeah, no kidding, right?
But, what exercise(s) should you start with?
This is going to sound crazy, but I want you to start with something simple, like taking a walk.
I know you are looking for something more challenging.
But here’s the magic:
When people regularly make time for a walk, they become people who will regularly make time for longer workouts too.
In other words, we’re not worried about the exercise itself.
We’re building the habit – which is the hardest part.
Do that every day for 2-3 weeks.
By the way, don’t discount the physical effectiveness of walking.
You can walk yourself back into shape.
Next, after you’ve started walking consistently, move to a foundational golf strength training program (we have Golf Body Blueprint – Activate in the 18STRONG Membership) to start building a solid foundation of strength, mobility, injury-prevention, etc.
Again, start slow and build.
If you come outta the gate too hot, you’re going to do one of two things:
- Get burnt out and quit
- Get hurt and quit
There’s no third outcome.
Adding “golf” to your strength program dramatically increases your chances of building the habit for the long-term b/c you’re obviously getting stronger…
But, you’re ALSO seeing results on the course…CHA CHING!
And us lunatic golfers have a tendency to get addicted to things that make us better.
You’ve got this.
STAY STRONG,
Jeff
