Pursuit of Fitness or Pursuit of Happiness

Here we go again, a few days away from the new year and here come all the health & fitness resolutions…again. “I want to lose weight”, I want to start exercising”, “ I want to join a gym”. Why and how do we keep setting ourselves up to fail? The why is simple, we think magically at 11:59 pm on December 31st our lives are going to change. All of a sudden our procrastination will go away, our eating habits will change and we will adapt a healthier lifestyle just because it’s a new year.

The how is what’s interesting. We set ourselves up to fail by setting goals we really don’t need or want. So what happens when you are trying to accomplish something you really don’t need or want; You are not going to work hard toward getting it. Now what is it that we are really looking for when we set these resolutions? Are we really in the pursuit of fitness or are we in the pursuit of happiness through fitness? “I believe the latter to be true” says Rafael Moret, President of The Miami Golf Fitness Program.

How does this apply to Health & Fitness related New Year resolutions? Well is the house wife/stay-at-home mom really looking to lose 20 lbs. or does she just want to look sexier and feel better about herself? Will a 20 lbs loss do that for her, maybe…maybe not, but a little muscle tone and better posture will do wonders for her right away. Does the 40-50 year old corporate executive really need washboard abs or does he want to feel like physically, he can still compete with the younger guys and doesn’t need a new set of suits every year because he gained 10 lbs.

When you are setting goals for yourself think about what you really want. What kind of problem are you trying to solve? What kind of solution will bring you joy and happiness? If you are looking to make changes in your life, then you don’t need to wait till December 31st . Do them today, make changes right now! Give yourself a head start and if you are a procrastinator, “put off putting it off”. Forget that the New Year is coming, decide what you want to change and Change Now!

Golf Fitness Self-Assessment - The BEST Golf Fitness Products From the World's Leading Golf Fitness Experts

Golf Fitness Self-Assessment - The BEST Golf Fitness Products From the World's Leading Golf Fitness Experts: "Golf Fitness Self-Assessment
Bill Hartman, 'Your Golf Fitness Coach'
Before I design any golfer’s fitness program, I perform a complete orthopedic and functional assessment and a swing analysis to determine the golfer’s needs in comparison to the demands of the sport of golf itself.
This establishes the golfer’s fitness priorities; the aspects of their training program that will have the greatest impact on their performance. In other words, it helps establish a plan of action.
To attempt to improve performance without some direction or a plan is a crap-shoot. Maybe you’ll get lucky and actually do something to help your game. Maybe you won’t.

Herniated Disc - Causes, Treatments, Exercises, Stretches and How To Get Relief

Herniated Disc - Causes, Treatments, Exercises, Stretches and How To Get Relief: "Diagnosed With a Herniated Disc?
By: Dr. Robert Duvall, DPT, ATC, MGFI

You've probably heard people say they have a 'slipped' or 'ruptured' disc in the back. Sometimes they complain that their back “went out”. What they're most likely describing is a herniated disc. This condition is a common source of back and leg pain.
Discs are soft cushions found between the vertebrae that make up the spinal column (your backbone). In the middle of the spinal column is the spinal canal, a hollow space that contains the spinal cord. The nerves that supply the arms, leg, and torso come from the spinal cord. The nerves from the neck supply the arms and hands, and the nerves from the low back supply the butt and legs. The discs between the vertebrae allow the back to move freely and act like shock absorbers."

Why You’ll Probably Fail When You Try A Golf Fitness Instructor

“Why You’ll Probably Fail When You Try A Golf Fitness Instructor”

Most people that come to us, and "try", fail miserably!This will probably happen to you also. It’s not because we don’t have excellent programs. We do. It’s not because we don’t have excellent knowledge. We do. It’s not because we don’t give personalized attention and constant motivation. We do that. It’s not because we don’t have a variety of exercises. We do. So, why will you fail if you "try" a golf fitness instructor?

To answer that question you must carefully read that question over.

The sole reason you would fail if try a golf fitness instructor is because “trying” NEVER WORKS!! Do you say “I’ll try” to be a good parent, only if I have good kids? Do you say “I’ll try” to be a good employee, but only if I have a good boss?
I don’t think so!You make the commitment; you never try at anything you’re successful at!
This goes for an exercise routine and working with a trainer too.If you “try” an exercise routine or a trainer, it will most certainly be an unsuccessful endeavor.If you commit to a trainer or an exercise routine, it will most certainly be a successful endeavor.

Why not throw away the word “try” and make the commitment to exercising with a trainer now!Let me help you channel your determination and watch\ the awesome results you receive!

Remember: Trying is just a noisy way of not doing something!
