One study found that the average American tends to gain five or more pounds between Thanksgiving and New Years Eve.

At the beginning of the year, many people are in a frenzy trying to ward off those unwanted pounds. You don’t necessarily have to diet and exercise like a maniac,  you just need to modify your behavior.

And don’t use exercise as a punishment for overeating either.  Exercise should be used to improve your life, not something to do “to work off all those big holiday meals you ate.” Think of exercise to add quality to your life, not as something you do to just cancel bad lifestyle choices.

During the beginning of the year, you may be able to sustain your diet and exercise routine for a while, but then as times goes by, it’s especially challenging to be healthy given our busy schedules. Acknowledge that you may give in to temptation and not be able to sustain a strict regime of diet and exercise. But when that happens, instead of throwing all healthy behaviors out the window all together, take steps to engage in the healthiest behaviors that you possibly can so that you don’t give up all together.

Ok, so that is my lecture for today, now what can be done to ward off those holiday pounds? Join me as I help you not only improve your golf swing, but also get exercise at the same time.

Where to begin-

Many of you may be eager to start a golf-fitness program, but are unsure of how or where to start. The key to developing a golf-fitness program to fit your particular needs is to find out what golf-related restrictions, if any, your body has. Performing a golf-fitness screen can help you give you a starting point and determine what exercises you should be performing.

Cardiogolf Creator and LPGA Teaching Professional Karen Palacios-Jansen will design an individualized golf-specific workout program for you combining Pilates reformer exercises with her unique Cardiogolf fitness program to help you improve your core strength, posture, balance, flexibility and swing technique to build more a powerful and repeatable golf swing

Basic-Golf Fitness Screen Guidelines:

• Do not do a warm-up before you try any of the golf-fitness tests.
• The movements should never go to the point of pain or discomfort. Stop immediately if you are in pain.
• The trainer should watch you do the movements in different angles and planes of motion for the most effective evaluation.
• Consult your personal physician before doing a golf-fitness screen or any other exercise.

How to Do Exercise-

You have 1 minute to do as many repetitions as possible of each exercise. Keep track of how many repetitions you get for this exercise.

Write the results down and keep for your records.

Squat on Slope-

• Stand on the Slope.
• Squat down as you raise your arms shoulder height to assist with balance.
• Return to start position.

The amount of repetitions you are able to perform is your baseline. Retest your fitness level every 3 to 4 months. Your goal is to beat your scores for every exercise. Write the results down and keep for your records.
