Beyond Boarders ... come ski with me
My earliest memory of skiing is an old picture my parents use to have. In it, I am about three and a half feet tall, bundled up tight, wearing the world’s largest sweater, woolen socks pulled up past my knees, and wrapped in a never-ending scarf. My...
Hop, Skip And A Jump To Strength
Plyometrics - they are as old as the hills. High-energy bursts
of activity such as jump roping (supposedly dating back to
Egypt's Mesopotamians) jumping jacks and of course the jump
shot! I remember these exercises as a staple in my...

There Is No Such Thing As The Gambling Olympics!
I often become bewildered when I hear of people bragging, because they have high strike rates and/or high profit-on-turnover figures (POT). You know the 'my strike rate on the Soccer is 73%' or 'my POT on the gallops is 90%'.

How Golf Strength Training Will Demolish Your Competitors
It’s no secret that golf strength training can put you heads and tails above your playing partners and competitors. Why do you think all the Pro’s are doing it?
Golf is no longer just the leisure game it used to be. It is now recognized as an athletic sport. As with all other athletic sports, your body’s strength plays a crucial part in how well you play the game.
FACT: A stronger body plays better golf. Most strength-building workouts can be beneficial to some degree, but there are golf strength exercises that enable you to hit longer — and straighter –drives with less effort and hit more accurate shots, which will consequently lower your scores.
GOLF TIP: Strengthen Your Back and Prevent Low Back Pain — so that you can play 18 holes without fatigue
Did you know that doing even just one exercise will greatly improve the strength of your back so that you will be able to play 18 holes, or hit balls all day without any pain?
I call this powerful little golf exercise the “Lying Superman.” You won’t believe the amazing difference
this exercise can make in your strength until you actually do it — so go for it!
All you have to do is…
* Lie on your stomach on the floor with your hands at your sides.
* Raise both your upper body (chest), arms and legs as high as you can.
* Hold it for a count of 10.
And that’s it! Just do this simple golf exercise for 2 sets every day and you can say goodbye to low back pain!
Playing golf at an optimum level requires muscular strength, power, and endurance. Contrary to what most people think, long practice sessions and hitting hundreds of balls will not improve these components. In fact, they will only result in physical injuries (from overuse) and a great deal of frustration.
