Scratch City Golf’s Post

Morning Workout Thoughts, 6 mile run today: 1. Having 4 days off and sleeping in every day, makes Monday terrible 2. A great time was spent with family over the 4 days, and a much needed recharge and reset 3. This weekend was filled with BBQ, family, Pilates, Drive-In movie, a run, and of course we finished it with 18 holes of golf on Sunday.. 4. If you have not done Pilates, I suggest you try it, it has improved my flexibility and most importantly my recovery time from runs, weightlifting and the golf course. 5. Why does it take 45 years of this life to make you realize how important self-care is, and all the things that you can do to help recharge your battery. What do you do to help recharge your battery?

What Are You Ordering Off the Menu? I wrote about the need for consistency in scheduling your exercise. And following through with that. But that didn't address a question many people have. Which is... "What sort of exercise should I do?" Jogging or walking? How about swimming? Yoga or Pilates? Pickleball or basketball? Lifting weights or swinging kettlebells? There's no right or wrong answer. Except how it relates to you. If your knees, hips, or ankles are shot, jogging probably isn't the right choice. If you suffer from vertigo, doing a downward dog yoga pose might be a bad idea. If you're going to absolutely hate swimming, or have a related phobia, don't get in the pool. Instead, pick something you can do and will enjoy doing. And will continue doing. Or add something pleasurable (listening to music or a podcast) to an activity (walking) you can tolerate. Invite one or more friends to join you. But you have to start. And then rinse and repeat. Until days add up to weeks. And those segue into months. And then years of being consistent with your new habit. All of that said, there are two types of exercise that are non-negotiable. I'll address those tomorrow. You assignment for today is to pick some sort of exercise you'll enjoy doing. Or, at worse, can tolerate -- knowing it's good for you. And get out there and just do it. #JustDoIt #PickYourExercise #LoseWeight #GetInShape #Boomer #BoomPowerFitness #PuttingTheBoomBackIntoBoomer

🎉 Happy Golf Day! 🏌️♂️⛳ Today, we celebrate not just the love for golf but also the dedication to staying fit for the game. Golf is a sport that combines skill, precision, and physical fitness, and we're here to show you how "Improving your golf by working on these five areas of fitness" can transform your game! Staying in top shape is crucial for every golfer. It boosts your overall strength, flexibility, and balance, which are key components for a powerful, accurate, and consistent swing. Plus, it minimises injury risks, enhancing your performance on the course. Here are five essential fitness tips that can elevate your golf game: 🎯 Core Strength: The heart of your swing lies in your core. Exercises like planks, Russian twists, and medicine ball throws will fortify your core, offering better control and power in your swing. 🧘 Flexibility: A fluid game requires a good range of motion, especially in the hips, shoulders, and spine. Engage in flexibility exercises, such as yoga or Pilates, to improve your range and make your swing smoother. ⚖️ Balance: A consistent and powerful swing starts with good balance. Enhance yours with exercises like standing on one leg, balance boards, or single-leg squats. This will also improve your body awareness during the swing. 🏃♂️ Endurance: Golf demands physical stamina, from walking the course to maintaining concentration. Incorporate aerobic exercises like walking, jogging, or cycling to boost your endurance, keeping you sharp and energetic throughout the game. 💪 Targeted Strength: Strengthen the muscles vital for golf - forearms for grip, legs for stability, and back for swing power. Resistance training, whether with weights or bands, can focus on these crucial areas. Before embarking on a new fitness journey, we recommend consulting with a physiotherapy professional to ensure these exercises are right for you. And remember, if pain is hindering your game, we're here to help you return to form and enjoy golf to the fullest. Let's celebrate Golf Day by committing to our fitness and game improvement. Here's to more birdies and eagles in your future! 🎊🏌️♂️ #GolfDay #GolfFitness #PhysioTips #Physiotherapy

Gym Rebel...😄 Came across this funny video of a gym prankster who decided to play a little trick on her coach by intentionally skipping a few steps during an exercise routine. While it was a playful moment, it serves as a reminder to approach workouts with the right mindset and respect for proper form. Let's keep the laughter going while also staying focused on safe and effective workouts tomorrow! 💪 PS: Why do you think some people do this? Day 3 ✌ #GymPranks #FitnessFun #FitnessCopywriter

😊Meet Gabrielle..... Who not only benefits from her health from Nordic walking but turns up come rain or shine😉⬇️⬇️ "My job is quite physical and since I’m not going to get any younger I decided to get fitter. I started with weekly Pilates sessions which helped, but I was lacking motivation to go swimming or walking as well. When the weather is foul, it’s a lot easier to stay indoors. I knew nothing about Nordic walking. I enjoy being outdoors and I quite liked the sound of it, so I thought why not give it a go? You won’t know if it’s for you until you’ve tried it. I went along to the 1st session not really knowing what to expect and I was hooked straight away. I look forward to my weekly workout, even when it’s cold, wet or even pitch black. Head torches are great and going for a walk in the dark at the end of a hard day at work is ideal to clear your head. Yes, it is exercise, but it’s mainly a lot of fun and quite convivial. I’ve been doing Nordic walking for about 9 months now and I’ve noticed that I can walk a lot faster, I’m more aware of my posture while walking and my whole body feels more toned".

EGO LIFTING❌ We have all done it… try to lift a weight you know you probably shouldn’t with questionable form🫢 Just like me in this first video. 4 years ago, no deadlift training, probably my 3/4th session of it and thinking yeah I’ll try and go for a heavy weight… As you can see by it my form is awful and the bar didn’t even move❌ Fast forward 4 years, with proper training and decent form, I’m able to lift much heavier weights without hurting myself✅ Ego lifting increases the risk of injuries such as strains and joint damage, stalling progress and leading to setbacks. Remember, it’s not about impressing others with the amount of weight lifted, but about prioritizing your long-term health and fitness goals🚀 If you need help making sure you are training right, hit the link in my bio and let’s chat💪 — #ego #egolifting #egoliftingclub #deadlifting #powerlifting #powerliftinglife #bodybuilding #buildingmuscle #properform #formoverweight #nutritioncoaching #nutritioncoaches #nutritioncoachonline #nutritioncoachingonline #nutritionplanner #nutritionplanning #dietplans #dietplanner #dietplanning #dietcoach #dietcoaching #dietcoachingonline #onlinedietcoach #onlinedietcoaching #onlinenutritioncoach #onlinenutritioncoaching #onlinenutritionplan #personaltrainingonline #personaltraininglife
