What Should Be Your Golf Training Priority?
August 21, 2007
This is a question that is often asked for the simple reason that knowing one’s golf training priority will enable them to improve their game within the shortest possible time.
To answer it correctly a golfer needs to know what their particular area of weakness is. For example if they tend to slice the ball in their golf swing then their golf training priority should be exercises that address that particular weakness in their game.
Other times a golfer will have a nagging back problem which refuses to go away despite medication. Many times the back pain will be in the lower back and will usually be aggravated by playing golf.
The golf training priority of such a golfer is to get golf specific exercises that will give them endurance and strength. The exercise must also be targeted directly at the lower back.
There is in fact such an exercise which I have described in several of my other articles.
The result of this exercise is that the pain will disappear and the golfer will be able to hit the ball on the course and enjoy playing golf virtually the whole day without the discomfort and pain that previously occurred or was aggravated whenever they previously played a round of golf.
Mind and Thoughts
August 21, 2007
Yoga is controlling of thoughts arising in the mind. When thoughts are controlled or prevented through practice, the seer or practitioner(yogi) rests in his true self or soul(atman). Either you remain in true self or control thoughts, the other will result automatically. In true self one shall not see or hear anything. Bcause there is none other than the self. When there is anything other than the self, one shall see or hear something. When everything has merged in the pure consciousness of the true self, when there is none other than the self, what is to see or hear?
Everybody has this experience in deep sleep. In the waking and dreaming states everybody sees or hear something. But when one enters into deep sleep nothing is seen or heard of. This is because the mind and senses are immersed in the pure consciousness of an individual. With the mind and senses all objects, all worlds, all desires are immersed in pure consciousness. For this one feels the bliss after a sound sleep. This bliss is very less in comparision to the bliss one may feel by resting in true self consciously or knowingly.

Why Golf Fitness Should Be A Priority
August 20, 2007
Golf fitness should be a priority for any golfer in the same way a visit to the dentist is for somebody with an aching tooth. In the case of a visit to the dentist, you cannot keep on taking painkillers and postponing your visit forever.
Even if you dread root canal dental procedure and are sure that that is what the dentists verdict will be, sooner or later you will have to make that dreaded trip to that dreaded office. In short, you will not be able to continue with a normal life until you make that trip that brings you terror.
Golf fitness is a priority in a similar way. Many golfers dread the mere thought of golf exercises. The situation is made even scarier when you mention dumb bells. An image of their sweaty selves in a gym somewhere comes to mind and it is not a pretty picture for them.
The truth is that golf fitness is such a priority that you will not be able to continue playing the modern golf game with enjoyment without taking up a golf exercise program.

Flattening Your Stomach in Four Easy Steps
August 19, 2007
You look at it every day and wish it would just go away; that little pouch below your belly button that keeps staring back at you. You do crunches, sit ups, the works, and yet there it is just "hanging around." There are all sorts of cute names for it: snack pouch, spare tire, love handles, and the list goes on. All you know is that you want it gone.
The American Council on Exercise calls the bicycle one of the most effective ab exercises out there. This exercise is one of many that should be completed as part of a lifestyle change which includes both diet and exercise. Just doing ab exercises all day will not get rid of the excess fat that you have around your waistline.
The following four areas of diet and exercise will help you gain the toned, flat stomach that you are craving.
1. Fat Intake
How much fat is in your diet? The American Food Pyramid says that a healthy diet is one that "Emphasizes fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and fat-free or low-fat milk and milk products, includes lean meats, poultry, fish, beans, eggs, and nuts, and is low in saturated fats, trans fats, cholesterol, salt (sodium), and added sugars.
Golf Stretching Exercises Have A Direct Impact On Your Drives
August 18, 2007
Golf stretching exercises have been known to have such a huge impact on the golf swing that their popularity amongst golfers has spread like wild fire in recent years.
Yet in some cases the golf stretching routines have not been gotten from a real golf-specific exercise expert. While it is true that any stretching exercise and strength exercise will usually result in dramatic changes in a persons’ golf game, getting the real thing from golf experts will usually have an even more excellent result.
What’s more getting a wide range of golf stretching routines from a real expert will mean that you will also have access to several exercises that can be done in the comfort of your office when you have a moment to spare.
Or even in the home. This is a huge advantage for many golfers from the corporate world who are usually pressed for time and finding enough time to exercise quite often becomes a major challenge that borders on the impossibility.
Being able to do a number of golf stretching routines at their work stations in the office when they have a moment to spare becomes an extremely useful advantage for such persons.
Why Every Cop Should Study Judo Part 1
August 18, 2007
Up until 30 years ago, JUDO was the martial art. Then with the introduction of the more mysterious martial arts with more of a "killing" edge to them this coupled with the focus of the USJF/USJI (the leading Judo organizations in the US and the world) focus on Olympic competition and the simple fact that training in judo is painful and to this day, very difficult to get a black belt rank in it, especially if you are in a competitive area. I could probably write another 5 pages on this, but I will stay on point.
During these years EVERY major metropolitan Police Department had a Judo club. Even countries like Thailand taught Judo to there police force, NOT Muay Thai. I personally train a number of law enforcement officers and I have seen the results first hand. So why is Judo the martial art for law enforcement?
The primary purpose of non-lethal force with law enforcement is to get your target to comply. What is the most realistic way of getting someone to do something you don’t want to with out seriously damaging them? How can you get someone from their feet to the ground as quickly as possible? How do you know what its going to be like for real? The answer is JUDO.
The Basics Of Dumbells And Dumbbell Workouts
August 17, 2007
Dumbbells are integral to a long term fitness and personal strengthening plan. Dumbbells are individual weights that are best used as part of your overall fitness workout each day.
A standard but effective dumbbell exercise is generally conducted as follows. Place one dumbbell in each hand and use you arms to lift the dumbbells up to shoulder height. Now, lower your arms down so you arms are by your side. Repeat as many times as necessary.
You can also perform exercises for strengthening both arms, by working with one dumbbell and one arm at a time.
Dumbbells and dumbbell weights can be purchased as sets of pairs or as a complete dumbbell set that offers many different weight increments depending on your current fitness level and what you fitness goals are in the future.
Adjustable dumbbells can be purchased for use in the home - if you want to do some quick dumbell arm workouts each day - or borrowed at fitness clubs - if you are want to use the dumbbells as part of a great fitness program that involves treadmills, bikes, bench presses and skipping ropes.
What Will A Good Golf Stretching Program Do For Your Golf?
August 17, 2007
There are many things that a good golf stretching program will do for a persons’ game.
Firstly a golf stretching program will tremendously improve the golf swing in terms of the power as well as helping the golfer to control the direction. These are two key aspects that will help to spectacularly reduce the score of any golfer.
A golf stretching program will also help a golfer significantly reduce on the risk of injury which can keep them away from the course for a long time. In a few unfortunate cases, injury has even rudely and permanently halted the game for some golfers. Yes, injury has often ended some golf careers that were showing great promise.
Usually golf stretching programs improve on the strength of the muscles as well as the endurance levels. The result is that a golfer is able to enjoy their round of golf much more than was the case prior to their entering the golf stretching exercise program.
This is the reason why golf stretching programs have considerably risen in popularity amongst various levels of golfers. Usually golf stretching programs are part and parcel of a golf exercise routine that will also include weight training.
