What is the one thing that most of us do when we get into fitness, especially when focusing on losing weight? We jump on the scale. It might be daily, weekly or bi-weekly, but we all jump on this little contraption that acts like a fortune cookie as it pops up numbers … sometimes being in our favor and often times disappointing with a change in the wrong direction.
Part of my training business includes golf fitness. I am a certified TPI (Titleist Performance Institute) Level 1 Fitness Trainer.
As a TPI trainer, I help golfers assess their body movement as it relates to their swing. By performing a TPI swing assessment we can identify various areas that might not be allowing the golfer to move as freely as they would like and can cause swing flaws to occur, such as “over the top” or “early extension”, “swaying or sliding” and others.
How many of you think about, on a regular basis, the cost of your health. I don’t mean the cost of your healthcare premium or your deductible at the doctors office, but the actual cost of your lifestyle on your health?
As I was writing this, I thought about whether there really is much difference between a beginner and intermediate routine. For the most part, there is not. The biggest difference between the two will be your gym experience and the weight you can lift correctly.
Considering to work with a trainer can be a big step in your fitness journey.

Finding someone you can relate to and them you is important. For example, I train a lot of corporate clients. I relate to them as I worked corporately for 25 years, so I understand long days of meetings and the stressors that come with it.
Last week, I wrote about putting together a program—sets, reps, rest periods and weights to use. This week, I want to lay out a simple beginner workout that you can choose to do at home or at the gym.
Hi, everyone. Over the next two weeks I’m going to address workouts geared at two groups: beginners and Intermediates. I want to share my thoughts on how much you should workout (number of days) along with how much time (number of minutes). I hope this will help you to create a plan as we move forward or offer you some clarity if you have already started one.
