Interestingly, the G2 Golf Stretch Fitness Program by G2 Lifestyles is really a product and a program. The product is an eco-friendly (100% recyclable) stretching mat and the program is a group of stretches meant to maximize range of motion and flexibility for the purpose of increasing stability and swing speed which, obviously, is intended to help play better golf. We’ve all heard many times how much benefit golfers can receive from a good fitness program, especially one which focuses on flexibility and range of motion. The G2 program aims to fill that role. According to G2, the golf trainer mat features the following technology: Eco-friendly (100% Recyclable) material Physician-certified stretches Thick-cushion design Bacteria resistant Washable, non-slip surface Long-lasting and durable Revolutionary, patented material Instructional videos available online after purchase Most notably, the stretching program is printed on the mat itself, making it somewhat unique. To augment that, instructional videos demonstrating each of the stretching exercises are available on the G2 Lifestyles website after purchasing the trainer mat. The mat folds up and includes a
My Max Golf Workout Experience
Recently, I’ve been telling you all about the Max Golf Workout. If you checked out my interview with author John Little, then you heard a lot about my experience already. To briefly summarize the Max Contraction system (on which the Max Golf Workout is based), it is characterized by these two main points: Loading a muscle with maximal weight for a brief period in a fully-contracted position until 100% of its energy is drained. Longer recovery times spanning from 7-14 days between workouts, or even longer in some cases. Right after I began the 100-push up challenge, I mentioned that I was putting it aside temporarily so that I could experiment with a new workout. Well, the Max Golf Workout was it. I haven’t abandoned the 100 pushup challenge, I’ve just been attacking it from another angle. When I started, my initial push up test was 6 (well, really 5 because the 6th was pretty poor form). Tonight, just before I wrote this, I cranked out a solid 15 push ups, triple my initial test,
Interview with John Little, Author of The Max Golf Workout
Recently, I told you about a book I read, called The Max Golf Workout. I was privileged to have an extended chat (see below to jump right in) with author John Little about The Max Golf Workout as well as the Max Contraction system, on which the Max Golf Workout is based. The two main ingredients to Max Contraction strength training are: Loading a muscle with maximal weight for a brief period in a fully-contracted position until 100% of its energy is drained. Longer recovery times spanning from 7-14 days between workouts, or even longer in some cases. This is quite a revolutionary system and John Little was kind enough to go into great detail. We covered a variety of topics in the 76 minute conversation. Some of the highlights include: What Max Contraction is and why it is beneficial to you Why longer recovery times are better for optimal strength gains Why stretching and aerobic workouts aren’t all they’re cracked up to be How strength training aids in weight loss Why three simple strength
The One Hundred Pushups Challenge
Being competitive by nature, I can’t pass up a good challenge. The Happy Rock knows how to motivate me by pressing my competitive buttons. He laid down the gauntlet and I’m now finding myself embarking on the One Hundred Push ups training program. Push ups are a great exercise for building strength in the core, shoulders, chest, and arms. The basic premise of the program is that you can work up to 100 pushups (in a row, wiseguy) by doing three 10-minute sessions per week for six weeks. The program is simple: simply take the initial test which helps you determine your starting level. With that information, you can start with the week 1 program and progress through each week until you get to the end. You then follow up with the final test to see if you can drop and knock out 100 push ups. As you progress through each week’s program, if you’re not making the grade and aren’t ready to advance, then simply repeat that week’s program until you’re ready for the
A Treadmill Program To Help Prepare for Spring
I’m a huge fan of tying fitness and golf together to improve both my play and my life in general. Flexibility is paramount and strength is important. However, not to be ignored is cardiovascular health. Not only will it increase your endurance on the golf course, but it will also help you lead a healthier and happier life. I’m thrilled to pass on a cool offer to Life in the Rough readers. Anthony over at Better Golf With Fitness has offered up a free copy of his six-week hill interval treadmill program to help get in better shape for golf. The program is inspired by Marc Calcavecchia’s own hiking program that he uses to get conditioned for competition. Normally, the offer is only available to Anthony’s subscribers, but he’s graciously extended that offer to Life in the Rough readers. All you need to do is shoot him an e-mail at Anthony@golffitnessproducts.net with the subject line “Treadmill for Golfers” and he’ll send you a copy of the program.
