If you’re really looking for more consistancy in your golf swing then stretching exercises that are “golf specific” will help your shoulders a lot! These types of fitness stretch exercises are designed to specifically help your back and rotator cuff area.
By stretching these muscle groups on a regular basis you can make big strides in improving your swing. Some of the most common injuries to golfer’s occur because of a lack of flexibility in their back. This usually affects the area of the rotator cuff. Injury prevention is another reason why it’s so important for you to start some type of golf specific exercise routine right away, if you don’t already have one.
Have you ever stood in front of a full length mirror and watched yourself going through your swing motion? It may sound a bit silly, but by going through the motion slowly you can actually feel the muscles that you use while performing this movement. When you get to the top of your rotation try going just a bit further and holding it for ten seconds. Don’t hurt yourself or bounce, but hold it just enough to feel a slight discomfort.
Once you’ve done this on one side, switch sides and do it again. Do both sides twice the same way. You should notice that it’s a little bit easier the second time. You should also be able to go a little bit further now that you’ve warmed up your muscles a bit.
Next, try stretching directly overhead. Get all the way up on the tips of your toes and reach for the sky, holding it for a few seconds. When you come down go ahead and spread your feet more than shoulder width apart and simply bend over and “hang there” loosely.
Do NOT bounce as you could possibly tear a muscle. All that you want to do is hang there and breath deeply while counting to ten by one thousands. One thousand one, one thousand two, ect. Do this a second time. Reach for the sky as far as you can, hold it for a few seconds and relax.
Spread your feet again and bend over forward and hang there while counting. You can go farther the second time, can’t you? Now try it with your feet together. This is a bit more rough if you’re just starting out, but remember not to bounce, but to just hang there, count to ten and repeat. If you continue this regularly there will come a point in the near future where you’ll be able to easily touch your toes without bending your knees. Can you imagine the flexibilty that you’ll have when you’ve achieved this?
Once you’ve done this you’ll feel like a million bucks. I’ve had some days where my spine will just pop right back into place. It’s simply a wonderful feeling and will help your golf swing a lot. If you do this on a regular basis, you’ll soon see a marked improvement in your game.
There are many different exercises that are specifically for golf fitness that you might find helpful. I recommend that you either invest in a good book on golf fitness, get with a fitness coach that specializes in golf fitness or, if you have the time and the money, do both.

Major Breakthrough in Exercise and Diabetes Are you Qualified and Following these training Guidlines? Epidemiology/ Etiology Normally the human body works like a smoothly operating food processor. It transforms foods into energy- energy necessary for activities of normal daily living and including exercise. The hormone insulin is a vitallog in the process, allowing sugars in the bloodstream to enter the muscles cells, where energy production occurs. In the diabetic this system does not operate properly , and the body is unable to convert sugars and startches from the diet into energy . Without adequate insulin in the blood , glucose accumulates in the bloodstream. This disorder often results in serious complications to nearly every organ in the body . There are two forms of diabetes: 1. Insulin dependent or Type I (IDDM), which affects children and young adults and is the more intensive version. It is characterized by reduction in the inability of the pancreas to produce insulin, and the person must have doses of insulin daily. 2. Non- insulin dependent or Type II (NIDDM) diabetes have fewer insulin receptor cells and an intracellular defect. It strikes mostly overweight and over 40-year -old adults. Type II diabetes is due largely to lifestyle, with obesity being the number one risk factor; it is well accepted that heredity is also a factor. Studies of exercise performance indicate that, generally , exercise capacity is decreased while a diabetic is also metabolically less efficient than their non-diabetic counterpart. The good news is that the diabetic responds normally and appropriately to exercise training, thus proving beneficial by increasing physical work capacity, cardiovascular stability, self image, and lipid profile. Most importantly, exercise is associated with reduction in the insulin requirements necessary to achieve glucose control. Two other points need mentioning when discussing the benefits of regular physical activity: 1. An anti- obesity effect due to the increased caloric expenditure. 2. The satisfactionof being able to compete in a non-diabetic much inspiration to persevere. Lastly, exercsie is considered an important adjunct to diet in helping to lower complications associated with long term, uncontrolled diabetes by helping to reduce cholesterol, blood sugar, blood pressure, and body weight. For those individuals at risk for developing diabetes, a major study done at the University of California at Berkeley found that for every 500 calories expended during exercise, a person’s risk is cut by 6%. Here are your 5 Training Guidlines IDDm patients must carefully coordinate the dose and timing of insulin injections with the exercise program. Typicallythey should check BS 30 minutes before and 1 hour after exercise. Review symptoms of hypoglycemia with the patient before the exercise session. Keep a record of activity, BS reading and symptoms. Know the medications of the diabetic , especially as they impact HR and BP. For IDDM insulin should be injected away from exercise muscle, preferably in the abdominal region. The injection should occur at least one hour before exercising. I hope you enjoy and take this information to heart. Have a happy and healthy day! Sincerely Yours, Natalie Pyles Health, & Weight-loss Expert, Nutrition & Lifestyle Specialist, Author and Speaker

You want to lose weight so how does strength training fit in the picture? Using weights is a fantastic complement to cardiovascular exercise. But there are some misconceptions about strength training you should know about.
Myth #1: Weightlifting will get rid of my unsightly bulges. Unfortunately, there is no such thing as “spot reduction. ” Lifting weights alone will not get rid of that bra overhang or jiggle under your arms. The truth is you must reduce fat all over to see results in your trouble zones. The best way to do this is by combining cardio and strength training. Regular aerobic exercise burns calories and helps melt away the pounds. Strength training (using free weights or weight machines) will build muscle mass. Those muscles will burn more calories for you. It’s estimated that you need 50-60 extra calories per day to maintain each pound of muscle you add to your body.
Myth #2: If you lift weights, you have to eat a lot more protein. Supermarket shelves are filled with protein bars, powders, supplements and drinks. We have been programmed to think eat protein, eat protein. But an average 130 pound woman only needs 47-60 grams of protein a day. If you consume too much protein, you strain your kidneys and liver. Protein, healthy carbs and fat are all necessary for muscle growth.
Myth #3: The more repetitions, the better. You want to keep the number of repetitions down to about 8-12 repetitions. By the time you get to your 10th rep or so, your muscle should feel fatigued. This strain is necessary to build up your muscles. If you just do endless reps with light weights, you might as well spend your time doing cardio.
When you exercise with weights, you build muscle and maximize your time. If you’re going to spend 5 minutes doing squats, grab a pair of dumbbells and hold them while you’re doing the squats. You’re spending the same amount of time exercising but your body is getting a more effective workout. Incorporating strength training a few times every week will help you get to your goal weight faster!
