True Personal Training - Golf Conditioning
The "good walk spoiled" can be taken very seriously by
those with a competitive spirit, and having grown up a
golf orphan, I've seen the affliction first hand. The Strand has
always been considered the Golf Capital of the Entire World,
attracting retirees to settle here for a lifestyle centered around
"the club," whichever of the many one chooses.
We have numerous golf equipment stores; restaurants
have their golfers' menus; vacation and entertainment
packages revolve around golf; yoga studios feature Yoga for
Golfers classes; hypnotherapists have programs for a "winning-
with-the-mind" game; and fitness centers have their
golf training and conditioning programs to boost flexibility,
strength and power. True Personal Training in Little River has
developed such a program, using fitness as the path toward a
more enjoyable game and better score.
Standing in his customized studio, adjacent to the LifeQuest Swim and Fitness center, owner Jesse Yodice takes me
and his staff through some of the exercises to demonstrate
how his system is ideal for taking one's game to the next
level. "For this movement, keep your hips fixed, eyes down
and bring your arms back in full rotation, as far as you can,"
Jesse instructs . While consciously going through the movements,
I can feel every muscle, especially the places where
muscles and joints feel tight and sore. "Stretching is a key
component of the program," Jesse advises.
True Personal Training uses the TRX system of bodyweight
exercises that utilizes specialized web straps attached
to the ceiling that have hand grips and adjustments for
length. There are no barbells, dumbbells or cable weights in
the TRX approach. Instead of striving for powerful biceps, the
goal is to achieve a powerful core, free movement, control
and range of motion, which is perfect for golfers, as these
are all essential components of playing a good game. "Core
work" and "functional fitness" are the hot buzz words in
the industry now, replacing "muscle isolation" and "focus."
The Nautilus equipment mindset is gone, and the functional
training program is where fitness science is today. Interestingly,
the functional TRX system works just as well for men as
women, and for those of any strength or ability, because one
works against one's own limitations, not the weight of the
iron plates and bars.
"The Titleist Performance Institute (TPI) is really behind
us with this," according to Jesse. "They call out the TRX
system as essential for golf conditioning." The training studio
has a flat-screen monitor at the reception desk running TPI
demonstrations of several movements from the TRX system
that are most valuable for improving your swing while you
improve your strength and health.
While many of his golf conditioning clients are in their
60s, and most are men, there is a group of women golfers
in fitness training programs who will begin adding the golf
conditioning program to their regimen. And not all golfers
are retirees. Patrick Lundy from Little River, 19 and already a
professional golfer, is a True Personal Training client during
the off season when he isn't on tour. "Have I gotten improvement?
Big time," says Patrick. "Distance gained was the biggest
thing; gained a lot of distance. I work with a golf coach
through the season, but I'll continue the conditioning work
with Jesse next off season." Most professional golfers adhere
to a conditioning program, important for preventing injuries
that would bring and early end to a good golf season.
Jesse has been taking his program on the road, making
appearances at Martin's golf shops, and is slated to appear at
a number of local golf courses, including River Hills, in Little
River, on March 25, and The Pearl, in Calabash, on May 5.
"I have openings for April, and I'm talking to several private
courses, but haven't committed yet. We'd like to add more"
says Jesse.
The 30-session program runs for 15 weeks, with segments
that focus on flexibility, first; strength, second; and
then strength and flexibility combined for segment three.
While the program is established with a fixed plan, each individual
client is trained for his or her own goals. While pro
golfers may only train in the off season, local amateur golfers
can benefit all year from the ongoing sessions. New classes
are being scheduled for March and April that will help golfers
be in peak performance by the end of May. By Natural Awakenings - Exercise For A Better Game
