Here is a brief description of our junior philosophy

JUNIOR GOLFERS! WANT TO WIN?

We share Titleist Performance Institute’s Philosophy for Junior Golf:
"Junior golf schools need to first develop fundamental movement skills and establish functional movement patterns, then develop sport specific skills, teach golf-specific skills, and most importantly create a love for the game."

Great athletes become great golfers, not the other way around!

We build your young athlete from the ground up based off developmental age, NOT chronological. We build a “physical literacy” foundation, then build sports specific skills on top of it, not the other way around!

Our focus from the ages of 6 to 9 (Fundamentals) is Fundamental movement skills- Locomotion, Stability, Object Control and Awareness skills, Quickness, Agility and change of direction activities in a class format.

Our focus from the ages of 9-12 (Learn to play) is to introduce all sports skills, continue with mastery of movement skills and begin to introduce golf specific skills, endurance and speed in a class format.

Our focus from the ages of 12-16 (Train to play) is one of the most critical phases since this is where golf skills are ingrained for life! This is the “second window” for speed, power and strength. We are now doing more one-on-one training.

Our focus from the ages of 16-18 involves college prep, national tournament play and physical development. This is all one-on-one training- the same kind we give our PGA Tour winners!

IF YOU WANT YOUR JUNIOR TO ACCEL AT ANY SPORT, ESPECIALLY GOLF, THEY NEED TO BE IN THIS PROGRAM, PERIOD!

Your new decade of golf, how will it start?

Well it's definately crazy to think that it's been 10yrs already since we were worried about the "electronic" world coming to an end, but here we are!

Here's a challenge to start the new year. Get out whatever information you have from 2000 to today and see how much your game has improved during those 10 yrs, and I wonder if you still have:
  1. the same goals
  2. the same issues
  3. the same struggles
  4. the same frustrations
  5. the same limitations
  6. the same aches and pains
  7. more aches and pains
  8. a higher handicap
  9. and maybe even the same clubs!?

My point in asking you these questions is to see if your game has really improved?

My bet is, is that it is probably the same or a little better, but not as much as you want it to be...am I right?

Well, why start 2010 doing the same thing you have for the past 10 years that has led to at best a mediocre game?

I challenge you to see this moment right now as an opportunity to not only improve your game, but to improve your life!

Wouldn't it be great to make this the year that your REALLY...

  1. drop scores
  2. hit it farther
  3. play with less or no pain
  4. be more consistent
  5. play other sports or activities that you love with zeal
  6. enjoy golf
  7. participate in other sports
  8. play with your kiddo's
  9. etc??

So there's your challenge, will you step up and take it?

If you do, I am here to help you...just get in touch and we'll start your journey together!

Holiday Calorie Control Tip #2

Yesterday we discussed how crucial it is for you to have a PLAN to control your calorie intake during the holidays.

Today's tip is even more simple and expands on the premise.

Plan on staying away from the booze.

Look, a drink or two isn't going to be the end of the world. But when two turns to three...I'm not getting on my soap box here.

I'm just telling you something you already know:
Booze leads to bad decisions.

And in this case, we're talking about bad eating decisions.

When alcohol enters the equation even the best laid plans crumble. The extra calories from the cocktails is one thing. But really it's the extra calories you chew that start to add up.

One piece of cake turns to two...A handful of chips turns into a a bag...The dip sitting in front of you mysteriously vanishes...into your belly...You get the picture. ;-)

Have fun. Enjoy yourself.

Just be conscious of what alcohol does to your decision making.

Yours in health,
Dee

Holiday Calorie Control Tip #1

I know you know this.

You know you know this.

Fail to plan, plan to fail.

You can't just HOPE you're going to behave yourself at holiday parties. You can't just do the same old things you've been doing. You can't just miss breakfast. have a light lunch and then go to a party filled with temptation and not go a little insane on the cheese platter ;-)

You have to plan your meals.

You have to plan your workouts.

You have to set your goals in stone.

You don't want to be the person that comes out of the holidays 5 to 10 pounds heavier, do you?

If you don't plan your strategy from preventing it, well, you can PLAN on getting some new clothes that fit your new size.

This is far from doom and gloom. You can still enjoy your favorite foods at parties. You can still have a great time.

But what you can't do is just free-for-all it and stuff your face with everything put in front of you. You know that.

Tell you what: Plan on taking a nice 30 minute walk this weekend and do some solid thinking about what your plan will be. And when you get back home, put it on paper and commit to it.

And think about how great you'll feel about yourself when January comes after you've followed your plan. Oh, and be sure to reward yourself to by doing something special for yourself.

Yours in health,
Dee

Here's your Turkey day fat burning workout!

Turkey Day Workout!

Warm up and stretch till you feel prepared to workout. (If you don’t usually exercise regularly, please be careful and smart about your participation in this program, and only do this if you have your doctor’s permission!)

Now perform 2-4 sets of the following workout (2 for the beginner, 3 for intermediate, and 4 for advanced), with no rest in between each exercise until the end, when you will rest for 2 minutes and start over at the beginning.

All exercises should be performed at 10-15 reps depending on your ability and capacity…please be smart! If anything is painful, stop immediately!

Here we go!
In a station or circuit format…

1. Squats holding a dumb bell- right under the Adam’s apple- keep the chest up, belly button in while bending at the hips and ankles and your knees going forward.

2. Pushups- floor or on a bench- keep your trunk perfectly still and flat…don’t let your body sag!

3. Exercise ball hamstring curls- Lay on your back on the floor, put your feet on the ball, lift your butt to the ceiling, and while maintaining a straight body, pull your heels to your butt, then back to straight again- repeat

4. Bent over dumb bell rows- bend forward at the hips with the dumb bells hanging freely, using your butt and abs to hold you in this position- now pull the dumb bells up so they almost touch your ribcage by pulling your shoulder blades together.

5. Side lunge (or back lunge if you can’t do a side lunge)- with your chest up and upper body stationary, step sideways so the inside leg to where you started goes straight and the outside knee bends as your butt goes back…think of a squat position, butt with one leg out to the side and a almost straight knee.

6. Exercise ball dumb bell presses for chest (or use bench if you can’t balance on a ball)- lay back on the ball so your shoulders and head lay flat to the ceiling with your hips parallel to the floor- start with the dumb bells in your hands and your upper arms resting on the ball, abs braced and glues tight- push the weights toward the ceiling till they almost come together, return to start and repeat

7. Front and side raises for shoulders- with good standing posture (knees soft, chest up, abs braced) lift one dumb bell to the front and one dumb bell to the side so that the two make a 90 degree angle, then lower them and switch, the other to the front and the other to the side- keep repeating

8. Bicep curls- any kind

9. Tricep kickbacks- bend forward and keep upper arms parallel with the body angle you are standing at, then, by hinging at the elbow, straighten your arms so your entire arm is now straight, then hinge at the elbow again and repeat

10. Forward ball rolls- kneel on the floor with your forearms on an exercise ball, with a flat spine, abs braced, slowly roll arms out in front of you while your hips move as if your elbows and hip bones have a string attached to them. If this was true, when you moved your elbows forward, it would pull your hips forward as well. Now do the opposite to get back to start position, which is pull the hips back first which would pull the elbows back as well, repeat.

Now rest 2 minutes and repeat 1-2 more times!

For those of you who do this…do me a favor and make a comment of how you did!

God Bless and have a great Thanksgiving!

Your Pre-Thanksgiving workout

Today's is the ay before a great day! THE day of the year to be most Thankful for the things that God blesses all of us with...mostly our freedom and liberty!

Your workout for today is simple...interval cardio!

Here it is:
Start with a 5 min warm up on your favorite cardio machine (I like the bike or the Guantlet), getting your heart rate to 120 beats per minute (BPM).

Here are the rules of interval work...
1. increase your tension and speed on a bike, and increase your speed (steps per minute) on a guantlet for the recommended work loads listed below
2. try to double your speed and tension during the interval,
3. during recovery, lower the tension and speed to very slow so you can recover quickly
4. I listed the word "hard" below to describe #1 above and what it should feel like to work.

Once you are warm, let's start!
- 20 seconds hard, then recover to 120 BPM
then,
- 30 seconds hard, then recover to 120 BPM
then,
- 60 seconds hard, then recover to 120 BPM
then,
- 30 seconds hard, then recover to 120 BPM
then,
- 15 seconds hard, then recover to 120 BPM
then,
- 60 seconds hard, then recover to 120 BPM
then,
- 20 seconds hard, then recover to 120 BPM
then,

- 60 seconds hard, then recover to 120 BPM
then,

- 20 seconds hard, then recover to 120 BPM
then,

- 60 seconds hard,
then,
- Cool down 5 minute or until your heart rate is below 120 BPM

This entire workout will take at least 24 minutes and longer due to your ability to recover to 120 BPM between each interval.

Go get it!

What to eat, and what not to eat

Today, it's all about portions.

First, some tough love.

My sister responded to my post yesterday and said, "I thought it was a day to indulge!"

OK, valid question, BUT she trains everyday and works hard on her nutritional choices. So for her (or you if you are in the same scenario) I say go for it!

But for everyone else who don't train everyday and make solid nutritional choices...listen up!

Here's what you need to focus on- what to eat and what not to eat...
  1. Drink water! Start when you get up with 8 oz's (which you should anyway), then have 8 oz's every hour up to the point you eat. You will be less likely to overeat if you do this.
  2. Only have a "palm full" of hors d'oeuvres- and make them veggies or a protein snack
  3. If you are going to drink alcohol, then make sure you have a protein or a fat snack with your drink so you don't "over sugar" yourself which is what alcohol is...pure sugar!

Ok- at the Thanksgiving meal, here's how your plate should look...

Split the plate into thirds- 1/3 protein- turkey/ham, 1/3 carbs- mashed taters/dressing and 1/3 vegies.

I am a believer in fats, good fats, so use some gravy on your turkey and stuffing, JUST DON'T OVER DO IT! That's when you get into trouble!

Next, make sure those portions of each of the foods are about the size of your palm and , just like I said yesterday, only eat till you are satisfied!

Now...seconds?

Yes you can, but you have to wait for three hours! The difference is, this time you can't eat it past 8 pm, and it has to be half the size of your original meal.

So try these simple tricks and it will help you be successful on Thanksgiving!

See you tomorrow!

Tis' the Season To Get Fatter?

Yup!

Can you believe Thanksgiving and the holidays are already here? Sheesh! Time flies!

So...are you?

Are you going to be 10 pounds heavier come 2010?

Well, each day this week, I will provide you with some tips to help you NOT hop on the train to "fatterville!"

Today, Monday the 23rd, it's all about the mindset by commiting to yourself.

I want you to start preparing for Thursday in your mind. Wherever you are going, whomever you are seeing, whatever you are eating, I want you to visualize yourself being successful with the choices you WANT to make.

So what choices do you WANT to make on Thanksgiving day?

Really...get out a sheet of paper and write down what you WANT to do, not what you don't want to, I call it your "personal covenant with yourself!"

For me, this is what I WANT to (and WILL do) on Thanksgiving..."my personal covenant"...
  1. I will drink plenty of water all day long, especially during Hors D'oeurves
  2. I am either not going to drink alcohol, or only have one glass of wine with dinner.
  3. I am going to eat till being satisfied, not full
  4. I will not succomb to "peer/family pressure" to "eat up"
  5. I WILL START MY DAY WITH A WORKOUT!

There.

That is my "personal covenant" to myself, and NOTHING will get me to waiver from it!

How about you?

What's yours?

If you want support, make a comment and post yours up and I/we will be sure to help you "stay on track," and to stay off the train to "fatterville!"

See you tommorrow!

You all have cancer! Now- what to do about it!

YES! READ THIS AND PASS IT ON, I'VE BEEN SAYING THIS FOR 5 YEARS NOW!

John Hopkins Update
AFTER YEARS OF TELLING PEOPLE CHEMOTHERAPY IS THE ONLY WAY TO TRY ('TRY', BEING THE KEY WORD) TO ELIMINATE CANCER, JOHNS HOPKINS IS FINALLY STARTING TO TELL YOU THERE IS AN ALTERNATIVE WAY.

Cancer Update from Johns Hopkins :

1. Every person has cancer cells in the body. These cancer cells do not show up in the standard tests until they have multiplied to a few billion. When doctors tell cancer patients that there are no more cancer cells in their bodies after treatment, it just means the tests are unable to detect the cancer cells because they have not reached the detectable size.
2. Cancer cells occur between 6 to more than 10 times in a person's lifetime.
3 When the person's immune system is strong the cancer cells will be destroyed and prevented from multiplying and forming tumors.
4. When a person has cancer it indicates the person has multiple nutritional deficiencies. These could be due to genetic, environmental, food and lifestyle factors.
5. To overcome the multiple nutritional deficiencies, changing diet and including supplements will strengthen the immune system.
6. Chemotherapy involves poisoning the rapidly-growing cancer cells and also destroys rapidly-growing healthy cells in the bone marrow, gastrointestinal tract etc, and can cause organ damage, like liver, kidneys, heart, lungs etc.
7. Radiation while destroying cancer cells also burns, scars and damages healthy cells, tissues and organs.
8. Initial treatment with chemotherapy and radiation will often reduce tumor size. However prolonged use of chemotherapy and radiation do not result in more tumor destruction.
9. When the body has too much toxic burden from chemotherapy and radiation the immune system is either compromised or destroyed, hence the person can succumb to various kinds of infections and complications.
10. Chemotherapy and radiation can cause cancer cells to mutate and become resistant and difficult to destroy. Surgery can also cause cancer cells to spread to other sites.
11. An effective way to battle cancer is to starve the cancer cells by not feeding it with the foods it needs to multiply.. *CANCER CELLS FEED ON: a. Sugar is a cancer-feeder. By cutting off sugar it cuts off one important food supply to the cancer cells. Sugar substitutes like NutraSweet, Equal, Spoonful, etc are made with Aspartame and it is harmful. A better natural substitute would be Manuka honey or molasses, but only in very small amounts. Table salt has a chemical added to make it white in color. Better alternative is Bragg's aminos or sea salt. b. Milk causes the body to produce mucus, especially in the gastro-intestinal tract. Cancer feeds on mucus. By cutting off milk and substituting with unsweetened soy milk cancer cells are being starved. c. Cancer cells thrive in an acid environment. A meat-based diet is acidic and it is best to eat fish, and a little chicken rather than beef or pork. Meat also contains livestock antibiotics, growth hormones and parasites, which are all harmful, especially to people with cancer. d. A diet made of 80% fresh vegetables and juice, whole grains, seeds, nuts and a little fruits help put the body into an alkaline environment. About 20% can be from cooked food including beans. Fresh vegetable juices provide live enzymes that are easily absorbed and reach down to cellular levels within 15 minutes to nourish and enhance growth of healthy cells. To obtain live enzymes for building healthy cells try and drink fresh vegetable juice (most vegetables including bean sprouts) and eat some raw vegetables 2 or 3 times a day. Enzymes are destroyed at temperatures of 104 degrees F (40 degrees C). e. Avoid coffee, tea, and chocolate, which have high caffeine. Green tea is a better alternative and has cancer fighting properties. Water-best to drink purified water, or filtered, to avoid known toxins and heavy metals in tap water. Distilled water is acidic, avoid it.
12. Meat protein is difficult to digest and requires a lot of digestive enzymes. Undigested meat remaining in the intestines becomes putrefied and leads to more toxic buildup.
13. Cancer cell walls have a tough protein covering. By refraining from or eating less meat it frees more enzymes to attack the protein walls of cancer cells and allows the body's killer cells to destroy the cancer cells.
14. Some supplements build up the immune system (IP6, Flor-ssence, Essiac, anti-oxidants, vitamins, minerals, EFAs etc.) to enable the bodies own killer cells to destroy cancer cells.. Other supplements like vitamin E are known to cause apoptosis, or programmed cell death, the body's normal method of disposing of damaged, unwanted, or unneeded cells.
15. Cancer is a disease of the mind, body, and spirit. A proactive and positive spirit will help the cancer warrior be a survivor. Anger, un-forgiveness and bitterness put the body into a stressful and acidic environment. Learn to have a loving and forgiving spirit. Learn to relax and enjoy life.
16. Cancer cells cannot thrive in an oxygenated environment. Exercising daily, and deep breathing help to get more oxygen down to the cellular level.

Oxygen therapy is another means employed to destroy cancer cells.
1. No plastic containers in micro.
2. No water bottles in freezer.
3. No plastic wrap in microwave. Johns Hopkins has recently sent this out in its newsletters. This information is being circulated at Walter Reed Army Medical Center as well. Dioxin chemicals cause cancer, especially breast cancer. Dioxins are highly poisonous to the cells of our bodies. Don't freeze your plastic bottles with water in them as this releases dioxins from the plastic. Recently, Dr. Edward Fujimoto, Wellness Program Manager at Cast le Hospital, was on a TV program to explain this health hazard. He talked about dioxins and how bad they are for us. He said that we should not be heating our food in the microwave using plastic containers. This especially applies to foods that contain fat. He said that the combination of fat, high heat, and plastics releases dioxin into the food and ultimately into the cells of the body. Instead, he recommends using glass, such as Corning Ware, Pyrex or ceramic containers for heating food You get the same results, only without the dioxin. So such things as TV dinners, instant ramen and soups, etc., should be removed from the container and heated in something else. Pa per isn't bad but you don't know what is in the paper. It's just safer to use tempered glass, Corning Ware, etc. He reminded us that a while ago some of the fast food restaurants moved away from the foam containers to paper. The dioxin problem is one of the reasons. Also, he pointed out that plastic wrap, such as Saran, is just as dangerous when placed over foods to be cooked in the microwave. As the food is nuked, the high heat causes poisonous toxins to actually melt out of the plastic wrap and drip into the food. Cover food with a paper towel instead.

I'm back!

Sorry all you obsessed golfers!

Hey, so since I've been gone for a while, looks like winter snuck up on me!

So here's is what I recommend to start a successful winter:

GET INTO THE GYM AND GET WITH YOUR INSTRUCTOR TO CREATE A WINTER LESSON PLAN!

That's right! Get in to see me, then get with your instructor and tell them you want a winter instruction plan that will guide you to leading the 2010 season off with a bang!

You see, the PGA tour players are doing just that. They are working on their fitness and weaknesses/struggles they had with their game during the season...right now!

So get after it, and if you need help, let me know...I'm here for you!

Sorry it's been a while!

Since we last visited we finished up helping out the players at the Mens Colorado Open, we've been to another TPI certification, except this time I got to participate in the teaching of the class...definately a blast! We went up to the beautiful Red Sky Ranch and put on a 3D full day experience, and the participants loved it!

We have also been out to the Denver Bronco Kids day out at Green Valley Ranch, and helped the players out at the Denver Open, where more of Colorado's best golfers participated in a great tournament that benefitted the Fellowship of Christian Athletes. We definately support this great ministry and the impact it has on our next generation!

Today we were out at a golf tournament that benefitted the Denver Academy which helps kids that struggle in school...another great cause to support!

Tommorrow we will be out at GVR again for the last of the Colorado Open's, this time it is the Seniors trun to "take a whack" at the course, and we will be out there helping them play their best as well!

I hope you have all played well this summer and look forward to the fall golf that's ahead!

Don't forget about Colorado's only golf fitness clinic starting wednesday at 7am and thursday at 5:30pm at our facility. Come in and get the best golf fitness programs in the state!

Colorado Open week

Yup!

This week is Colorado Open week...play well everyone!

I encourage all of you who play but don't compete, to go out and experience what it's like to enjoy the fruits of you labor! And also to go out and watch those who are better than you at your favorite sport...sometimes they can be outright amazing! Besides that, it can always be a free learning lesson!

Play on!

My dream facility for you

So let's consider this post an "outward" prayer or desire...

And that is my "dream facility" that, so far, exists only in my head! Course I do know one day it will come to fruition, but here's a snapshot of my madness...

First, the entire space would be about 10,000 sq ft and is broken down to,
1. A 40w X 100L space with 18-10 ft ceilings for an indoor driving range with 8-10 practice areas, and to do 3D Motion Capture.
2. A 40 X 60ft office space area with a large office for me, a waiting room, and 4 smaller offices for massage, MAT, chiropractic, etc.
3. A 60 X 60ft gym area
4. A curtain net that could be pulled back and open up the driving range area to be used for junior golf clinics and allow for indoor sprinting, throwing, kicking etc.
5. And don't forget about two big garage doors on the gym side that can be opened!

There! Now it's out there, and I hope you get excited about as well, and maybe one day we'll be blessed with the opportunity to open Colorado's only indoor driving range, 3D Motion Capture system, and golf conditioning center!

Keep training and playing hard!
