So today is the last day of the Denver Golf Expo and despite not having my partner Tyler Ferrell here of golffitnessguys.com, it's gone really well!
I presented "Power equals Distance" on friday and saturday and had about 60 attendees and they all seemed to love it!
By the way, if you missed it, feel free to email me and I will send you the presentation so that you can do the tests and use the exercises we recommended to help you get better with your ability to move your body. Remember, a better moving body will allow you to learn and play better golf!
Don't forget about our 3D motion capture weekend next weekend the 19th-21st, when Tyler and I will be using the same technology that TPI uses on all the Titleist tour players to test the effeciency of their games!
CALL SOON to book your time though, cause Saturday is already full!

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
PS - Rememeber, Prograde Nutrition's HUGE Holiday Savings ends TOMORROW night. You definitely want to get over to http://yourstore.getprograde.com/specials.html right NOW and place you order to save 15% on all their killer products. It's my duty as a proud Prograde Partner to remind you ;-)

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...
- 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.
- Only have a "palm full" of hors d'oeuvres- and make them veggies or a protein snack
- 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"...

- I will drink plenty of water all day long, especially during Hors D'oeurves
- I am either not going to drink alcohol, or only have one glass of wine with dinner.
- I am going to eat till being satisfied, not full
- I will not succomb to "peer/family pressure" to "eat up"
- 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!

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!
