Your Mission, Should You Choose To Accept It….Golf Fitness, NYC

February 5, 2019 by nygolffitnessguru Leave a Comment

 
One of the most memorable lines in Television history, along with one of the most memorable theme songs to go with it. 
 
In the beginning of each episode Peter Graves was given a mission, an impossible mission, left on a portable real-to-real tape recorder that would self destruct just 5 seconds after it was played.
 
Of course the mission was always accepted and completed. Mission accomplished! 
Now I have a mission for all of you… should you choose to accept it of course! 
 
What’s The Mission? 
 
To swing faster than you’ve ever swung before… 
 
Enter SuperSpeed Golf
 
For those of you who don’t already know, the SuperSpeed Golf Training System has caught fire on professional golf tours all over the world. 
 
 
Over 350 PGA, LPGA, Champions, and EUPGA Tour Players are now using SuperSpeed Golf! In fact, you’d be hard pressed to find a profession that’s not using them!
 
What is SuperSpeed Golf?
 
SuperSpeed uses 3 different clubs in its swing protocols. One that is about 20% lighter than a typical driver (green club), the the next club is 10% lighter than a typical driver (blue club), and finally a club that’s 5% heavier (red club). 
 

 
All of their training systems are based on that breakdown of weights, relative to the players driver to really magnify how fast we can get the body to respond in the golf swing.
 
Each of the swing protocols requires you to swing in your dominant direction as well as your non-dominant direction. And for many of you, swinging in your non-dominant direction will seem quite awkward for a while. But I assure you if you pay attention to what your body is supposed to be doing it will improve-as will the speed of the swing as compared to your dominant side.
 
By starting with the lightest club first, you should be able to swing significantly faster than your average driver swing. And by adding load with each progressively heavier club we are teaching the body that even with a little more weight it’s capable of that much faster muscular reaction speed. Which in turn, allows us to create an overspeed scenario for the body, and after weeks of practice, that becomes your new normal for your swing speed.
 
After you’ve used the system for a while (4 – 8 weeks of regular practice), one can expect a 5% – 8% increase in club head speed when going back to hitting balls with your driver. 
 

What Set Should I Get? 
 
 
The green, blue, red series is typically recommended for men and the yellow, green, blue set for women and seniors. My personal recommendation is this. If you are over 60 years of age or under 160lbs. I recommend you use the yellow, green, blue set. I am 57 and 160lbs. and have found that to be challenging enough. Remember, the goal is to swing FASTER. So if the set is too heavy for you it will set you up for failure, not success.
 
How Long Does It Take? 
 
The beginner protocol takes about 6 – 10 minutes, depending on your level of fitness.
 
How Often Should I Do It? 
 
SuperSpeed Golf recommends 3x/week. Now I know that’s probably not realistic for most of you (myself included). But you have to commit to 2/week to see any results. Less than that and you’re just having fun. 
 
What’s The Most Optimal Time To Do It? 
 
This is a deep topic that can take a lot of time to explain but the nuts and bolts are this. Overspeed training is not the same as strength training. The system is mostly focused on training the neuromuscular system (brain to body). So what we need for that is for your muscles and nervous system to be as fresh as possible.
 
You can’t get faster if you’re already tired. 
 
So that means it works best either right after your warm-up before you begin strength training, as a protocol on its own day, and as part of your practice protocol prior to playing a round. 
 
Does It Work? 
 
The below quote comes from SuperSpeed’s Twitter page: 
“Congrats to committed SuperSpeed user Phil Mickelson on a huge WGC Mexico Championship victory today! Here he is before his round today on the range. 
Many golfers complain of losing distance as they get older. At the age of 47 he is still hitting it long and actually improving his club speed year to date! 
Last year Phil’s club head speed average on the PGA Tour was 114.21 MPH. This year he is averaging 115.13. He was a little over 116MPH all the way back in 2012, then dropped slightly in 2014 to 115. 
Even with the years adding on, Phil continues to pound the ball off the tee and continue to compete at the top.“

When Should I Get Started? 
 
I have put together a tracking sheet that will take you through a 12 week protocol, getting you to the beginning of May, so it’s time to start now! 

You need to know your numbers. You cannot change what you don’t measure! 

This is for everyone, regardless of skill level or age. Everyone improves. You just have start.

How Do I Get My Set? 
 
I know some of you already have your own set and now you have a definitive purpose for using it. Those of you who do not own a set can get them by clicking the link below. And I do recommend getting the portable swing speed radar detector along with it. You need to see how fast you are swinging.

Brett’s Bottom Line: 
The best players are making Overspeed Training a key part of their normal practice and training programs to generate more club head speed and shoot lower scores. What is working for these players will work for you too! 
 
Doing these workouts consistently and following the plan is the key to your success. Put it on your calendar and mark off each time you do it on the sheet I give you. That will help you stay consistent and get the work done. Make sure every rep counts and that’s what’s gonna take your game to the next level.
 
 Get started with your training today and Unleash Your Speed!

It’s Time To Improve Your Game! Golf Fitness, NYC

January 31, 2019 by nygolffitnessguru Leave a Comment

​

It may seem hard to imagine with the temperature today reaching a high of just 14 degrees, but the 2019 Golf Season is just 16 weeks away. And before you know it-it will be Spring. 
 
 
I think we can all agree that we all could make huge improvements on our golf game by simply working on our bodies and getting in better shape. To maximize your potential as a golfer – you have to maximize how efficiently and well your body moves.

 
But as a non-fitness professional it can be quite daunting to know how to evaluate and put together a program that will work for you. And on top of that it can be really tough to find the time and the motivation, given our busy schedule to do it on your own without someone to be accountable to.
 
And if you have tried an exercise program on your own and didn’t get the results your were hoping for you realize just how frustrating that can be.
Photo credit (Muscle for Life) 
And when you don’t get the results you wanted your motivation to do anything goes away, you end up giving up and you fall right back into the old habits that got you there in the first place.
 
The problem isn’t you or that you didn’t put the time in. The problem is that you didn’t have the right information and the guidance that you needed to take you from where you were to where you want to go, and to make and keep those changes over the long term.
 
Maybe you relied on information you’ve used in the past or tried a few exercises you found on YouTube, Instagram a fitness magazine, a golf website.. Don’t get me wrong. There’s some cool stuff on all those platforms, but how would you know if the exercise were right for you, right now? You wouldn’t!   
 

So you don’t get the results you wanted.
 
 The fact is when you take random tips you can’t have anything more then a random plan and what you tend to get is  random results. 

 
What you need is an expert that will provide you with the strategies, tools and coaching you need to help you play golf better. I put a plan together to help you achieve your golf goals!
​
It’s called: UP TO PAR
 

 
Now, by participating in this program you’re not going to be the best golfer in the in the world. You’re just able to play the game of golf without getting injured, and you have pretty good mobility and stability in the right places. 
 
The program includes the following: 
  • TPI Level 1 Screen to make sure your body moves the way it’s supposed to move.
  • Tools to help you improve flexibility, mobility and core strength.
  • One-on-one coaching.
  • On-line videos from the TPI library that you can use anytime/anywhere from your phone or tablet to help you stay on track with your homework.
The program focuses on: 
  • flexibility 
  • joint mobility (ankles, hips, thoracic spine, shoulders)
  • segmental stability (hips, core, scapula stabilizers)
  • improving static posture
  • moving better in all three planes of motion
  • improving the following movement patterns (squatting, lunging, bending/hinging, pulling, pushing/pressing, twisting/rotation)
  • strategies for recovery, regeneration & nutrition
If you are a golfer that wants to improve his game and you don’t have a fitness blue print and don’t know how to put it all together for your self don’t worry. I’ve already mapped out a complete program for you.

Brett’s Bottom Line:  

My guess is you went to my website and asked for help because:
  1. You want to get into shape.
  2. You want to play better golf. 
  3. You know getting into better shape will make you a better golfer.
MY GOAL is to make everyone play better. 

Are you committed to making this your best golf year ever?
 
Success Leaves Clues 
“Like so many others, I took regular golf lessons but resisted the notion that I was out of shape. I have been working with Brett for 3 years and I now understand what I believe to be true for virtually every golfer over 50, namely that we are physically unable to produce the swing that our pros are teaching us.”_Mark C. NYC/Phoenix
 

Oh, thankfully my schedule is nearly full and I only have room for 2 more committed golfers and then I’m maxed out for the 2019 season.  So, if you want to reach your highest potential and play your best golf just send me an email or give me a call and we’ll get started right away.

The longer you wait the harder it will be to get in golf shape!

Why Golfers Needs to Lose Weight? Golf Fitness, NYC

January 24, 2019 by nygolffitnessguru Leave a Comment

​​Though golf is a sport that doesn’t literally require you to have a fit looking body, it is still quite easier for physically fit individuals to swing harder, have better focus and improve faster in this game.

And having the flexibility and strength are two of the most important attributes of any golfer, whether you are a newbie or a professional.

But all these traits can’t be attained if you are not physically fit and overweight. PGA Tour’s top golfers commonly have perfect physical physique, which is one of the reasons why they are so successful in the first place.

Yes, getting in shape plays a big role on your swing improvements and if you haven’t figured it out, it is time for you to eat and drink right!

Why Weight Loss is Important?

The benefits of weight loss aren’t just for your golfing abilities, but for a whole lot more. Some of the desirable effects of slimming down include:

* Better focus and concentration

* Lower blood pressure

* Improves strength and energy

* Fastens your metabolism

* Reduces your risks of chronic diseases (diabetes, etc.)

* Lessens joint pain and inflammation

* Better cardiovascular health

* Slows down aging

So even if this doesn’t improve your game, you will certainly boost your overall health.

Weight Loss Programs

Any weight loss program consists of a diet plan, exercise program or both. A combination of both has been shown scientifically to have greater effect in energy, fat loss and overall body mass reduction.

To be able to get consistency in your game, being strong isn’t the only thing you need to improve on but you also need to strengthen your core.

To do this, you need several exercises to help improve both your golf game and your weight.

This includes full body stretch, squats, planks, hip crossovers, pushups, rowing and cardio workouts.

For your diet, it is important to have a fat-free, low-calorie and high-protein diet. Avoid sugary foods and drinks such as sodas, cakes, ice creams and many others.

These practical tips won’t just benefit your game, but it will promote weight loss and helps improve your overall well-being.

Reasons Why Losing Weight are Difficult?

Now if you attempted to lose weight but failed miserably, then you are not alone with your struggle. Thousands or even millions of people can’t seem to lose weight and there are some notable reasons why.

One reason is doing ill-advised fad diet. If you found a free-diet book online, don’t easily be deceived as these types of “freebies” online are just going to lure you into buying their own diet products. So they are not sincere in helping you succeed.

I recommend that you just cut back on carbs and fatty foods such as rice, pastas, potatoes, breads, processed foods and many others. These are just some of the worst foods your weight loss program. Phen-Alternatives.com has an in-depth guide regarding some of the worst foods for weight loss.

Another reason is skipping breakfast. Most dieters think that starting the daily meal in lunch time will do great weight loss favor for them. But it actually doesn’t.

What you need to do is not to skip breakfast and eat your normal morning meal within the first 30 minutes of waking up.

Last and the most common reason why golfers or dieters are having a hard time losing weight is their lack of physical activities.

As mentioned above, dieting alone is neither going to significantly reduce your weight nor the best way to maintain the weight you’ve already lost.

You need to exercise!

A 15-minute workout, preferably cardio or strength training, will definitely promote dozens of health benefits to your body while enhancing your golfing abilities.

Conclusion

Why do you need to lose weight? Golf has players with the best body shapes, just look at the aging but still physically fit Tiger Woods.

Aside from improving your swing, coordination, focus and balance, losing weight has dozen more perks for you.

Playing your next round does give you some slimming advantages. But it is much more ideal if you continuously following a plausible weight loss program to help increase your chances of winning.

Perfect Golf Swing Slow Motion Training Drills and Tips: Golf Fitness, NYC

January 24, 2019 by nygolffitnessguru Leave a Comment

To hit the golf ball correctly with maximum compression and club head speed, a golfer must come into impact on the correct inside swing path. To swing consistently into the ball on the right path, the golf swing must be easy to repeat. This means the backswing and downswing must be on a similar plane, eradicating any need for complicated adjustments during the downswing transition.

The more accurately a golfer can groove a good takeaway, a good wrist hinge into plane and effective top of the backswing position, the easier it becomes to swing down on the right line. Practicing the golf swing in slow motion gives a golfer the best chance of building a swing they can trust to hit crisp iron shots and straight powerful drives.

​​Perfect Golf Swing Slow Motion Takeaway Drill

* Take a golf club, take up a normal stance and then pull the club through the hands until the butt of the shaft touches the tummy.

* The takeaway should be in one piece with the club, hands, arms and shoulders turning together.

* Practice swinging away from an imaginary ball in slow motion keeping the club shaft connected to the tummy which will ensure everything moves away in one piece.

* The club should not travel back more than three feet away from the ball and should be swept slightly round and ‘inside’ as the shoulders turn.

Train the Hands to Rotate onto Backswing Plane

Once the club has moved away three feet or so from the ball the hands must start to hinge the club onto the correct backswing plane.

To locate the correct backswing plane when the one piece takeaway is complete, the wrists should hinge or ‘cock’ the club up so the butt of the shaft points roughly towards the ball. The face of the golf club should be vertical with the toe pointing towards the sky.

This move must be carried out keeping the left arm straight.

This position is commonly known as the half way back position. The more accurate a golfer locates this position, the easier it becomes to find the most effective position at the top of the back swing

As a golfer swings to the top in slow motion, they should keep the butt of the club pointing to an imaginary line drawn from the target, through the ball, into the distance.

As the arms move the club to the top, the shoulders should complete a turn through 90 degrees.

There should be a feeling of separation between the arms, which are now travelling on a more upright plane, and the shoulders, which are turning on a more shallow angle.

At the top of the backswing the club should point directly at the target and be horizontal to the ground.

Training the Downswing in Slow Motion

The more accurate a golfer locates the top of the backswing, the simpler the downswing becomes.

The key to a good downswing transition is to keep the arms swinging down in the same plane as they travelled on during the completion of the backswing.

The legs, hips and shoulders should react to the arms swinging down – the feeling should be of the butt of the club pointing at the ball during the first few inches of the downswing.

Although a golfer wants to hit the ball a good distance, instinctively moving fast from the top, if the first few inches of the downswing are made slowly and accurately, the better the ball will be struck.

The Correct Impact Position Release

As the club comes into impact on the correct inside swing path, the hands must release the club at the ball, so the face is square to the target. The slower this is practiced the easier it is to rotate the club into the correct position at speed. Practice the move of squaring up the club in slow motion, and even hit a few balls in slow motion with a full swing, to rehearse the impact position accurately.

Maximum club head speed comes from being able to strike the ball squarely. If a golfer only practices their swing at full speed, there is little chance of perfecting the basic fundamentals. Similar to a pianist practicing a piece of music, or a formula one driver easing themselves round the track in practice, take the speed out of the golf swing and it will start to operate much more efficiently​​.
