We all know that we need to warm up before we work out but what should we include in our warm up? You see some people jump right into a light jog while others touch their toes and pull on their arms. Is one better than the other? There is a great debate in the fitness world about this issue. I can only give you my opinion.

Many strength coaches, including myself, support the use of dynamic stretching. Dynamic stretching increases core and muscle temperature, lengthens the muscles, lubricates joints, and helps decrease the chance of injury. Dynamic stretches use controlled movements throughout the entire range of motion. This is different from static stretches which involves holding the farthest point in the range of motion. It is also different from ballistic stretching which uses momentum to force the body beyond its normal range of motion.

Next time you workout, or even practice on the range, try this routine. You will feel gentle pulling but should not feel pain at any time. Start out gentle and progress to a full range of motion.

Metabolic Training

Metabolic training (metcon) refers to conditioning exercises intended to increase the storage and delivery of energy for any activity.

By varying the type and arrangement of exercise we can maximize our ability to store and use energy from different pathways. Metabolic conditioning often involves high intensity interval training.

Take It From Trevino!

March 29th, 2009

Lee Trevino talks about one of the most critical elements to being a better ball striker. Recognizing that all great ball strikers have less loft on their iron shots at impact than at address is critical.

Great thought for all iron shots… not just your wedges!
