VIDEO OF THE MONTH
GET READY TO GET FIT... FOR GOLF!
In the past, golf has been viewed as a relaxing way the "inactive population" spend a day. It's the perfect sport with little athletic ability needed and no grueling off and pre-season training. That is most likely why golf has recently become on of America's favorite pastimes…if you can spend the time! There are now over 28 million people, almost 20% of our population playing golf yearly. Golfers are everywhere and wearing everything!Times are definitely changing! If we take a look back at the body types of many professional golfers in history. Fitness was NOT a focus…and, at the time, really didn't seem to be needed.
Now as we look at what is happening to the bodies of the pros, we see more athletic builds and weight loss throughout the entire tour. From baby boomers to the younger generations alike, no matter what age, aesthetics may not entirely be the focus, but function and fitness definitely are!If you want to play better golf today, you practice by swinging the club a bunch of times and whacking a lot of balls. If you want to continue to play better golf tomorrow and years down the road, then it's time to get on the cutting edge of the fitness movement. Get out of your comfort zone and put the extra effort in to fine tune your body.

Many Americans suffer from chronic conditions linked to their diet. Here is a nutritional powerhouses that could make you healthier with every bite:
POTASSIUM! 🍠🍊🌻🍈🍉🍆🍇🐟🍗🥑🌶🧄🥒🥦🥬
Potassium is one of the most important minerals in the body. It helps regulate fluid balance, muscle contractions and nerve signals. A high-potassium diet may help reduce blood pressure and water retention, protect against stroke and prevent osteoporosis and kidney stones.
In short, it is an electrolyte that helps the communication between nerves and muscles. According to the American Heart Association the more potassium you eat the more sodium you process out of the body. Potassium also helps to relax blood vessels... lowering your blood pressure.
Earlier this year, the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering and Medicine issued a report establishing an adequate intake level of potassium of 2600 mg per day for women and 3400 mg for men.
The majority of Americans do not reach that on a daily occurrence.
While many people take supplements to increase their potassium levels the better bet is to fill your plate daily with potassium rich foods. But you really do have to focus on getting real healthy food on a daily basis.

⛳According to The Titleist Performance Institute, golfers are sprinters...not marathon runners.
🌋A powerful swing requires fast-twitch muscle fibers that help with explosive movements.
🏊♂️🏊♀️Our junior golfers are working on their speed and explosiveness in the pool here in AZ...6ft apart. Nothing better than a good old fashioned relay race.
