Reshaping with Precision Fitness

Yesterday it started.  I made the decision a while ago to reshape myself. Part of this process is returning to a level of fitness my body hasn’t seen in almost a decade.  When I played professional golf, being in fit was part of

thejob.  Tiger Woods changed what it meant to be a golf athlete.  I remember working with a guy in the Triad who helped me find limitations in my body that inhibited consistent golf swings.  I still have nightmares about the two-hour stretching routine.  Thinking back, man I was in good shape.

Today things are different.  I am still in good shape. Unfortunately the shape is more oval or round.  The athletic physique I used to see in the mirror has laid dormant underneath a warm layer of insulation. No more!

On Wednesday I met with Ted Bohnam at Precision Instruction.  He is taking me through his TPI (Titleist Performance Institute)  fitness program.  Ted is a certified TPI instructor and a black belt in multiple disciplines of martial arts and runs the Precision Fitness division of PI. He will guide me through rebuilding my body from the inside out. The program is thorough. After an evaluation to determine where my body is physically, we will work on balance, flexibility, strength, nutrition, endurance, speed, and power.

Ted will create a specific program for my body to reach my peak fitness levels. Doing this will minimize the restraints of my body that produce improper tendencies in my golf swing.  My goal is to reduce variables that cause me to  make poor golf swings.  The freedom that comes from this is amazing. When your body can DO what you are training it to DO – then reaching your goals is a matter of time and effort.

I hope you can learn something about the role fitness plays in improving your golf game.  I will post about things I am learning both mentally and physically. You can also follow our adventure on the Precision Instruction blog where Ted will share from his perspective.
