If you answered “YES”  to any of these questions, then you have adequate reasoning to hire a personal trainer. While you can certainly accomplish all of these goals on your own, there are some advantages to having a personal trainer that might improve the quality of your fitness regimen. As Personal trainers serving Scottsdale we will give you:

• A fitness evaluation. The evaluation will help us as the trainer determine what kind of shape you are in, and how we will need to design your workout program. We will ask about your health history, medications, and experience with exercise.
• A personalized exercise program designed specifically for you. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to fitness training. Each persons needs and goals are different, and as your personal trainer I will custom design a plan that acknowledges both the shape you’re in and the shape you want to be in.
• Supervised exercise. As personal trainers we will give you undivided attention to make sure you are sticking to your program, using proper form and technique, and that you are getting the most out of your workout without getting injured. The benefits of your program will be explained to you and I will recognize when you’ve reached certain milestones.
• Motivation. There’s nothing like having a trainer give you words of encouragement throughout your workout. This helps with the mental part of getting in shape attitude is everything! If you think you can do it, then you ABSOLUTELY WILL do it!
• Expertise. Good personal trainers are experts in the field of exercise, nutrition, and motivation.  We believe that we are some of the BEST. We are there to give you advice that extends beyond your time with us.  We will educate you about dieting and lifestyle modifications so you know what to do on your own as well. As good personal trainers we strive to be a fountain of knowledge!

Don’t think golf puts specific demands on your body? You must not be a golfer. If you understand the need for a golf-specific regiment in the gym, read on to learn about the exercises that will help you feel better and hit the ball farther every time you go to the country club. If you are in Scottsdale, and would like a Golf Fitness Specific Assessment, we can help you find the exact exercises you should be doing to improve your game now.

Prone Bridge – Start by lying on the floor with your face down. Lift your body with your toes and forearms, keeping a straight line from the heels of your feet to the back of your head. Hold this position for 10 to 20 seconds and repeat. This improves your core, a portion of your body that is essential for good balance and form in your swing.

Pelvic Thrusts – Lying on your back, bend your legs toward the ceiling at the hip. With your arms flat on the floor by your side, lift your hips a few inches off of the floor and return to your original position. Repeat 15 times. This will also work your core muscles.

Horizontal Rotator Cuff Rotation – Standing straight with arms out to either side at shoulder level, allow your elbow to bend at a 90-degree angle. With a weight in each hand, lift the weights toward the ceiling, keeping your upper arm still. Return to the original position and repeat. As a strong rotator cuff is vital to your golf swing, perform this and other rotator-cuff exercises regularly. However, if you have any rotator cuff pain, avoid these exercises to avoid aggravating your injury.

Standing Torso Twist – Place your feet a little wider than shoulder-width apart and place a bar (it can be a broomstick) across your shoulders, holding the bar in place with your hands. Then, twist slowly and deliberately from the right to the left, feeling your abdominals tighten with each movement. Repeat 10 times. This movement obviously correlates to your golf swing, and so will the benefits.

Reverse Barbell Wrist Curls – Sitting at the end of a weight bench, hold a bar in your hands, palms down. Place your forearms on your thighs and let your hands hang over your knees. Next, raise your hands simultaneously. At the peak of the repetition, return to your original position and repeat 10-20 times. Maintaining perfect control over the placement and distance of your putting requires perfect muscle tone and strength, and reverse wrist curls help you tone and strengthen a vitally important golf muscle.

Lunge with a Twist – Holding a weighted dumbbell or medicine ball, stand upright with your arms straight ahead, holding the weight. Step forward with one leg and rotate your upper body to the same side. Return to your starting position and repeat with the other leg. Perform the exercise on each side 10 times. Awkward as the exercise feels initially, it pays off in the long run, adding speed, distance, and power to your gorgeous golf swing.

On the Way Out

When you’re about to head out for a round of golf, you never forget your lucky putter or your favorite pair of gloves. But there may be something you forget that puts you at a disadvantage. What are you forgetting? To stretch.

Toss these golf-friendly stretches in your golf bag for a safe and improved round.

Shoulder: With one arm across your chest, grab the arm by the elbow using your other hand and pull the arm toward your chest. Hold for a few seconds and repeat with the other arm.

Chest: With your arm outstretched, place your hand against a wall, doorway, or tree. Lean forward on the outstretched shoulder until you feel a stretch in your chest. Hold for a few seconds and repeat for your other arm.

Back: Kneel on the ground with your arms stretched out in front of you. Allow your arms to slide away from your body as you shift your hips backward toward your feet. Once you feel the stretch, hold for a few seconds and repeat by performing the stretch to both the left and right sides.

Thighs: Holding a chair, table, pole, or tree for balance, stand straight and bring one foot up to your hand. Hold for a few seconds, relax, and repeat with the other leg.

Recent Participant in one of our Two Month Fitness Intensive Small Groups. Her program consisted of our healthy eating plan, 3-4 Conditioning Sessions per week with her personal trainer Andrew, and Cardio Sessions 3-4 times per week.  A Personal Training program can do this for you!

Maybe you fell out of love with pull-ups because they didn’t require any fancy gym equipment to perform. Or maybe you prefer to stay on the treadmill. Then again, you may have left pull-ups behind because they’re so stinking difficult to perform.

Whatever your reason for not getting any pull-ups in your regimen, it’s time to put excuses away and lift yourself to a stronger, healthier you.

Building Strength

There are plenty of ways to bulk up. You can drink protein shakes and lift lots and lots of weights. But sometimes, you can beef up without ever increasing your strength very much. This is very evident if you consider yourself to be fairly buff, but find your body balking at the pull-up bar.

By working to do one, two, five, 10, and eventually 25 pull-ups, you give your body an incredible amount of strength that simply doesn’t come through other exercises. With a single pull-up, you work a variety of muscles. From the biceps to your forearms, to all sorts of muscles running through your back, pull-ups work them all. But that’s not all. Do pull-ups frequently enough and you can enjoy stronger grip with your hands and improved cardio.

Diverse Options

If you think pull-ups are one size fits all, you’ve not been paying attention. Just like with push-ups, pull-ups work different muscles depending on where you put your hands.

Parallel Grip: Grab a parallel pull-up bar and you’ll work your back and arms in the safest, most ergonomically correct manner possible. Face your palms toward one another and get going!

Close Grip: By placing your hands no farther than a fist apart on a straight pull-up bar, you can grow and strengthen your back muscles by your armpits, your forearm muscles, and the muscles under your biceps. Flip your palms over and do the same thing in the chin-up position, and you’ll work different back and arm muscles.

Shoulder Width: Known as the standard for increasing upper body strength, pull-ups performed with your hands shoulder-width apart feel more natural than other positions and give you an incredible workout. Flip your hands over for a chin-up position, and continue your routine.

Wide Grip: If you’re looking for a stronger upper back, look no further than wide-grip pull-ups. By holding the bar with your hands far apart, your back gets an intense workout, while your other muscles are almost entirely left out of the picture.

Technique

While you may want to begin your first pull-up with your chin already on the bar, that’s not the way to get the full benefit of your pull-ups. Instead, start your pull-up routine at a dead hang. And between each pull-up, don’t jerk your body back up to the bar immediately after leaving. Allow your body to return to the dead-hang position.

Doing these two steps makes your pull-ups much more difficult, but they’ll also ensure you maintain full range of motion in your muscles. Ultimately, these little steps allow your body to be its strongest before, during, and after your pull-up routine!

For Golf Fitness

Strengthening the large muscles of the back, such as the Latissmus Dorsi,  will translate to creating a Greater amount of force when striking the golf ball.  Strong and flexible muscles in the back will give you greater chance of staying on plane through your downswing.  As you know staying on plane throughout your golf swing will lead to both greater accuracy and distance.
