Dee here, back from another TPI certification event!
BTW…did you know that you have absolutely NO reason why you shouldn’t be on a golf fitness program?
Know why?
Because there are over 4000 TPI certified professionals in the world that are ready to help you be a better golfer! Find one in your area.
Ok, the big mistake you are probably making is…stretching random muscles cause your golf instructor or personal trainer, or yoga teacher, or because you read it in Mens Health or Golf Digest! Here’s why:
As golf fitness pro’s, Tyler and I believe in seeking to gain “Mobility” in the body, not just flexibility, which would be gained if you just stretched. The difference is in the definition of Mobility, which states that, “Mobility is a combination of joint range of motion and muscle flexibility.”
So what this means to you is that you not only need to stretch, but you need to make sure that the joint that is crossed by the muscle you are stretching is mobile, aka, “free moving.” This is why I posted the tennis ball and foam roller videos, because they help the hip joints’ range of motion AND the muscles flexibility that crosses the hip joint. The result, increase mobility of the hip (and shoulder too since there is a tennis ball therapy video as well!).
To access those videos, just scroll down the page!
So, if you are making the big mistake of just stretching without making sure the joint is being addressed, you are wasting valuable time that could be making you get better quicker!
If you have questions about Mobility and stretching, just email Tyler or I, and we’ll be happy to answer any of your questions!
Now go watch those videos (don’t forget to sign up for our you tube channel) and get more mobile!

You know, Tyler and I started golffitnessguys.com to help “clear the air,” on all of the fallicies of golf fitness, the golf industry and other know or unknown facts about golf.
One of the biggest things we struggle with is the fitness industry’s attempt to teach “golf fitness” to the public by those who are clearly unqualified to do so!
If you are working on your game by exercising, PLEASE (and this is us begging you!) NEVER take a class or work with a “personal trainer” who puts you on a machine or machines that “isolate” a muscle!
Here’s the truth- Your body does not learn is isolated environments! It learns and performs complex movement patterns!
Think Primal. Could you ever envision seeing a caveman doing leg extensions or seated hamstring curls to get a leg workout? Ha! It’s actually almost funny, don’t you think?
On the contrary, due to the fact that Mr. Caveman had to hunt, build, and otherwise survive, he was an excellent squatter, lunger, deadlifter, pusher, puller, walker, runner, bender and rotator! As a golfer, or any athlete for that matter, you should be just like him!
Seek those who are qualified TPI professional (www.mytpi.com) as your best option for the best “leader and educater” when it comes to golf fitness…and don’t comprimise!
So in the end, stay tuned her, cause Tyler and I will continue to serve up healthy servings of the truth and provide you with the best the golf fitness world has to offer! And do your best to be a caveman!
