Better Fitness, Better Golf
3 Key Elements to a Golf Specific Fitness Program
Many of the top touring professionals know that winning on the tour today takes much more than a great game of golf. It means understanding every aspect of their physical and mental being and what factors influence their performance. Gain a competitive edge in your next round by integrating these three key elements into your current VersusFit Training program.
Specific to golf – Get rid of the traditional gym machines which focus on isolating specific muscle groups and require no stabilization work by additional muscle groups. Avoid the injury risks and ineffectiveness of static free weights in most gyms. Bodyweight training is safer and requires greater neuromuscular control. Training the muscles and central nervous system simultaneously is extremely beneficial to performance fitness.
Increase Core Stability – VersusFit Training efficient movement creates more efficient power. Golfers maintain an athletic posture over long periods of time and require both trunk and core stabilization and endurance. By increasing your strength and endurance in the core region of your body, you provide both a solid base of support for rotation in addition to the proper transfer of power throughout the body.
Vary your Planes of Motion during Exercise – A golf fitness program will have varying planes of motion as part of your weekly strength routine. VersusFit Training Programs offer outstanding varying planes of motion, core strength, rotational power, and stabilizer muscle group conditioning. Planes of movement include front to back motions, left to right and rotational exercises. A VersusFit Training Program offered by a professional VersusFit Certified Coach can help you to perform considerably better, including greater power with a more relaxed swing.

VersusFit is Total Conditioning – Here’s Why
Boxing, MMA, Self Defense, and VersusFit
“Training with Intent” ; by Professor Ted Stickel, Black Belt Instructor, Gracie Barra Brazilian Jiu Jitsu; Katy, Texas
I have been using the VersusFit Suspension training straps and have found them to be the most effective total body performance conditioning system I have ever used. Like everyone else, I have trained extensively with free weights during my lifetime and find VersusFit suspension training to offer far greater core strength, total body power, flexibility, balance and stability conditioning. This method of conditioning meets the requirements of what I call the “Four Pillars of Fitness”: cardiovascular conditioning, muscle strength, muscle endurance, and flexibility. In my profession of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, strength and flexibility are very important for competition and self defense events. The VersusFit suspension straps improve strength and leverage in a large range of angles; this is crucial to optimum performance in Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, MMA, and most other sporting events. I use and recommend the use of VersusFit suspension training straps to all people who want to improve their overall fitness level and manage body weight. A great amount of calories are burned while working out with suspension straps versus free weights, and especially weight machines, because most of the body’s muscle groups are used during each exercise. The VersusFit suspension straps are very heavy duty and are probably the most durable suspension gear on the market. VersusFit suspension straps are certainly built with durability to last in our rugged MMA and self defense training environment.

Solis to face Tony Thompson for the WBC international championship on March 22nd
By ES Boxing
Heavyweight contender Odlanier Solis arrived in Istanbul (Turkey). The 2004 Olympic gold medalist will face US veteran Tony “Tiger” Thompson on March 22nd in Tekirdag. It is the clash of two former Klitschko foes: In March 2011 Solis lost to then WBC champion Vitali Klitschko in Cologne (Germany) due to a knee injury; Thompson had already two shots at Vitali’s younger brother Wladimir in 2008 and 2012 but lost both fights.
“The winner of this bout will get another shot at the world title”, says promoter Ahmet Oner. “With Vitali in retirement and Wladimir facing stiffs like Alex Leapai it’s about time to bring back some action to the heavyweight scene. Both guys have a lot to win but even more to lose. So I am sure that it will be a hell of a fight.”
Solis hit Istanbul yesterday with Miami based physician Osvaldo Nordelo to wrap up his training camp in Turkey. Tomorrow the team expects head coach Manny Masson who will be in Solis’ corner for the Thompson fight. “Solis and Masson have been a very good team before. Manny was one of Solis’ first coaches when he came to Germany in 2007. They have a good chemistry and I am sure that they will have the right game plan to beat Thompson”, states Oner. “Solis loves Turkey. He loves the people and the hospitality. He is in great shape already and we gave him the best possible conditions over here to finalize his training camp. He will do one more week of sparring and then just focus on the fight.”
Bodyweight Training – Angles of Attack
– Duane Stevenson
In a world of instantaneous gratification, starting an exercise regimen and then waiting months, or even years, to visually realize the full benefits can be disheartening. And while 30 minutes a day of cardio is touted as the be-all, end-all of healthy living by medical professionals, the truth is it’s not going to give you the body you want. While cardio is excellent for your heart health and your waist line, relying solely on cardio to get that dream body you’ve always wanted is going to fail every single time.
Enter bodyweight training. Requiring significantly less equipment than traditional weight training, this system allows you to build and lengthen your muscles without keeping a collection of heavy weights or oversized machines in your home gym. And suspension training drastically increases the success rate of bodyweight training by making it possible for you to achieve nearly any angle, thus targeting and working every muscle in your body.
The suspension training gear offered by VersusFit.com allows you to engage in a strenuous, results-driven workout. With just 45 minutes a day, 5 days a week, you can get the best in bodyweight training and, therefore, the most noticeable results. Our system allows you to utilize gravity to your advantage, varying the intensity of your workout all while building a solid core and targeting muscles throughout the body.
When it comes to a home gym, you’ll find nothing more multi-faceted than the VersusFit gear. The results speak for themselves! VersusFit.com products are available online at www.VersusFit.com.
Moderate or Extensive….Just Exercise
Exercise is about more than keeping in shape. It also can help with your emotional and mental health. Exercise can help you improve your self-esteem, keep your mind off problems, and give you a sense of control. In general, people who are fit have less anxiety, depression, and stress than people who are not active.
Research suggests that exercise can help specific mental health problems. Exercise may help prevent depression from coming back (relapse) and improve symptoms of mild depression.
Be safe while you exercise
Moderate exercise is safe for most people, but it’s a good idea to talk to your doctor before increasing your activity. Anyone age 65 or older should talk to a doctor before exercise.
- Start slowly, and gradually increase how much you exercise.
- Stop exercising if you have severe pain, especially chest pain, or severe problems breathing. Talk to your doctor about these symptoms.
- People who are likely to have high anxiety or panic may have an episode during exercise because of the buildup of certain body chemicals (such as lactic acid) from exercise. If you have any problems during exercise, talk with your doctor.
Tips for being active
It can be hard to be active when you feel depressed or anxious or have a mental health problem. But activity can help you feel better, so do your best to find a way to be active. It’s fine to start with small steps. You can build up from a few minutes a day.
- Don’t overdo it. Start with simple exercises, such as walking, bicycling,swimming, or jogging.
- Warm up your muscles for about 5 minutes before you start exercising. To do this, you can walk, slowly move your arms and legs, or do simple muscle stretches.
- Use the talk-sing test to see whether you’re exercising at the right pace.
- If you can talk during exercise, you’re doing fine.
- If you can sing during exercise, you can exercise a little faster or harder.
- If you are not able to talk, you’re probably exercising too hard. Slow down a bit.
- Cool down for 5 to 10 minutes after you exercise. It’s okay to do some stretching exercises during cooldown.
- Drink water before, during, and after exercise.
- Get regular exercise but not within 3 to 4 hours of your bedtime. This might make it hard to fall asleep.
- You can make daily activities part of your exercise program. You can:
- Walk to work or to do errands.
- Push a lawn mower, rake leaves, or shovel snow.
- Vacuum or sweep.
- Play actively with your children, or walk the dog.
Do your best to slowly work up to moderate activity for at least 2½ hours a week. Moderate activity means things like brisk walking, brisk cycling, or shooting baskets. But any activities-including daily chores-that raise your heart rate can be included. Find a pace that is comfortable. You can be active in blocks of 10 minutes or more throughout your day and week.
If you have problems exercising on your own, ask someone to exercise with you or join an exercise group or health club.
