WINTER GOLF FITNESS Train both sides for strength and flexibility: In golf we are either right-handed or left-handed, but we use the entire body to swing the golf club. This winter, I’m challenging myself to train more of my left side (as a right-handed golfer), and I believe players in our membership could benefit from doing the same. I will be using the speed stick training program, as well as many of the functional fitness pieces of equipment we have in our fitness center at HHCC. You might even see me playing left-handed around the West range! If you are interested in gaining both strength and flexibility over this winter season, please reach out to me and I would be thrilled to assist you in achieving your goals!

The healthy life style is broken up into 4 main parts:
Nutrition, Exercise , Sleep and Stress.
Creating the healthy life takes all 4 parts at 100% to be completely in control to take over your healthy life! How do I obtain a healthy life style? The only answer is slow & steady, and to work at it little by little each day. Some of you may already have 1/4 or 3/4 but are missing the last piece to your healthy life style puzzle and that’s okay. Remembering that perfection isn’t easy and having all 4 parts locked down doesn’t happen often, so when you get it down you will know right away. At the end of the day, as long you are happy and working to be your best self each day that’s all you can do, you can go to sleep knowing you tried your best and you’ll get up tomorrow and get to try again! Stay Healthy my friends! Austin Blair, CPT & Nutrition Fitness Director Email: Ablair@holstonhills.com Office: 865.523.4119 x1252
