FITNESS NEWS A NOTE FROM YOUR DIRECTOR OF FITNESS
HAPPY NEW YEAR! When it comes to achieving your fitness goals, your mindset is key to your success. As the famous saying goes, “whether you think you can, or think you can’t—you’re right.” Physical results only follow mental training, so when you get your mindset locked down, you’re well on your way to success. Here are a couple of ways to help you stay on track and meet your fitness goals. Goal setting is a powerful tool in your fitness journey because it encourages the behavioral changes you know are necessary to reach your target.
HOW YOGA CAN IMPROVE YOUR GOLF GAME
Golf conditioning yoga is one of the easiest ways to restore, improve, and maintain optimal functional movement patterns and maximize golf performance. Why? Because yoga or yoga asana (yoga for exercise) is ultimately about proper breathing patterns, and high levels of stability, internal strength, muscle endurance, and balance. NEW 6-WEEK YOGA FOR GOLFERS WITH ANNA WOODS The new session begins on Thursdays, beginning January 13 and ending Thursday, February 18. Classes will begin at 10:00am and will be offered at $70 per person. There must be at least 5 attendees to offer the session. To register please email Sherri at fitness@sedgefieldcc.com.
Setting realistic goals is key. So how can you do that? By setting SMART goals: Specific | Set a clear, well-defined goal rather than a general target. Measurable | Set precise, measurable amounts to track your success. Attainable | Be honest with yourself. Can you realistically accomplish your goal? Relevant | Set goals that align with the direction you want to move. Time-bound | Give yourself a concrete deadline for reaching your goal. TRADE YOUR “ALL OR NOTHING” ATTITUDE FOR A MORE FLEXIBLE APPROACH When it comes to working out and improving your health, an “all or nothing” approach is bound to backfire, especially if you’re new to the game. No matter how diligent and consistent you are, something is bound to happen that will knock you off track—whether you stay there or hop back on the train is up to you. When you let go of the “all or nothing” approach and adopt a more flexible mindset around your daily exercise, you learn to substitute when necessary. Life will happen, you will make mistakes, and you won’t always be thrilled with your progress (or yourself). That’s just the honest truth. But when you have a flexible mindset around your workouts, you don’t beat yourself up when you fall off track. Instead, you find ways to keep pushing forward toward your goals.
I look forward to seeing you at the fitness center! Sherri Tallant
