S3 Ep 5: California

Fitness Tests

During their California trip, Mike Shade and Eli Strait engaged in a rigorous fitness assessment with Irish Mike at Hanson Fitness for Golf. They revisited the TPI assessment, focusing on mobility, power, and strength, with Irish Mike providing detailed feedback on their progress. Mike's mobility score improved significantly, dropping from 19 to 8, while Eli's power and strength scores highlighted his dominance in those areas 1.

I was lusting after your shoulder mobility, I confess. But, yeah, that's a huge jump, and it definitely validates the work you've put in on the app.

The session underscored the importance of tailored fitness programs, with Irish Mike's coaching proving effective for both hosts 2.

   

Home Workouts

For those unable to visit the gym regularly, Eli Strait shares practical home workout strategies that require minimal equipment. These workouts, designed to be quick and efficient, cater to busy schedules and can be performed with basic items like kettlebells or resistance bands. Eli emphasizes the importance of incorporating power-focused exercises, such as interval cardio, to enhance golf performance 3.

If you're trying to improve your swing or hit it further, you want to be trying to increase your power.

Additionally, the Fit for Golf app offers a new section for home and hotel room workouts, making it easier for golfers to maintain their fitness routines while traveling 4.
