This post is some what off topic as for as golf but also relates to ones game. Two years ago I was told by my doctor that I need to loose some weight and to try to get in better shape. I was also diagnose with severe diabetes, the doctor told me I really needed to find at least 30 minutes a day to just do some simple exercise. I told him that with my schedule I did not have an extra 30 minutes which he responded that I had a choice I could find an extra 30 minutes are spend 24 hours a day dead. Well I found that 30 minutes a day and added few onto it, these days I exercise 45 to 50 minutes 4 days a week. I run 2 to 2.5 miles (on a tread mill that I can very the speed and the incline so that I am running up and down hills), spend at least 15-20 minutes on resistance weight machine. Two years ago my weight was 232 pounds today my weight is 167, my diabetes is under control and my A1C test are that of a normal person. One other benefit I have gained from this program is my golf game and I have added distance to my driver, woods, and irons. My driver I have added at least 30 yards, my irons I say at least 15 to 20 yards, so as you see it going back to my opening sentence it does relate to golf in someways.
The main point I am making here is I was one of those people that said they did not have the time to get off the couch or what ever and find a few minutes each day to improve their health. Do not in any way mean for this to sound like a soap box speech I just really proud of what I have accomplish the past two years. BTW I am 62 years old, I'm just old geezer that got in better shape LOL.
