Great article from Wall Street Journal

Plank Progressions

The Plank is a great exercise to develop core stability but like all exercises, we need to progress them. Here are some progressions that you should try once you master the plank.

Hip Mobilization from "Assess & Correct"

In my final "sneak preview" video of the bonuses for "Assess and Correct", I go over the Hip Mobilization from the bonus e-book, "Warm Ups for Every Body."

The bonus gives you 2 options for each sport or situation, and you can use the manual to look up the exercises, print them out and bring them to the gym.

Check out the video:

Chest Stretch with a Twist from "Assess & Correct"

Another one of the Bonuses in "Assess & Correct" is a report called "The Great 8 Static Stretches" that shows you 8 stretches that everyone should be doing for better flexibility.
In this video, I go over a chest stretch with an added move that they show in the e-book.

Beyond the Foam Roll from "Assess and Correct"

One of the Bonuses in "Assess & Correct" is an e-book called "Optimal Self-Myofascial Release" which shows you the soft tissue methods and techniques that Mike Robertson, Eric Cressey and Bill Hartman use with their clients and athletes.
In it, they show you a ton of techniques with the foam roller, the stick and tennis or lacrosse balls.
In this video, I go over one of the techniques with the lacrosse ball that they show in the e-bbok.

Great Package for Golfers- "Assess & Correct"

There is a great new 2 DVD package from Mike Robertson, Eric Cressey and Bill Hartman called Assess & Correct that was just released.

This is an excellent product for golfers.

These guys are three of the smartest trainers in the industry, who other trainers go to for information.  I love that they start out with 28 self-assessments to figure out your weak links and then give you demonstrations of 78 exercises that you can possibly use to correct those weak links. 

This is a very user-friendly product with a ton of info and lots of bonus material.

They are offering incredible bonuses for the products as well:

• DVD #1: Your Comprehensive Guide to Self-Assessment
• DVD #2: Your Individualized Corrective Exercise Progressions
• Bonus #1 and #2: The Assess and Correct E-Manual, which is not only a guide to review your assessments on DVD #1, but also includes written cues and photos for every recommended drill in DVD #2 so that you’ll have a resource you can take to the gym with you.
  (PLEASE NOTE:  These two bonuses have been merged into one document for easier downloading.)
  
• Bonus #3: “The Great Eight Static Stretches” E-Manual, which shows you eight additional flexibility drills that we use on a regular basis in addition to the drills featured in the DVDs.
• Bonus #4: The “Optimal Self Myofascial Release” E-Manual, which shows you the soft tissue methods and techniques we use with our clients and athletes.
• Bonus #5: “Warm-ups for Every Body” E-Manual, which is a collection of two sample warm-up templates for different sports/scenarios, including golf.

I highly recommend getting "Assess and Correct".  Stay tuned this week for sample videos from me about some of the things that I took away from the bonuses.

Training the Senior Golfer with John D'Amico

My good friend John D'Amico (TPI Certified both as a Level 3 Medical Professional and Level 2 Golf Biomechanist) came up to the Five Iron Fitness studio to chat about "Training the Senior Golfer."
Too many times senors are afraid to start a fitness program, and John came up to talk about the three most important issues for senior golfers.
