As someone who swam the Mississippi River and biked around the perimeter of the US, I am always on the lookout for people who do unusual endurance events. How about Putting across Scotland? Enjoy…

Men’s Fitness magazine just released their annual list of fittest and fattest cities in America, and out nation’s capital comes in ranked #13.

I would like to think that it is a result of our world-class personal trainers. Unfortunately quality of personal training available wasn’t one of the judging criteria. Instead they looked at things like.

  • how much residents are excising

  • how healthfully they eat

  • how much they use gym memberships

  • how much junk food they consume

  • how much alcohol they consume

  • how much time they spend sitting in traffic.

Men’s Fitness also talks to mayors and city parks departments to learn about local exercise venues, programs designed to get citizens off their couches and moving, and civic leadership.

Washington would have ranked a lot higher if it wasn’t for alcohol comsumption and time spent in traffic. We received a grade of “F” when it came to booze and an “F+” when it came to traffic.

A recent study was conducted comparing the physical attributes of amateur and professional golfers.  Results showed that the biggest difference was not in strength, but in flexibility.  So, chances are if you are an amateur golfer trying to improve your game, you need to stretch.

The more flexible you are, the more consistent your swing will be, you will be able to play longer, and you will be less sore the day after playing. The perfect golf stretching routine will hit all the major muscle groups in your body including: quads, hamstrings, lower back, hips, wrists, shoulders and muscles of the torso.
