Everybody battles with their weight from time to time. It’s either too much junk food or not enough exercise. In many cases it is a poor diet and no exercise. We go to work and sit behind a computer or a counter, and we sit. Then we get up for coffee, and then we sit. On and on, day after day. It’s ritual that many people get used to. They are creatures of habit. But trend can be broken.

In many cases, folks just need to get out and about to enjoy life a little. As funny as it might sound, there are many hobbies that keep some people from being stagnant and growing fat. True fitness doesn’t have to come from gym, there are plenty of fit people who simply watch their diet and do something everyday.

Golfing and Fitness

This is one I struggled explaining to my wife. Then she bought some clubs and started coming along. It’s great exercise. Buy backpack style straps for your bag or get a pull cart. Take initiative to walk course. If weather is ninety five degrees and humid, ride a cart. On nice days, walk it. It’s not only good for your body, it’s also good for your mind. The great outdoors has a lot to do with your happiness. And it doesn’t hurt if you make a couple nice birdie putts.

Getting out a couple times a week to play either nine or eighteen will keep your blood flowing and challenge your thought process. Golf is a game for life, in more ways than one.

How much water do we need to drink each day? A good rule is to drink 8-12 glasses per day. If you are an athlete and sweat a lot, you may need more due to fluid loss.

Thirst is not always a good indicator of need for water. By time you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated. Try drinking a glass or two of water every morning. This rehydrates your body after a long period of sleep and wakes your body up.
