Tiger Woods Workout Is Not What You Think
Tiger Woods workout is supposedly this "hush-hush" secret nobody knows about, but everybody is dying to find out. Tiger is human like every other golfer and realizes the importance of conditioning for golf. He brought a new meaning to the word golf as a "sport".
Tiger Woods workout has been rumored to be grueling and highly intensive. I was on a golf forum and even heard someone say Tiger Woods bench presses 300 pounds. I almost fell out of my chair.
For Tiger to put his rotator cuffs, chest and shoulder muscles at risk by bench pressing 300 pounds is a bit extreme. I can confidently say Tiger does not do heavy bench presses. They do no benefit to the golf swing, and put the shoulder complex at a very high risk of injury.
On the other hand, Tiger Woods workout is definitely with weights and most likely progressing to more weights per exercise. All you have to do is look at Tigers physique and you can tell he has gotten bigger and bigger.
But the six million dollar question is, "what is Tiger Woods workout"? "What does he do to produce the results he's getting on the course"?
Have been a strength and conditioning expert for the better part of 20 years now, I can tell you he's doing many exercises incorporating balance, stability, coordination, power and flexibility.
As fast as Tiger swings the club, he realizes he needs to keep his core strength and flexibility at a very high level, and most likely incorporates dynamic strength exercises with weighted medicine balls, exercise tubing, balance boards and free weights (most likely dumbbells).
The rumors that are going around are quite comical. I even heard one that says he is 3 percent bodyfat. That is unbelievable! There is no way he is even under 10 percent. You need to realize that a bodyfat percentage at 3 percent is what professional body builders have during peak competition. That's with veins sticking out all over their body's and skin that is paper thin on top of the muscle.
The search for Tiger Woods workout should end right here!
Take that time in starting you're very own golf fitness workout, incorporating core rotational strength and flexibility; balance; stability; dynamic sequencing of motion with resistance and ultimately power.
There are many "so-called" golf fitness books, dvds and products out there. Be aware! Anything that shows pictures of a golfer sitting in a machine in a gym is NOT golf specific fitness!
The golf swing is a very dynamic movement that's done "on your feet". Most of your exercises should be done this way. Not sitting in a machine isolating one muscle group at a time.
What I want you to do now, is stop the search and start your program. Let the mystery continue of Tiger Woods workout.

Second Flight
My first flight was with my brother's plane, where we ended up crashing our plane into a tree over the river, luckily it fell on the bank. Then we crashed into a tall pine tree, where the plane's wings fell off, and the plane became stuck in the top of the tree. After some time and somewhat of a struggle, hitting the top of the tree with a pipe, we finally removed the plane from the tree. The wings were off, and they had been chopped up somewhat by the propeller that was located above the plane, between the wings. The plane was still in condition to be able to fly again, once we did a little work on it and took it to a safer area. That was until our parakeets pecked it to pieces, but that is another story. For this one, we will just stick with my airplane which we took for the first flight of my plane and the second flight of my radio control airplane flying career.
My second flight occurred several days later. We went to a more open area without any trees around, the high school football field. Surely, we could fly our plane safely there without crashing into anything and destroying it. Well, I took off with my first flight with my own radio control model airplane at the high school. My plane took off pretty fast. I still kept the throttle to high when I flew. It shot up in the air quickly and started flying away so fast, that it was hard to control. I tried to turn so that it would loop back. It was on the other side of the field already though. It took off heading a little to the right of us, so I tried to turn it left. It tilted slightly to the left, then tilted a little too much so that it lost its lift and began to fall rapidly. I turned it back going straight again as soon as it would, but now it was heading away from me again. It could soon be out of range so that I would not be able to control it, or it could keep going straight and land on the high school.
I tried to turn it again, but this time not so sharply. I gradually turned the plane to the left again. It still began to lose altitude, but not as quickly. The worst that could happen is it would crash into the grass. I would go pick it up and fly it again. Gradually it turned, and gradually it lost altitude, still going at full throttle, however. Then suddenly it was going too low. It was aiming straight for the bleachers on the other side of the field. I quickly pulled back on my control to make the plane life above the bleachers. Whack! It was too late. My radio control model aircraft went slamming right into the pole on the top of the bleachers. The radio control airplane model looked like it exploded. The pieces were flying everywhere. There has probably never been a worse airplane wreck than this one was. It flew full speed, streamlining into that pole on the bleachers. My flight time lasted about 30 seconds, before my plane was destroyed.
When I went to survey the damage, the pieces were everywhere. Fortunately, it could all be put back together, except the tail. The tail wings had been split in half, and would have to be replaced. Until then, my plane was grounded. The main wings were chopped up by the propeller a little, but they were still usable. The part that connected the wings together and to the plane was broken in half too, but I was still able to fix that part. It took some time, but in the end my radio control airplane would rise again.

Winged Fighters
This is a story or news article of an epic battle between two fierce commanders of the sky, the man-made airplane and the parakeet. Would man conquer nature or would he be overcome by it? For years, man has fought against nature, struggling through great natural disasters. Earthquakes have ravaged cities and countries. The sea, rivers, or lakes have risen over their borders to consume, unhindered, any creations of mankind. Volcanoes unstoppable powers have historically buried entire villages in magma and ash. What can save man from the devastation inflicted by nature? What can stand against the floods, the winds, and the fire of nature? Such is the setting of the man-made airplane versus nature's parakeet.
At first glance, one would think the parakeet would not stand a chance against an airplane, even though it was a radio control airplane. What would lead the parakeet to attack it and destroy? How could such a small and seemingly harmless creature suddenly rise up and reap havoc on its environment. Obviously, then, one would think the airplane would win. It is made out of strong materials. Although it is small, it is still fifty times larger than the little parakeet. What chance would a tiny parakeet have against such a destructive and powerful machine? Perhaps, in this case mankind would overcome its nemesis – Nature.
The airplane model had already made a couple flights. It was struck down by nature twice, once a tree attacked it and tossed it down into the river below. Another time a tree grabbed it in its branches up high, and would not let it go without much struggle. Although the plane was damaged in both instances, it escaped the destructive grasp of nature, scathed, but able to fight on. Perhaps Mother Nature was seeking revenge against the model aircraft, because it failed to destroy it on it first attempts. Perhaps that is why the parakeets were sent.
The battle began when the plane and the parakeets were alone together. No one, not even the radio control model airplane suspected the attack. The attack was swift and merciless. It came without warning. The parakeets feasted on their prey for a long while after the kill. They ate the wings and the tail. The plane did not have a chance. The parakeets pecked its wings to pieces. They shredded it, particle of Styrofoam by particle of Styrofoam, until the model airplane would never fly again.
By the time any witnesses arrived, it was too late. The plane was dead, and its killers stood triumphantly, unscathed from the battle. Mother Nature had won again decisively and confidently won another battle against its weak and powerless opponent, man and his creations. Will man ever win indefinitely, or will he always be subject to forces of nature, tossed around in the whirl wind, attacked by parakeets? Is there no end? Is there no hope? With all of mankind's advances, he is still devastated by the wind, the water, and the fire.
The moral of this story is to buy a stronger plane, one built out of something other than Styrofoam. A mahogany model airplane is a better bet. It might not fly, because it is not radio control, but at least it looks good. Wooden model airplanes look better than radio control airplanes. They are hand crafted and carefully designed. Parakeets cannot destroy them by pecking them as they did the weak Styrofoam plane. If you are going to get a winged fighter, one that can conquer, or at least not be conquered, by Mother Nature's winged fighters, than you should invest in a wooden mahogany model aircraft. It will float in the water. It might be blown around in the wind, but could still survive. Sure, the fire could devour it, but, you could always fire coat it or something, or metal or stone plate it, whatever you want.
