I've been lifting weights 2 to 3 times per week and have been very careful to progress slowly with increasing the weight I"m lifting. Per HB's advice, I've been doing several sets of squats and I think that's made a big difference in buring the calories. It's amazing how exhausted I am and out of breath I am after Squats. I'm very careful when doing them and I go very slow, which is even better for the workout. Maybe I'll even get some of my ass back.
I do the standard barbell squat with an olympic bar and a 35 pound weight on both sides. I know that's light but I prefer it that way because I can actually feel the muscles stretching and it feels safe. The bar itself is actually attached on both sides to a mechanism that slides up and down on a rack. It's like lifting free weights but with a safety catch on the sides.
The next squat I do is with a dumbell. I hole a 50 pound dumbell with both hands, palms up. I let it hang down and then lower myself into the squatting position and back up again. It's great for balance.

Jebus fluffy... When you hit the ball, they gotta get a new one. You look like a long driving champ. You sure know how to make a guy feel old and weak. :-)Fluffy wrote:Hey buddy.join the club....
I am 6'6".....Weighed myself just now and on google 122kg converts into 268.964pounds....
Also recently attached "a" driver swing post 118 "on the course" topic.
The swing sounds solid....The ping tour S wedges really need a good swing not to be chunked on every shot...That grind is far to sharp for my liking.
