Gary Player
You don’t usually expect to see a 77 year old man posing nude on the cover of a national magazine.
But Gary Player is no ordinary man.
He’s a Grand Slam winner who’s won more than 160 tournaments in the last 5 decades. He’s also one of the first golfers to pay attention to diet and fitness.
He was buddies with the late Jack LaLanne, who was famous for his physical fitness even into his senior years.
And from the looks of the ESPN magazine cover, Gary Player is following suit.
Posing nude for ESPN definitely got everyone’s attention, and he’s using it to repeat the message that he’s been trumpeting for years: That what you eat is 70% of the fitness puzzle, and physical fitness is the key to living your best life.
“Nutritionists Will Be the New Personal Trainers”
Gary believes that nutrition is the biggest piece of your health puzzle.
He says that in his early career most pro golfers, himself included, didn’t pay attention to the food they were eating.
But his friendship with Jack LaLanne, the “godfather of fitness”, and the rising popularity of health and fitness consciousness over the years prompted a change.
For the last several years, he’s followed a vegetarian diet. He says he’s had much more energy since he mostly cut out meat:
“I need less sleep, my cholesterol is lower, and my stomach works way better, if you understand what I am saying,” he says.
Gary Player’s secret is to eat mostly fruits and vegetables and avoid animal fats.
But he still indulges in different types of chocolate, and an occasional beer or whiskey.
Gary works hard to stay fit, with a combination of walking, jogging, weights and swimming.
He also meditates for 20 to 30 minutes every day.
“I think it’s important to work on strength of mind, patience and gratitude,” he says.
So what can we learn from Gary Player’s exceptional success?
Gary’s Top Four Tips for Golfers
Here are some tips adapted from Gary’s best advice for your health and your game:
1. Walk: not just on the course but off the course as well. Walking builds stamina, endurance, and generally just keeps you fit.
2. Develop both sides of your body. Unless you’re ambidextrous, chances are you have one side that’s stronger than the other. When you perform any repetitive motion like a golf swing, you have to balance the workout by exercising the other side as well. If you’re a righty, you can swing a weighted club left-handed. This keeps your back, hips, and body in alignment.
3. Work on Your Core. It’s no secret that your core is what “holds” your body together—that’s why it’s called your core! Having strong core muscles will help prevent back and other joint injuries.
4. Get to a healthy weight and stay there. If you want to enjoy the great game of golf for the rest of your life, you should know that that lifetime will be shorter if you’re overweight.
Speaking of being overweight…
Did you know that 7 out of 10 golfers are overweight and out of shape?
While golf isn’t a sport like basketball or soccer, that requires you to be in top shape…
Your health DOES affect your golf game. Make no mistake, your health and your weight affect everything in your life.
If you’re overweight, overtired, with low energy, and not feeling your best, you’re not going to play your best game. And you’re not going to enjoy the game as much, either, which of course is why we all play…because we love the game. It’s as simple as that.
And that’s a real shame, because I’ve developed an amazingly simple plan that you can start using to drop inches and sizes, boost your energy, and improve your golf score and your overall health — All at the same time!
Everyone (not just golfers) can benefit from this way of eating. And you will start seeing results in just two short weeks.
