8 Ways to Improve Your Golf Game While You Hot Tub!

May 2, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Golfer concentrating on his puttThe weather forecast predicts a high of 81° on Sunday.  Golfers rejoice.  How many times have you been able to bask in the sun in early May as you hit the links?

Did you know that you don’t actually have to be on the golf course to improve your game?!   I’ll bet that you haven’t had much actual golf time since the last fall.  Why not start to practice now to improve your game before you tee off.

Don’t be envious when you watch others on the links. Think hot tub to improve your game.

Here are 7 ways to improve your golf game while you hot tub in good weather or bad.

1. STRENGTHEN YOUR HAND MUSCLES.  Strengthen your wrists and the dozens of tiny muscles in your hands by laying a dishrag (or washcloth) on the edge of the hot tub. Crumple it into a tight ball, letting go and repeating a dozen times with each hand. Do this 3-4 times weekly. What a great way to get a better grip when you’re putting.

2. USE THERAPEUTIC BANDS. These stretchy bands are really great for strengthening and stretching shoulder muscles in ways that expensive gym equipment does not. Shoulder muscles, particularly rotator cuffs are easily injured and will keep you off the course for a long time if they become injured.  A strong chest is needed for an effective swing.

Hold the band overhead with both hands so that you feel some tension in the band. Increase or decrease the tension in the band by gripping it widely or narrowly.  Slowly lower the band behind your back, then up over your head and then down to your belt line. Resistance will increase when the band hits the water giving you a greater workout.

3. SHARPEN YOUR MENTAL FOCUS.  It’s been said that the most important six inches in golf are between the ears.  There are a number of books that help the avid golfer sharpen his/her mental focus and perform better under pressure.  A good book to take to the hot tub (reading it on your Aqua Reader so it won’t get wet) is “Golf is Not A Game of Perfect” by Bob Rotella, PhD, which offers some excellent visualization techniques.  You can also get it as an audio download to play on your ipod. These are techniques that can be done easily while you’re soaking in your Hot Spring Spa and perfectly relaxed.

4. DAYDREAM YOUR PERFECT GAME.  This is the perfect thing to do in the hot tub especially when it’s raining and you can’t get on the links. Daydreaming about the game has been proven to have a positive effect on performance.  Recent studies have shown that while physical practice is the most beneficial, mentally practicing your swing and desired ball flight and outcome is more beneficial than doing nothing at all.

Picture the sound and feel of solid contact from the tee, the flight of the drive, the club you choose for your approach shot, the contour of the green, etc. Play the first several holes in your mind until you start to lose focus.

5. THINK IT THROUGH. Rehearse all scenarios in your mind, so you’ll have a plan of action no matter what happens. What better place to do that then in your hot tub?  Write down your memories of past victories on your AquaNotes while tubbing. Studies have shown that seeing a reminder of past success leads to better performance.

6. WATCH GOLF HOW TO VIDEOS ON YOU iPad AS YOU SOAK. No need to worry about wrecking your iPad when you use the amazing DryCase for iPad.

7. LIMBER UP BEFORE PLAY. Prepare for a tennis or golf game by warming up in the hot tub. Move your joints through their full range of motion and condition your muscles.  Guaranteed to improve your match or beat your handicap!  As we age, we all get stiffer.  Also, as we age, it takes longer to recover from muscle pulls & sprains. Do yourself a favor-take steps to avoid injury by limbering up in your own Hot Spring Spa from Olympic Hot Tub.

8. JUST BREATHE. It’s the quickest and easiest way to clam your nerves. Inhale through your nose as you say to yourself, “I’m breathing in strength.” Exhale through your mouth as you think I’m breathing out tension.  Practicing this quick mantra in your hot tub will have big results on the golf course.

Hot Tub Outdoors for Stress Relief & Mental Health

April 30, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Most people think of a hot tub as a place to relax maybe from a long commute or a hard day at the office or doing  physical work.

There is a far deeper relaxation effect that takes place outdoors. When you take time for a hot tub break outdoors, the mental health benefits may surprise you.

Dr. Jules Pretty, at the Center for Environment and Society in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Essex, in England makes a strong case for “being in nature”.  Irrespective of where we come from in the world, it seems that the presence of living things makes us feel good.

There are three levels of engagement with nature he says.

*The first is passive viewing of nature, as through a window, or in a book, on television or in a painting.

*The second is being in the presence of nearby nature, which is incidental to some other activity, such as walking or cycling to work, or reading on a garden seat, and (we’ve added this one) soaking in a hot tub outdoors.

*The third level is active participation and involvement with nature, such as gardening, hiking or running.

There is now strong evidence that all these levels deliver mental health benefits. The levels with the most involvement deliver the most benefits.

A recent survey of our Olympic Hot Tub Company Hot Spring Spa owners echoed Dr. Pretty’s research  regarding to his second point of engagement with nature. All of the Hot Spring Spa owners we surveyed reported immense pleasure, increased mental relaxation and peace of mind from soaking in their outdoor  hot tubs.

They all said that being in the presence of nature was the “frosting on the cake”, the “cherry on the sundae” that capped the experience and took it from the mundane to the sublime.

It was the reason they rarely missed a night’s soaking.

It was the reason why their own yards gained a bigger place in their lives.

Outside soaking brought  a new appreciation of the previously unseen natural world to hot tub users.  Hot tub owners mentioned owls, squirrels, raccoons, the wind, stars, the trees and far vistas all never before seen in their day to day lives.  So in addition to the great physiological benefits, the mental/spiritual benefits were the most deeply moving.

From my own experience I, too, have been profoundly moved by soaking in my roof top Hot Spring while viewing the stars and satellites (!), feeling the wind and the rain on my face and just letting go of all daily cares and worries.  Plus I get my best ideas in the hot tub!

How about you? Does soaking outside in your hot tub deepened your appreciation of the natural world?

Is your yard more important to you now than before you had a hot tub?

Pleasure is serious business or as the Romans said it RES EST SEVERA VOLUPTAS.  business.

Hot Tub Your Way to Happily Ever After

April 26, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Happy Couple in Hot TubWe’re not marriage counselors at Olympic Hot Tub. 

It’s true we don’t have credentials in counseling, we just sell hot tubs which are a great invention for a happy marriage. Many couples say it’s a “must have” to keep romance and closeness alive.

We do know from 36 years of experience and close to 19,000 hot tub sales that hot tubbing is a great way to live “happily ever after. “  This being Couples Appreciation Month, I wanted to share some tips about hot tubbing and relationship building that our customers have shared with us.

Do you know what all happy and healthy marriages have in common? In every one of them you will find two people committed to making each other happy.

The old saw “marriage is a 50/50 proposition” is way out of date. Marriage is 100/100.  We live in very selfish times. Pop-psychology messages are everywhere in the media encouraging us to love ourselves, do right by ourselves, and generally please ourselves first.

If you really want a happy marriage, you can’t buy into self-centered thinking. Instead, try these 6 time-tested techniques and experience the happiness, peace, and tranquility of a healthy marriage with more than a little help from your hot tub!

1. Make time for each other.   It’s so easy in our hyper-busy modern lifestyles to forget to set aside a little time to enjoy each others company.  Start a weekly tradition of setting a date for the two of you to be together doing something you both enjoy. Keep it simple.  Olympic Hot Tub spa owners have shared the fact that hot tubbing together makes a partnership stronger. Talking to each other, getting to know each other on a daily basis is the social currency that keeps relationships strong.

2. Take time off from each other. The best thing you can do is take time to hot tub alone regularly.  When you’re centered and truly relaxed, you’ll find the energy and will to better appreciate your partner.

3. Make little romantic gestures.  Remember to compliment your spouse.  Leave a love note for them to meet you in the hot tub.  Celebrate the day you first met.  Send flowers for no particular reason.  Give each other a hand reflexology massage while you hot tub.  Take some tips from our post on creating a memorable Valentine’s Day evening in the hot tub. Any day can be Valentine’s Day!

 4. Listen to your spouse. Husbands, remember that women need to express their feelings. Be a good sport and just listen. Don’t interrupt, or get distracted.  Empathize with her.  Let her know that you can relate to what she’s feeling.  Ladies, please remember that the kind of talk you might like to have with your husband does not come naturally to most men.  Just be patient. It’s not a good idea to “unload” on him right when he comes home from work.  The best time to listen to each other: when you’re in the hot tub together.  You’re relaxed and away from it all.  What better time to listen deeply.

5. Trust in each other.  Don’t be suspicious.  To help ensure the trust, be honest with your spouse in all things.  Never keep secrets from each other, not even little ones.  The hot tub’s a perfect place to share your secrets with each other.  What’s shared in the hot tub stays in the hot tub.

 6. Make it your aim to be your spouse’s best friend.  Appreciate your spouse for who they are.  Loosen up and have fun with each other and what better place than in the hot tub when you’re relaxed and together.  If you are practicing the steps above, you are on your way to being your spouse’s best friend – the ultimate relationship in marriage.

Original idea from Slade Hartwell.  Thank you, Slade.  Husband and wife team Slade and Elena Hartwell created ezromantic.com to share their original ideas on romance building with the world.

iPad Your Hot Tub-Hot New Accessory

March 19, 2013 By Leave a Comment
Use your ipad while you hot tub!

Use your iPad while you hot tub!

When I first saw this new product in our Olympic Hot Tub stores, my left-brain rejoiced. What a neat gizmo! I’ll have constant connection and entertainment in my Hot Spring Spa.

But then my right brain took over and asked, “Are you nuts?  Do you want to be multi-tasking in the hot tub? Why not sit quietly and meditate? Stay in the present instead of somewhere in the webasphere. Hot tubs are for unwinding, disengaging; for finding balance in your life, etc.

As my contemplative side tussled with my active side, I thought why not have options? 2013 America is all about options. When you want to space out, leave the gizmo in the house.  When you want to work, catch up with friends, or troll Ebay for bargains, the tablet waterproof dry case is your new best friend.  Now you can download that great stargazing app, have it to look at on your iPad while soaking in your Hot Spring Spa!

No vacation this year?  You’ll never miss it when you can use your ipad from your own backyard hot tub.  No reservations, bad weather, or hassles.  Stay home and save money!

This tablet waterproof dry case let’s you work on that ipad as you hot tub and not worry about moisture. The waterproof case for the iPad & iPad Mini. DryCASE is a flexible, crystal clear waterproof bag that allows complete use of your iPad while keeping it dry and clean.  Simply pump out all the air with the easy to use hand pump and the bag will vacuum seal around the iPad and become completely waterproof.

The airtight seal guarantees that the iPad will stay dry even when you drop it in the hot tub (which I guarantee you will do at least once).  Every DryCase comes with a neoprene activity armband for water sports (like hot tub water polo), and is crystal clear so pictures can be taken through it while using the other side.  (Do ask permission to take your hot tubbing friends’ photos, won’t you?).

Complete with waterproof stereo headphone & microphone jack, the DryCase works with any Tablet or E-Reader.  Like I said, it’s all about options.  Now you can stay connected when you hot tub.  It’s a must have!

Order one today from the Olympic Hot Tub estore or pick one up at any Olympic Hot Tub store.

Hot Tub Weight Lifting-5 Upper Body Exercises To Do In the Tub

March 14, 2013 By Leave a Comment
5 upper body exercises to do in the hot tub with light weights.

5 upper body exercises to do in the hot tub using light weights.

Toning up in the hot tub strengthens your pleasure. If you’ve ever  thought of lifting weights in your hot tub, this post is for you. 

Cailean Johnson, owner of Trilogy Fitness is today’s guest blogger. He’s ranked in the top 3 best Eastside personal trainers by 425 Magazine and he’s my own personal trainer.  We worked on these exercises together and I can guarantee that they are not strenuous, but effective and easy to do.

 Take it away, Cailean:

The same relaxing hot tub experience that eases your sore muscles can help you exercise them for more upper body strength. Use Wet Bells made for the water and available on Olympic Hot Tub’s estore or other handheld weights. Light weights combine with the water resistance and buoyancy for a low-impact session with high-impact effectiveness.

TIPS BEFORE YOU BEGIN

• Try performing one to three sets of each of these exercises 10 to12 times, depending on your fitness level.

•  To be safe, do this when you’re alone in the tub.

•   Sit at the edge of your seat with water up to your shoulders. Warm up with shoulder shrugs, big arm circles forward and   backward, and swinging your arms back and forth across your body.

•  As always, check with your doctor before you start an exercise program.

•  Keep an eye on your body temperature, and make sure your Hot Spring Spa is set no higher than 102º.  Stop and climb out slowly if   you feel overheated, dizzy or faint.  And, stay hydrated while hot tubbing and exercising!

Exercise 1 Bicep Curl

To exercise your arms and biceps, sit up straight with both arms down, raise the weight by flexing the elbow, and then lower it slowly by straightening the elbow close to your side.

Exercise 2 Front/Lat Raise

For a strong shoulder exercise, start with your arms at your side, palms back, and slowly raise both arms without bending until they are in front of you at shoulder height. Lower them slowly, then raise them to the sides until shoulder height and return to the start position.

Exercise 3 Reverse Fly

To strengthen your back, lean forward so your chin is just above the water, hold the weights in front of you until they touch with your elbows slightly bent, then move the weights to the sides to shoulder height and squeeze your shoulder blades together.

Exercise 4 Triceps Kick Back

To exercise your arms and triceps, bend your right elbow so your upper arm is parallel to the hot tub floor, with your forearm perpendicular, your palm facing in and your elbow close to your waist. Holding your upper arm still, straighten your forearm behind you until your entire arm is parallel to the floor and one end of the dumbbell points toward the floor. Slowly bend your arm to lower the weight, return to start position and repeat.

Exercise 5 “Arnold” Overhead Press

To strengthen your shoulders and chest, start with our palms facing your chest, weights together and elbows at your side. Press the weight straight overhead while slowly turning the weights so your palms are facing away from your body when your arms are fully extended. The weights should be shoulder-width apart at top of movement. Without losing momentum, slowly return the weights to the starting position.

The hot tub is the perfect place for health for your body and soul, relaxing and rejuvenating, easing the stress and enhancing the muscle tone. And, just maybe, getting to Michele Obama arms!

Hot Tub Yoga Book Features Easy to Follow Exercises Designed for Hot Tubbing

February 26, 2013 By Leave a Comment

Easy to do yoga exercises in your hot tub.Genius at work.

The idea for a Hot Tub Yoga book hatched when author, Jerry Gee, was in need of limbering up some stiff joints, but was not overly excited about stretching on his living room floor.

He decided to combine his morning hot tub soak with some simple stretching.  Over the course of a couple of weeks Jerry developed a stretching regimen that he found enjoyable and it improved his flexibility.

This spurred an idea. If  I can actually enjoy doing this, so will other people he thought.

“Wow, I need to publish this thing!”

You can now enjoy Hot Tub Yoga in the comfort of your own Hot Spring Spa. The ultimate goal of this book is to help you feel better, so you can have a more active life.  So go ahead with Jerry Gee as your guide, grab your favorite beverage  (Note: better make it de-caf), hop into the tub, and do some Hot Tub Yoga!

Hot Tub Yoga is a water proof, self standing book packed with 20 exercises that will keep you limber so you can live your life without those “I’m getting older aches and pains”.  Set the book on the edge of your hot tub and use the flip chart format to flip from posture to posture. A friendly stick figure with easy to follow illustrations is on each page to demonstrate the proper technique for each exercise. This is an easy, fun way to stretch.  Order here from the author.

Hot tub yoga just might be the thing to set you on an exercise path you can follow.  If nothing else, it’s a great way to start your day.  Who doesn’t need to be more limber & flexible?  And, my take on it is that it’s a lot better going at your own pace than in a yoga studio with too many over achieving yoga fanatics.

Bravo to Jerry Gee for this great book!

RES EST SERVA VOLUPTAS. Pleasure is serious business.
