Welcome to my “new” blog. New is in quotes because we’re starting up again after a move to our “new” location.
Who are we and what do we do?
Good questions. First, I’m Dr. Brian Sekula and Director of The Health Performance Institute. You can learn more about me here. The Health Performance Institute is an organization dedicated to two important aspects of health, fitness and weight loss. First, The Metabolic Performance Program (MPP) is a science-based, dietary and exercise intervention. I call it an intervention because the foundations of MPP are not something you can easily find. You won’t get the information we provide from most doctor’s or nutritionists, the recommended dietary guidelines (or any government agency for that matter) and you most certainly won’t get this from your run-of-the-mill health or fitness professional.
So what we do with the Metabolic Performance Program is rather unique. But it works. So who can the MPP help? I developed the MPP to help individuals with . . . → Read More: Welcome

The results of last week’s poll are in. In case it’s slipped your mind, the poll was on who you thought would win the PGA Championship. We had 147 votes. Contestant, # votes and finish:
Doug (“This is not an outdoors tournament?”) Pike, 13 votes, 4th place
Rory (“the course is its most vulnerable – ever!”) Sabbatini, 7 votes, last place
NOT Rory Sabbatini (all for fun), 38, 2nd place
Tiger (uh…nevermind), 68 votes, 1st place
Ernie Singh Goosen (I’ll betcha someone in Europe has this name), 21 votes, 3rd place.
Tiger was the unquestionable winner in our poll nearly doubling the votes of NOT Rory, which when you think about it is essentially the field. Strong!
My personal favorite? Ernie Singh Goosen. He came on at the end, closed really hard on Sunday and came in 3rd. Not bad!
My second favorite? Doug Pike. The whole time he thought he was in an outdoors tournament yet . . . → Read More: And coming in 3rd…Ernie Singh Goosen

Well I don’t know why, but an overwhelming majority of you were glad to see that Sergio didn’t win either. In case you missed it or would like to cast your own vote, the poll is here.
I really have nothing against him, nor do I dislike him. And when I’ve seen interviews of him, he comes across as a guy I’d probably like. Some people think he needs an attitude adjustment. He’s too cocky or arrogant. And sometimes he comes across as a smartass – none of which bothers me one way or the other. Being somewhat of a smartass myself is why I think I would probably like him – note emphasis on somewhat.
But even with the outfits (which really mess up the HD experience) I simply don’t think his play stands out all that much one way or the other. Good enough to be there but just . . . → Read More: British Open Poll Results

It’s been awhile since my last post; just over a month. Soon after I created this blog, I suffered the dreaded nerve impingement in my neck. It was absolutely miserable and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Without getting into all of the details, I finally received a correct diagnosis. Five bouts of neck traction, anti-inflammatory medication and rehabilitative exercises have me back on track.
As I said in my initial post, my intentions are to post here frequently regarding fitness for golf. I’ll be posting regurlarly on the Boot Camps that I am running, various articles I have written, golf-specific fitness tips and various other topics. If you read the August issue of Golf Digest that had the health survey, you know there are other issues golfers have to deal with. These other issues as they relate to diet, fitness, health and exercise are the “various . . . → Read More: It's been awhile…
