Singer Red Hurley tells Patricia Weston his working life is so busy it is difficult to fit exercise in but he loves to get out on the golf course given half the chance.
Do you take regular exercise?
Yes, I'm quite good when it comes to keeping fit. I find this gives me much more energy for work and keeps my body healthy and my mind healthy too. I love getting out onto the golf course whenever I get the chance and I'm usually so busy concentrating on the game that I forget about all the exercise I'm getting which is great. If it's a bad day or I don't have time for a round of golf, I opt for the gym.
How often do you work out?
I try to get as much exercise as I can, but the reality is that I only partake in regular intensive exercise about two or three times a week. Unfortunately, my working life is so busy at the moment that I can't fit in anymore than that.
Would you consider yourself fit?
I'd consider myself reasonably fit. If I'm not exercising, I'm still rushing around getting things done.
How active are you throughout the day?
My job is really active and I'm always on the go. This gives me a real buzz.
I think I'd go mad if I was sitting at a desk looking at a computer screen all day.
Do you worry about your appearance?
I don't tend to worry too much about the way I look although I probably should.
Would you ever consider cosmetic surgery?
Yes. In the future, if there was something I wanted to change about the way I looked, I'd have no hesitation getting cosmetic surgery.
Do you suffer from stress?
I have to say that I'm a pretty calm person and don't get stressed easily.
What's your attitude towards exercise?
I believe exercise is very important and something everyone should make time for. Regular exercise and a healthy diet are essential.
Patricia Weston recommends:
Improve your golf technique and fitness with this get golfing fit plan. You can perform these exercises at home or incorporate them into your regular workout at the gym.
The forearm muscles are probably the most neglected muscles in any workout, because there's a tendency to just concentrate on the shoulders and upper arm muscles.
Strong forearms can improve golf club grip. Try this exercise: hold a barbell in your hands at your thighs. Keeping your palms facing down, lift to shoulder level and squeeze the forearms before going back to the starting position. Repeat for 12 reps twice.
For the shoulders perform the lateral raise. Hold dumbbells in each hand and bend forward, keeping your tummy muscles tight, your back straight and knees slightly bent. With your weights facing each other and elbows bent, raise up to shoulder level keeping your elbows bent and return. Repeat eight times for three sets.
Do the abdominal reverse crunch curl for strong stomach muscles to help avoid lower back pain and stabilise your core as you play. Lie on your back on a mat. Place your hands on your ears and raise your legs in the air keeping your knees slightly bent. Pull your stomach muscles in as you raise your head and shoulders and slowly return. Do 15-20 crunches.
