In my opinion, daily practice is the key to success towards any goal. Making 10 practice swings a day or exercising for 5 minutes everyday will get you playing better and in better shape than exercising or practicing for two or three hours once a week. First of all, it is always hard to find big chunks of time to do massive workouts or beat balls on the driving range. Secondly, the long workouts or practice sessions usually lead to fatigued swings, injuries and ingrained bad habits.
There is something to be said about the momentum of taking small daily steps towards a goal that is cumulatively better than taking big steps with less frequency.
Simply taking practice swings with one arm at a time can help you develop feel for the correct positions in the golf swing. As you place one hand on the club, try to simulate your real grip and set-up as much as possible. Swing the club with one arm, feeling the weight of the clubhead to develop feel, tempo and strength.
Use the Cardiogolf ‘Shortee’ Club to practice everyday. If you don’t have room to swing a regular golf indoors or you can’t make it to the golf course or driving range, use the Cardiogolf ‘Shortee’ Club to practice anywhere and at anytime.

One of the most important movements in golf is the squat position. You set up in a squat position at address position and then you want to maintain that squat throughout the swing. As you approach impact, you use the energy that has been stored up from loading into your squat to transfer to the ball as you push off the ground and shift your weight towards the target. Improving your squat will improve your power.
Today we focus on the lower body.
Watch Karen Palacios-Jansen demonstrate this exercise.
To squat properly, you need leg strength. Leg strength will also help you transfer body weight onto the lead leg and to extend the hips up through impact. This move creates a tremendous amount of force to help create power.
Squats are also a versatile exercise. They can be done almost anywhere. Doing squats can also increase joint flexibility and engage the core.
Squats are important for golf and overall strength in legs, glute muscles and core.
Squats
- Standing in shoulder width stance, lift your arms above your head.
- Squat down as you keep your hands over your head. Keep your spine relatively straight as you maintain your knees over your toes.
- Try to squat down so that your thighs are parallel to the ground.
- Return to the start position and repeat motion for 8 to 10 repetitions.

Cardiogolf teams up with Zija International, the leaders in the Natural Health Revolution, to offer golfers of all abilities cutting-edge health and wellness products.
Would you change the way you eat if you knew certain foods could help you play better golf?
Managing your food intake, hydration levels and adding certain nutrients to your diet can not only help you concentrate and focus more on the golf course, but it can also help you keep your heartbeat steady as you make an important shot or putt, help your muscles fire faster for more power, help you fight fatigue so you can play and practice longer and even help you keep your cool after a bad shot. More importantly good nutrition is good for your overall health and well-being.
We all know the importance that fitness, swing mechanics and equipment can have on our golf games, but are you eating the right foods to sustain enough energy throughout your round to play your best golf? The best equipment in the world won’t make a difference if you don’t have energy to get you around the course. We do not hear as much about nutrition for golf, but rest assured that the most elite golfers of the world follow some sort of diet to provide them with the energy-output they need to play their best. While is it not yet the norm for golfers to follow a specialized nutrition program, it will soon become so.
By simply adding a few Zija products into your daily routine and making simple diet modifications, you can dramatically improve your golf game and more importantly your health and well-being.
