Day 23

TAKE THE CHALLENGE.  POST A NOTE  ON MY FACEBOOK PAGE LETTING ME KNOW THAT YOU ARE UP FOR THE CHALLENGE.

THE CARDIOGOLF 1000 PRACTICE SWING CHALLENGE

The challenge is straightforward-simply make 1000 practice swings over the month to improve your swing technique and increase clubhead speed.

You don’t need to go to the driving range or golf course, you can simply make practice swings in your garage or living room at home a few minutes a day (just make sure that you don’t whack the ceiling or walls!)

If you don’t have enough room to swing a regular club, use the ‘Shortee Practice Training Club’.

THE CARDIOGOLF SLOPE

Break it Down-make 30 practice swings a day for 30 days and you will have made 900 swings over the course of a month.  Okay, so it is not exactly a 1000 swings, but close enough (if you really want to get technical, you’ll have to take 33.3333 swing per day to reach 1000 practice swings).  The amount is not the point, the point is to be consistent with your practice; take a few minutes out of your day to work on your golf swing and get some exercise.

How the Challenge Works-

1. Warm Up First-

Before you play, practice or work out, you should always do some kind of warm-up routine to prepare you body to move smoothly.  Do these moves using the CardioGolf Slope.

2. Make 30 Practice Swings-

After you have warmed up, make 30 practice using the CardioGolf Shortee Club.

Benefits of Lunges for Golfers

Benefits of the lunge exercise include developing strength and firmness in your lower body.  The twisting part of the exercise teaches you to rotate over the resistance of your lower body just like what you need to do in the golf swing.

In Cardiogolf, we do a variety of lunges in different planes of motion.  The reverse lunge works the muscles differently than the forward and side lunges.  All are good to help increase strength and mobility in lower lower body.

Reverse Lunge with Twist
  1. Hold an exercise ball with both hands and extend your arms.
  2. Lunge backwards with your left leg, keeping your arms parallel to the ground.
  3. As you lunge backwards, simultaneously rotate your torso to the right, keeping your arms parallel to the ground, hold position for a moment.
  4. Return to the start position and repeat on the opposite leg.
  5. Do 8 to 10 repetitions on each leg.
