The next few days we will be focusing on developing core strength more more distance. The muscles of the core are the powerhouse and the foundation of your golf swing. Core strength also allows you to have more endurance so you don’t get tired before the end of the round. Your core includes muscles in the abdominals, back and hips. Most of your other muscles attach to this area so the trunk is considered the foundation of all movement.

Golf Fitness Workout to Increase Distance and Consistency-Cardiogolf
Cardiogolf is a golf specific workout designed by LPGA Teacher of the Year Karen Palacios-Jansen. Participants learn exercises to promote better swing mechanics, flexibility, strength and balance throughout the golf swing. The routine is a combination of swing drills and golf specific exercises. It accommodates every golfer regardless of gender, age and skill level or fitness level. All you need is a 4 x 4 sq ft space to do the golf swing exercises. If you don’t have a short practice club or enough room to swing a club, you can use a soccer ball or tennis racquet to simulate the golf swing. We will be doing practice swings, but you can do all the exercises without a club as well. I will show you how. We will not actually be hitting balls, but exercises to improve your swing mechanics as well as flexibility and strength.
