Just because our 30-day program is coming to end, doesn’t mean that you should stop exercising. You will want to take a few days to rest and recover from all the stress and strain of working your body, but then you want to continue to do some sort of exercise everyday to maintain your fitness level. Adding rest and recovery into your program will help you refresh your body and you will be able to work even harder when you get back into working out.
Day 28-
Most athletes know that getting enough rest after exercise is essential to high-level performance, but many still over train and feel guilty when they take a day off. The body repairs and strengthens itself in the time between workouts, and continuous training can actually weaken the strongest athletes. Rest is physically necessary so that the muscles can repair, rebuild and strengthen.
If you can’t sit still, then do what I do. Do some ‘active’ rest, where you stretch and do gentle exercises like yoga or Pilates.

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.
