Use it, or lose it. Don’t take a break from golf fitness this holiday season. It is fine to take short breaks to relax and recover, but if you go too long without exercising your golf muscles, you’ll lose strength and flexibility and it may take longer to return to your peak condition.
Do something everyday to keep your muscles and joints loose. Cardiogolf is the perfect way to help you exercise and maintain your golf swing technique at the same time.

Why Golf Conditioning and Fitness?
If you play golf regularly, you should consider adding some golf-specific conditioning into your daily routine because:
* playing golf takes anywhere from 4 to 5 hours
* you may play 36 holes in one day
* you have to walk in and out of traps, stand on sidehill lies and walk on uneven ground
* you are bending over to tee up a ball or get it out of the hole 80 to 90 times
* you are set up in a squat position to hit the ball 80 to 90 times
* you may have to deal with hot and cold weather, wind and rain
* you need to keep your blood sugar levels balanced to keep energy up for 4 to 5 hours
* you are constantly twisting, turning, squatting and bending, the repetitive motions take a toll on joints, tendons and muscles
* you need to stay loose and relax to assure you can achieve full range of motion to get the most out of your swing
It takes 200 days working out to reach your peak physical condition. If you start a program this week, you will be in prime condition by this summer, just in time for the club championship. Don’t delay, start a golf fitness program today.
