Why a Golf Fitness Trainer?
If you’re like most people, you make it to the golf course with only minutes to spare. No time for the practice range, or putting green, but you do try to get in a few quick stretches to loosen up those tight muscles before you start swinging that driver.
Every year thousands of golfers suffer injuries, some minor, some major, because they have not prepared themselves to play. Swinging that driver takes a lot of energy and puts a great deal of pressure on your body. Twist, turn, swing — if you don’t do a few basic exercises ahead of time to let your body know it’s about to play golf, those injuries are just waiting to happen.
If you have a golf fitness question, ask our trainer for advice.
For your convenience we have set up a special form on the “Ask The Fitness Trainer” page. Visit the page, fill in the form and Kathy will respond to you promptly.
