Springtime Workouts for Golf, Gardening and More
Wednesday March 25, 2009
It still feels like winter outside today, but my husband assures me that spring will get here eventually. I can already tell that people are gearing up for warm weather activities and, perhaps, already feeling a little soreness after being inside for so long.
In fact, one of my clients was so sore from playing her first golf game of the season, she could barely stand up straight.
To help her out, I put together some new golf workouts to get her core and body strong and flexible and I thought I'd highlight some other workouts that my help you prepare for other springtime activities:
- Golf Warm Up Exercises - These moves are perfect for warming up your abs, back, arms and legs before you hit the golf course or the driving range.
- Golf Strength Training Workout - Having a strong body and core can give you more power in your golf swing while protecting you from injury. This workout focuses on overall strength as well as the core muscles used in golf.
- Core Strengthen and Stretch - This simple workout includes exercises for the core as well as flexibility exercises to stretch out the shoulders, back and arms. This is a great workout to prepare you for working in the yard.
- Outdoor Circuit Workout - If you want to spice up your usual walk or run, this circuit includes some tough intervals to keep things interesting and challenging.
Do you have a favorite springtime workout? Leave a comment and give us some new ideas.

I really like the exercises you sugested because they are for a wide variety of levels. I love to exercise and I have friends who ask me for helpful tips, but I don’t want to kill them with some of the stuff I do. I especially liked the golf exercises. I showed my husband so that hopefully next time he comes back from a long day of golf I won’t have to listen to him complain, well at leats a little bit less. Thanks!
Good solid stuff. Might also include another rotation exercise and/or stretch. I work with lots of golfers and several items recur with incredible frequency – involving primarily the hips, wrists, knees, shoulders and sides of the trunk.
