What about shoulder mobility? I noticed that rotator cuff exercises have helped my drives significantly. Anyone have specific moves they swear by?

So true! A good cat-cow stretch can work wonders. Plus, it feels great after a long day of work!
Really appreciated this thread! Anyone ever considered using mobile apps for guided workouts? They can be super helpful and often free.
I’ve been using an app that focuses on golf conditioning workouts. It’s designed by pros, and I love how it emphasizes injury prevention!
Great suggestions! I worry that if I don’t stretch enough, I might end up with golfer’s elbow. What stretches do you all recommend?
Totally understand that concern! Wrist flexor stretches can help a lot. Just try not to overdo it!

I recommend starting with a mix of jogging and brisk walking. It’s great for building stamina and simulates the walking needed on a golf course. Plus, you can do it anywhere for free!
That’s a great point! Adding in some interval training with those walks can really boost endurance. You’ll feel the difference on the course!
Cycling is another excellent option! It’s low impact but helps build leg strength and stamina. You can even find trails that resemble a golf course layout for added fun.
Absolutely! And mixing cycling with some hill climbs can really enhance your cardiovascular fitness, which is key for those long rounds.
Have you tried incorporating bodyweight exercises like burpees and lunges? They’re fun and super effective for endurance, plus you don’t need any equipment!
I love bodyweight workouts! They can keep your heart rate up and can be done anywhere. I usually throw in some planks too.
Mixing in some fun activities like dancing or playing soccer can keep you engaged! Both are great forms of cardio and will help keep your energy levels up while golfing.
Absolutely! I often switch up workouts so I don’t get bored, which makes it feel less like a chore.
I’ve been doing park workouts—combining running routes with bodyweight circuits. They are great because they provide variety and you can take advantage of public spaces for free.

Park workouts sound great! Nature can really boost your mood during workouts, too, which is helpful for staying positive.
Don’t underestimate the power of regular stretching! It helps improve flexibility, which is just as important for stamina on the course.
