Get your Heart Pumping and your Golf Form in shape with the CardioGolf Fitness System…No golf ball required!
Professional golfers know the importance of athletic development for golf. As a recreational golfer, you may not have the time to train like an elite athlete, but by simply adding a few swing drills into your daily routine, you can dramatically improve your game. And you don’t have to go to the golf course or driving range, you can do these exercises at home with the CardioGolf Slope and Shortee Training Club.
CardioGolf “Complete Fitness System" is a golf-specific program designed by one of ‘Golf Digest Magazine’s ‘Top 50 Best Golf Fitness Professional’ and former ‘LPGA Teacher of the Year.’ Karen a, LPGA Master Professional and AFAA Certified Personal Trainer and Certified Pilates Trainer, Karen Palacios-Jansen helps 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.
The Shortee Club
In CardioGolf Fitness System, we use the Shortee Training Club to do exercises and swing drills. The club is short for the following reasons:
The Shortee Club is easy to swing indoors without hitting the walls or ceilings.
Use the Shortee Club to warm up at golf courses that don’t have practice range.
Carry the Shortee Club in your suitcase when you travel.
The clubhead is closer to your hands, so it is easy to monitor the clubface and learn how to square the face at impact.
Since you are not hitting balls with the Shortee Club, there is no judgment of where the ball goes, so you can work on your technique without getting frustrated.
The Shortee Club is lighter than a regular club, so you can learn to swing the club faster to develop clubhead speed.
The CardioGolf Slope
You almost never have a flat lie on the golf course, so it is important to practice your swing on sloping lies to develop feel and stability. The CardioGolf ‘Slope’ is curved like a fairway slope. You can vary the angle you place your foot to practice various sloping lies.
I developed the CardioGolf Slope to help golfers practice uphill and downhill lies, but it is also a great tool for exercise. You can do a variety of traditional low-impact exercises as well as strength, balance, core and even upper body exercises.
According to studies, surfaces like concrete and treadmills present us with essentially simple ways to move. The continual flat surface creates repetitive motions in our joints and muscles, so movement patterns become locked into on direction.
We neglect wider ranges of motion that would happen on unstable surfaces. Whereas walking on uneven ground continually shifts our center of gravity, meaning we have to work harder to continually come back to balance in the midline, and this has a deeper engagement through the whole of our fascial, muscle and skeletal systems.
The Difference
The difference between a standard flat fitness step and my CardioGolf Slope is the curvature. You never have a completely flat lie on the golf course, whether you are walking or hitting a shot, so it is important to rehearse swinging and walking on a sloped surface.
In the CardioGolf Fitness System, we use the CardioGolf Slope to do low impact cardio, strength, balance exercises and swing drills.
In addition, to the workout program, golfers are invited to be a part of a revolution in wellness, to grow your health and wealth naturally with Zija a nutritional program developed by a world-renowned team of scientists providing comprehensive, natural health and wellness products.
The CardioGolf Health and Wellness
Would you change the way you eat if you knew certain foods could help you play better golf?
Managing your food intake, hydration levels and adding certain nutrients to your diet can not only help you concentrate and focus more on the golf course, but it can also help you keep your heartbeat steady as you make an important shot or putt, help your muscles fire faster for more power, help you fight fatigue so you can play and practice longer and even help you keep your cool after a bad shot. More importantly good nutrition is good for your overall health and well-being.
We all know the importance that fitness, swing mechanics and equipment can have on our golf games, but are you eating the right foods to sustain enough energy throughout your round to play your best golf? The best equipment in the world won’t make a difference if you don’t have energy to get you around the course. We do not hear as much about nutrition for golf, but rest assured that the most elite golfers of the world follow some sort of diet to provide them with the energy-output they need to play their best. While is it not yet the norm for golfers to follow a specialized nutrition program, it will soon become so.
By simply adding a few Zija products into your daily routine and making simple diet modifications, you can dramatically improve your golf game and more importantly your health and well-being.
