12 week progressive Training Plan that encompasses everything from warm ups, to strength training. With options for each activity, there is built in flexibility so that you can work towards your goals within your current abilities.
If you are a golfer that hasn't been in the gym ever, or maybe you are returning after a long layoff, this is a great place to get started. The training here is built to usher in fitness qualities that benefit both health and performance, improve joint range of motion, increase work capacity, and increase potential for more swing speed.
The beginner plan is designed to achieve these goals with a lower training intensity to help smoothly introduce or reintroduce stress at tolerable levels while fitness is improved. This is not a "5 Minute Six Pack" program, we are in this for the long haul to have long lasting fitness and performance improvements. We hope that if you start here at the beginning, you will continue on through the Intermediate and Advanced programs to give you months of training under your belt.
