Cody Wescott

We created OFF-SEASON for the dedicated golf athlete committed to making next season your best yet!

Expect to see more club head speed, more overall strength, an increase in range of motion in your swing, and improved endurance with this program.

OFF-SEASON is a 12-week, full body program (split into 3, 4-week cycles).

There are 3 main workouts each week, along with an additional mobility and conditioning workout. In total - there are 5 programmed workouts per week. We understand not everyone is able to train 5 days a week, which is perfectly fine. If you can commit to at least 2 or 3 of the main workouts (M,W,F on the calendar) this program will still work great for you.

Included are specific videos for every movement prescribed, featuring Cody Wescott himself, so you can easily follow along and ensure you are completing the right movements with excellent form.

Need help with form? We provide unlimited form checks - FREE.

Equipment requirements and recommendations below - options and swaps are provided within the workout, as long as you have the required equipment, you will have everything you need to excel in this program. Additional exercise variations are listed to accommodate skill and spacing needs.

Be prepared to work and see your strength gains take off. Simple, effective, progressive overload so you can measure your progress easily week after week and see yourself get stronger, more mobile, and better at your golf game.

Zone 2 Cardio

B

How to Perform Zone 2 Cardio: A Complete Guide Zone 2 cardio is a low-intensity, steady-state form of exercise that improves endurance and while minimizing fatigue. It’s ideal for long, sustainable sessions where you stay in your optimal heart rate range, typically between 60-70% of your maximum heart rate (MHR). How to Perform Zone 2 Cardio: 1. Warm-up: Begin with a 5-10 minute warm-up to get your muscles ready and heart rate up gradually. 2. Find Your Zone 2 Heart Rate: Use this formula to estimate your target heart rate: Zone 2 = (Maximum Heart Rate) x 0.60 to 0.70 To estimate your maximum heart rate, subtract your age from 220. For example, if you are 30 years old, your max heart rate is roughly 190 beats per minute (bpm), and your Zone 2 range would be between 114-133 bpm. 3. Maintain Steady Pace: During the workout, aim to stay within this heart rate range by maintaining a moderate, steady pace. You should be able to hold a conversation but still feel like you're working. 4. Workout Duration: For best results, aim for 30-90 minutes in Zone 2, depending on your fitness level and time availability. 5. Cool Down: Finish with a 5-10 minute cooldown to bring your heart rate down gradually. Best Equipment for Zone 2 Cardio: 1. Treadmill: Easily adjust speed or incline to stay in Zone 2. 2. Stationary Bike: Excellent for low-impact cardio; adjust resistance to control intensity. 3. Elliptical: Great for a full-body, low-impact workout. 4. Rowing Machine: Works multiple muscle groups while keeping heart rate in a steady zone. 5. Stair Mill: Coach Cody's personal favorite. Options for Limited Equipment: 1. Walking or Jogging Outdoors: Find a comfortable pace and monitor your perceived exertion. Stick to flat terrain or gradual inclines to control intensity. 2. Jump Rope: Use intervals to manage intensity, aiming for slower, rhythmic jumps. 3. Bodyweight Circuits: Create a circuit with exercises like step-ups, air squats, and mountain climbers, adjusting your pace to stay in the Zone 2 range. How to Track Heart Rate Without a Smart Device: If you don't have a smartwatch or heart rate monitor, you can still track your heart rate manually: 1. Find Your Pulse: Place two fingers on your wrist (radial pulse) or neck (carotid pulse). 2. Count Beats: Count the number of beats for 15 seconds and multiply by 4 to get your heart rate in beats per minute (bpm). 3. Perceived Exertion: Use the "talk test"—you should be able to carry on a conversation but feel slightly out of breath. By keeping a consistent pace and staying within your Zone 2 heart rate, you’ll boost endurance, burn fat efficiently, and build a strong aerobic base.

21-15-9

C

21-15-9 will be the rep counts for this workout. Do not rest between rounds. Each round will start. Each round will start with a 400 m run or equivalent - 500m row or 30 cal on the assault bike. 400 M Run or Equivalent listed 21 Thrusters 21 Pull Ups 400 M Run 15 Thrusters 15 Pull Ups 400 M Run 9 Thrusters 9 Pull Ups This is a variation of the CrossFit workout "Fran". One of the workouts I really liked from CrossFit. Weight recommendations are 95lb barbell for men and 65lb for women. Whatever you worked up to for 5 reps should be too heavy for this, you will need less. You may use any variation of the thruster and pull up you'd like, just make it challenging. You should have to break up the big sets, so don't pick a weight or variation you can do all at once.

FAQs
What if I haven't worked out in a long time?
Golf Fitness Foundations is definitely the place to start. We created Foundations for beginners + athletes that haven't been back to the gym in a while. All workouts include videos for every movement and you have the ability to chat and ask questions in the app for any additional guidance you need.
Do I need a gym membership?
We recommend full gym access for OFF-SEASON, but you don't necessarily need a gym membership if you have a barbell, pull-up bar, dumbbells, bench, box, and bands. If you are on the road or traveling, check out our Bodyweight Program or our Golf Customizable Golf Mobility Program.
What is golf fitness?
Golf fitness is more than just doing movements that mimic the golf swing. Fitness is about being strong, mobile, and powerful and CWG Fitness delivers that in all of our programming. We are all about the simple, yet most effective movements that will get you stronger and leave you pain free.
What if I don't know how to perform a movement?
We have a library of 100s of movements so you don't need to worry about doing any movements wrong or needing to look them up yourself. We also offer scaling options for some movements that you may prefer to use depending on your fitness level.
How long do the workouts take?
Our workouts take 55 - 65 minutes depending on how many reps + sets are prescribed and your fitness level.
What if I have programming questions?
Post them in the App Chat - we always give detailed responses and, that way other members can also see answers to questions that they may also have! We believe that education goes a lot further than just prescribing workouts. We can help you understand the WHY behind the movements we prescribe.
What if I can't do 5 days a week?
5 Days a week is how many workouts are programmed, but the mobility and conditioning days can be optional. The mobility and conditioning may workouts can be swapped out for simply getting movement in - like walking. If you can commit to 2-3 days a week, you can still make gains on this program.
I prefer a team-based subscription so I can interact w/ other athletes
We got you! Check out our signature program, Lift Heavy, Swing Fast down below. Lift Heavy, Swing Fast follows the golf season and includes access to our private Facebook community, hundreds of other athletes around the world, and our nutrition eBook, Eat to Perform.
