Fit-in-Fifteen - Week 6

By Kelly Blackburn

Welcome to week 6 of Fit-In-Fifteen! Training at home is inexpensive, easy, and convenient. Comfortably nestled in the confines of your own home you have no legitimate excuse for ignoring your training regimen, even though you may find hundreds of reasons to put it off. The fact is that you have to make the time to work out at home and with this workout series you’ll only need 15 minutes!
 
The first step is to test yourself using the Fitness Analyzer. These tests give you a starting point of reference. You will find a training log and as you work through your regimen, list each exercise that you perform each day because seeing your results is an important part of the process. Long before you see measurable results in the mirror or on the course, you can see demonstrable results in black and white through this log. If you are just joining us please refer to weeks 1 to 5 to review prior workouts.
 
We will be using equipment that is affordable and easy to store at home. For those of you who travel, you can easily pack any of these pieces to continue your workouts on the road! We will be using a weighted swing trainer, weighted ball, stability ball, strength tube, and stretch trainer for this series. Any or all of these items can be purchased in the golf fitness pro shop.
 
Our goals for this series are to add power behind the ball and increase distance off the tee! Let’s get started!
