Mobility
This collection of exercises can be a stand-alone workout or mixed in with the More Pars Training collection of workouts. I highly recommend that you pair this with the More Pars Stability Fitness book. Mobility and stability are pals. You cannot have one without the other, especially for your golf game. By increasing your mobility, stability and strength through fitness, you’ll directly impact your ability to improve the efficiency of your golf swing.
Each exercise encompasses at least one of the Power Matrix (Vertical, Rotary, Chop, Wrist & Core Power), which represent the More Pars golf-specific training. We need all for an optimal golf swing. The key to success for any workout is clean form, performing with intensity and for short periods.
WHAT YOU’LL NEED
Water
Mat
Gym or Home
Optional bands, balls and Cardiogolf slope
MIX IT UP AND HAVE FUN! Christina has created lots of fun programs such as Resistance Bands, Plyometerics, Bells & Bars, Power Lifting for Golfers, CardioGolf workouts and more!
