Backward Walk

Walk backward at 3 to 5 miles per hour for three minutes. Turn around and walk forward for one minute. Repeat three times. This targets the glutes and hamstrings needed for balance.

Side Shuffles

Face sideways and shuffle in a golf posture for 30 seconds in each direction at 3 mph and at a slight incline. Repeat three times. This builds hip and thigh muscles for stability in the swing.

High-Speed Intervals

Run for 30 seconds at 7 mph, then walk for 30 seconds at 3 mph. Repeat 10 times. This builds aero-bic endurance and simulates the start/stop nature of golf.
