Hi, this is Karen Palacios-Jansen creator of CardioGolf. Do you know that simply knowing your physical limitations can not only help you prevent injuries, but can help you improve your game? Most people only practice and work on things that they are good at and neglect their weaknesses. Their games never seem to get better.

Talk to me about what parts of the game you need to improve and what physical limitatins, if any, you have so that I can post specific tips and workouts to help you improve your game.

Balance, turning into my swing, fatigue after 9 holes.

Gail,

Thanks for your message. All the workout that use the CardioGolf Slope are great to help with balance and to build endurance. I will be highlight workouts that emphasize balance and endurance.

About the Slope

The CardioGolf ‘Slope’ Platform is to help golfers practice uphill and downhill lies, but it is also a great tool for exercise. You can do a variety of traditional low-impact exercises as well as strength, balance, core and even upper body exercises.

You almost never have a flat lie on the golf course, so it is important to practice your swing on sloping lies to develop feel and stability. The CardioGolf ‘Slope’ Platform is curved like a fairway slope. You can vary the angle you place your foot to practice varies sloping lies.

You can do a variety of traditional low-impact exercises as well as strength, balance, core and even upper body exercises.

The CardioGolf Slope Platform is ideal for cardiovascular training and lower body exercises and it can be used as a regular gym bench or traditional step as well. The CardioGolf Slope Platform is curved and works similar to a balance ball or BOSU ball also known as a Swiss ball, fit ball or stability ball. The CardioGolf Slope Platform works similar to these training aids, but with the CardioGolf Slope Platform, there is no need to have all the different balls. The CardioGolf Slope Platform will help you work on your core body muscles-back, abdominal and hip muscles. A primary benefit of exercising on the curved CardioGolf Slope Platform as opposed to exercising directly on a hard flat surface is that the body responds to the instability of the 'slope' to remain balanced, engaging many more muscles to do so. The CardioGolf Slope Platform also doubles as a gym bench or step but it can challenge your body’s balance in ways that a stable bench cannot.
