Golf Specific Training

On the course, you need to maintain a controlled low steady heart rate with periodic rapid bursts.  You want to stimulate this in training.

Rapid Bursts - in a 1 hour workout incorporate a 1 minute “blast” every 15 minutes. Research indicates that 4 - 1 minute blasts through a day may be as if not more beneficial than steady treadmill training.

Interval Training - While maintaining a controlled steady pace on the Treadmill (Breathing Pattern) interrupt with a 30 second to 1 minute Blast then re-establish steady pace and breathing pattern.
