Announcing that Pramod Shankar, the developer of Golf Yoga, has released its golf fitness app to the public. Golf Yoga is a low cost approach to improving golf skill through golf fitness. Using graduating yoga poses, the app helps prevent golf related injuries while increasing stamina, muscle flexibility, strength and concentration.
With Golf Yoga, golfers can get in shape and improve their game very inexpensively. According to developer Pramod Shankar, “For less than two dollars, users can get more leverage from this app for their golf game and general fitness than they can with hundreds of dollars worth of lessons and equipment”. Golf Yoga is an extremely low investment with high fitness returns.
The app addresses seven areas that typically cause golfers problems: wrists, shoulders, back, quads and knees, hips, balance and core. By strengthening the muscles in these groups, a user can reduce or even avoid injury.
Golf Yoga consists of a graduated system that moves through three levels of fitness. Users start with a Warm Up section, which utilizes photos and brief instructions on how to perform the13 poses for that level, all of which will stretch and prepare the user’s muscles for an injury-free 18 hole round of golf.
Once golfers have increased in stamina, they are ready to move on to the Beginner section. Here, there are 34 different poses, complete with pictures and how-to’s that will increase player flexibility, stamina and overall strength. Both fitness and improved game playing become apparent by the time a user has reached the end of the Beginner level. Hitting this point means that it is time for the Advanced level, which works to vastly improve concentration.
The Golf Yoga exercises are low impact. They prevent pain, not cause it. The app is an instruction guide for avid golfers on how to regain focus and improve their health, along with their golf score. For less than two bucks, it’s a heck of good deal.
