As someone well past 40 (the graph for my age—which is ascending—has officially crossed the graph for my IQ—which is descending), this topic is near and dear to me. The truth is, the game changes as you get older. A smooth swing that once felt effortless now takes a little more coaxing. Those early morning tee times come with a side of stiffness, and the first few holes can sometimes feel like your real warm-up.
But here’s the reality: it doesn’t have to be that way.
Why Warming Up Matters More as You Age
Our muscles naturally lose some elasticity as we get older. Our joints stiffen, and recovery takes a bit longer. That’s just biology. But instead of accepting it as inevitable, golfers over 40 have an opportunity to warm up smarter and play better.
As golf teachers often tell students, “the best rounds don’t start on the first tee—they start 10 minutes before it.” This is where Cart GymTM comes into play. We designed Cart GymTM with a specific goal in mind: to help golfers of all ages, especially those over 40, prepare their bodies for the movements of golf before they even take a practice swing.
Dynamic Stretching for Lasting Mobility
The beauty of Cart Gym’sTM dynamic stretching routine is that it’s designed to activate your golf muscles—hips, shoulders, core, and back—before you swing a club. This isn’t just about “getting loose”—it’s about priming your body for a full, powerful turn, even if you haven’t been able to touch your toes in years.
A proper warm-up with resistance bands increases blood flow, improves joint mobility, and reduces the risk of injury. You’re not just swinging easier—you’re swinging better. And best of all, you don’t need a gym or a fitness trailer; you can do it right at your cart.
Play Better. Hurt Less. Enjoy More.
Golf doesn’t have to be harder just because you’re getting older. With the right warm-up, you can move better, swing easier, and even add distance. Cart GymTM was designed to make sure you don’t just play golf—you enjoy golf, for as long as you want to.
