Or, as a skeptic might ask, why should I pay for these resistance bands when I can find other bands elsewhere and do exercises that I can look up myself?
Easy answer? We’ve done all the work for you, so you can get started quickly and confidently. Your time is valuable, right? We developed the Cart Gym system based on lots of research focused on identifying exactly what golfers need for an effective warm-up. Not tennis players. Not swimmers. Golfers, and golfers only. Our product is custom-made to meet your specific needs so you can prep your body before a round of golf.
The exercise program was developed by top PGA instructors who gave us the ideal prescription that will work for golfers of all ages and skill levels. Reading workout directions and trying to follow along is one way to learn, but we’ve found that watching our videos and using our resistance band equipment together, at the same time, is a much faster method and works better for most golfers.
The long answer is this:
Our premise is simple. Golfers need a dynamic, golf-specific warm-up to optimize performance and minimize injury risk. It’s best to target the body’s key muscle groups in a logical sequence. First, begin with activating larger muscles like the legs and hips—crucial for stability and power—then, progress to the core and back for rotational strength. Finally, conclude with the shoulders for swing precision and control. Developed with insights from trusted golf fitness experts and resources, this approach not only prepares your body, but also mirrors the golf swing itself, subtly reinforcing muscle memory for improved consistency on the course.
Two key considerations for golfers include 1) the adaptability of our routine to all skill levels and, 2) its practical achievability, taking just 5-10 minutes before a round. Resistance bands are celebrated for being portable and effective, and certainly make this warm-up ideal for home, travel, or the tee box.
