Get fit for golf
10:59am Friday 12th March 2010 in
GOLFERS worried their fitness could be below par are being encouraged to join a new fitness class.
The sessions include sitting on a large Fitball and undertaking exercises to boost flexibility, strength, stability and cardiovascular fitness.
Classes are being run at Durham County Council's Coxhoe Leisure Centre, by physiotherapist and personal trainer Neil Sleeman.
Centre manager Sean Readman said: "I like to think I've got a mean drive but let's face it: with the weather we've had this winter I haven't seen the green much, never mind taken to it.
"This class aims to get everyone back in the swing without freezing to the spot and I am sure it's going to be popular."
For more information, call Coxhoe Leisure Centre on 0191-301-8302.
