Prepare for a Busy Season: Small Movements, Big Results
It’s hard to believe we’re already approaching the end of October! The holidays are right around the corner, and before you know it, our schedules will be filled with family gatherings, travel, shopping, and year-end commitments.
Whether you celebrate the holidays or not, this time of year can get hectic. And one of the first things we tend to sacrifice when life gets busy is our exercise and golf practice.
But here’s something I want you to remember: You don’t have to do everything all at once to make progress.
At CardioGolf®, we believe that moving a little every day can make a big difference in how you feel, how you swing, and how you play.
That’s why our Week 43 Performance Plan focuses on keeping things simple, manageable, and consistent.
A Few Minutes Can Make a Difference
You don’t need to spend an hour in the gym or hit a hundred golf balls to improve. Sometimes, five or ten minutes of focused movement is exactly what you need.
Think about how much you could accomplish by incorporating small amounts of exercise throughout your day.
5 minutes of mobility to loosen your shoulders, hips, and back and help you move more freely.
10 minutes of golf-specific exercises to improve balance, coordination, and strength.
5 minutes of swing drills to reinforce good movement patterns without hitting a ball.
10 minutes of strength training to help maintain muscle and support your golf swing.
A short walk to improve circulation, build endurance, and clear your mind.
These small sessions are sometimes called exercise snacks, and research suggests they can be an effective way to accumulate physical activity and improve certain aspects of fitness.
What Does the Research Say?
There’s growing evidence that you don’t always need long workouts to benefit from exercise.
1. Short bouts of exercise count.
Research on exercise snacks suggests that brief periods of activity spread throughout the day can improve certain measures of cardiovascular fitness, especially in people who are otherwise inactive.

2. You can maintain strength with less training than you might think.
Research on minimal-dose resistance training suggests that even relatively small amounts of strength training can help maintain strength and, depending on your training history, produce improvements.
This is particularly encouraging during busy weeks when you can’t fit in your regular workouts.

3. Consistency matters more than perfection.
As the weather changes and schedules become more demanding, it’s easy to become less active. Instead of abandoning your routine because you don’t have enough time, look for opportunities to move throughout the day.
Even a few minutes of purposeful activity can help you stay connected to your fitness goals.
