Like you, I am “trapped” inside my own home and have had to explore new options for exercise. I’ve settled on living room Zumba – it’s fun and fits in a small space. Whenever I am making the transition from winter into golf season, I am conscious of the need to awaken certain body parts … Continue reading Home Zumba as Golf Prep
How many times have you heard that one? But what does it mean, and how do I put it into action?
