Golf

Golf can be both a leisure activity and a heart healthy form of regular exercise, But, only if you walk the course. Walking the average course for a round of golf can equal as much as four miles. If you do this three to five times a week and carry or your own clubs, you will get an optimum physical workout. Stretching at least three times a week can reduce the risk of strains, sprains and tendonitis in infrequent and older players.
