GolFit: When Golf Meets Fitness
Here at Alpin Luxe, we’re thrilled to have the expertise of Nicole Cavarra, LPGA Certified Golf Instructor. Among her long list of credentials is the founding of GolFit–a unique wellness concept that combines the principles of Golf and Fitness. She specializes in bringing together the mental and physical aspects of movement to create a healthy and balanced life.
We invited her to tell you a little bit more about the golf/fitness connection, and why it even matters to you!
Building a Strong Foundation
Golf is both an athletic and a mindful game, and so is the golf swing. The mechanics of the swing require the same simple motions and sequence of events you’ve learned to perform all your life. Basic foundational movements such as the motions involved in throwing a ball, swinging a baseball or softball bat, executing a forehand in tennis, gymnastics, swimming, doing yardwork or housework and even lifting your children off the ground.
When your body moves correctly in your swing, it makes it easier and more consistent for you to create proper swing mechanics such as club path, plane, face angle and angle of attack. You will also generate more power and distance because you are moving more efficiently and creating more leverage and force.
But Technique is just the beginning.
It's a Mental Game
When you book an excursion with Alpin Luxe, you will meet us on an incredible adventure where we will all arrive with different backgrounds, abilities, body potential and ideas! And that’s just how we all show up to swing a golf club … so many different thoughts, pasts, emotions and intentions with which we swing the club. Golf mechanics alone can only teach you just that, the swing mechanics. But it goes beyond that. The swing mechanics we have all been learning and practicing for hundreds of years hold true and these principles need to be maximized through intention in the swing in order for one to reach their fullest potential.
The easiest way to find success and consistency with these principles is by playing this game as athletically and naturally as possible – allowing the body and mind to do what they already know how to do. Creating the proper athletic and natural motions with your body, by creating and understanding the proper intentions in your mind, is what GOLFit and Nicole Cavarra will help you do on your trip. What better places to do this than those that represent the epitome of health and wellness – European spa resorts!
Balance is Key
Health and fitness are two of the most important ways you can add balance to your life and help you feel and perform your best. That is why they are also an integral part of what you will learn when book one of our extraordinary trips. Start with the mindset that you are commencing on a new adventure, in a new and alluring place, and the same will hold true for the way we hope you learn to play golf!
