A great way to challenge stability and mobility

Looking for a post workout challenge? Try this!
There is nothing I love more than finding fun and creative ways to finish a workout. It’s the perfect time to get some mental and physical work done, the kind that will translate when you’re on the 16th hole of a tournament and the nervous system is taxed. So at the end of a workout,…

Warm Up Wednesday: Challenge your balance!
