Hannah Gregg is a successful golf player and influencer, known for sharing her golfing journey and fitness tips with her followers. In August, she posted a video on Instagram showing herself working on her swing with the help of GolfTec technology. Gregg captioned the post, “Golf is CRAZY bc I think I’m swinging it one way, and then I look at the video and it’s actually the complete opposite 🥲.” From golf to strength training, here’s how Gregg stays in shape and takes care of her health.
1. She Golfs
Golf is the main way Gregg stays in shape. The sport has a lot of health benefits. Circle Health Group states, “Golf is not a high-energy sport, but that doesn’t mean it can’t help towards weight loss. You might not feel like you’re getting an intense workout, but all that swinging and putting, plus walking an 18-hole course, really does add up. On a typical round, you’ll be almost constantly moving. This sustained activity keeps your heart rate up and at an optimum level for burning calories. But remember, you won’t feel the same benefit if you opt for a buggy.”
2. She Screens For Skin Cancer
Gregg makes sure to stay healthy. Since she’s outside so much, one thing she does is screen for skin cancer. Gregg shared this video on Instagram of herself doing so, and talked about the importance of this in the caption. “Skin Cancer Check Complete! ✅Did you know 1 of 4 golfers have been diagnosed with skin cancer, and the risk of skin cancer was 2.5x higher among golfers in a recent study than the general population!?”
3. She Uses Weights
Gregg shared some of her go-to exercises in this Instagram video. In it, she is seen using weights to do different exercises. According to The Mayo Clinic, using weights has a lot of health benefits. “By stressing your bones, strength training can increase bone density and reduce the risk of osteoporosis. Strength training can help you manage or lose weight, and it can increase your metabolism to help you burn more calories.”
4. She Does Squats

Gregg likes to do squats to stay in shape. In the previous Instagram video, she is seen doing them. Piedmont reports that squats have a lot of health benefits. “Whether you’re hoping to tone your muscles, strengthen your core or just improve overall health, squats are one of the best exercises you can do… Squats are a compound, multi-joint movement, which means they exercise several muscle groups. When you perform a squat, you work your calves, quads, hamstrings, glutes, core and part of your back.”
5. She Does Lunges

Gregg is also seen doing lunges in the previous Instagram video. Lunges are a great exercise. ACE Fitness states, “Lunges work the biggest muscles in your lower body — mainly the quadriceps, gluteus maximus, and the adductor magnus (the muscle in your inner thigh). Other muscles that come into play are the hamstrings, gluteus medius, calves, and core stabilizers, says Susane Pata, content strategist for the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) and NASM-certified personal trainer based in Miami.”
