Mel Reid is celebrating on the green in her workout gear. The golf star recently shared a moment with fellow golfer Celine Boutier after she clinched a win against Lexi Thompson during the 2024 Solheim Cup. Dressed in white shorts and a star-spangled top, Reid, known as one of the fittest golfers in the world, stays in shape through a combination of challenging workouts and balanced priorities. From intense gym sessions to goat yoga, Reid has embraced a holistic approach to fitness and personal well-being. Here’s how she keeps her body and mind sharp while navigating her professional and personal life.

Reid shows off her impressive gym skills in a video for Golf Magazine. Her trainer, Macdonald, was also on hand to explain her intense workout regime. “It’s a 15-minute density set, which means we’re going to do five exercises in a circuit fashion.” Each exercise is done in about one minute.‘What we’re trying to do is get some strength and power but in an endurance fashion,” Macdonald said.

3. She Does Goat Yoga

Goat Yoga has become increasingly popular over the last few years, and Reid has tried out the hot fitness craze in a post captioned “In the presence of greatness. G.O.A.T.” Reid has a goat on her back and is in a yoga pose. According to Arizona Goat Yoga, the out-of-the-ordinary workout has several benefits, including stress release, increased mindfulness, mood enhancement, and a connection to nature and animals.

4. She Has a Strong Communtiy

Reid often travels for work with her wife and their baby, which is challenging, but she explained how they make it work in an interview with LPGA.“The people that have been very welcoming and open to staying with us have made a huge difference,” Mel said. “It gives us a little bit of a break at the end of the day because they want to just hang out with Kai, as well. He is starting to recognize faces. He sees Emily (Kristine Pedersen), and he sees Carlota (Ciganda), and he sees Olly (Brett), and he gravitates to them. I think that's a cool experience, not just for us but for them as well.”

5. Learning Balance and New Priorites

Reid shifted her focus to motherhood when their son was born, and golf is no longer the top priority. “Golf is secondary, if not third, now to be honest with you,” Mel explained in the LPGA interview. “I've always played golf for myself and tried to prove to myself that I can do this. The competitiveness inside of me, it's almost taken that away a little bit. I can have a bad day, and it sucks, but it doesn't suck anywhere near as much as it used to. I have to find that little fire in me again to see what my purpose is on the golf course. That's probably been the biggest challenge for me this year.”

Elise Lobb is a former pageant girl and a current golfer and TV personality. She has a large following on social media. Last month, she shared a stunning photo on Instagram of herself on the course. In it, she wore a black crop top and white skirt. Lobb captioned the post, “Pinning the first comment who can guess this golf course right !!!!” How does she stay so fit? Read on to see 5 ways Elise Lobb stays in shape and the photos that prove they work.

1. She Stretches Her Shouldershttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7UEhP1nK4s&t=11sIn a video for PXG, Lobb shared some of her favorite stretches that help with golf. She makes sure to stretch her shoulders. “So, for this first exercise, all you need is a golf towel. It can be the one in the cart, the one out of your bag, it’s all you need. So, we’re going to stretch the shoulders. We’re going to have one arm down and one arm up, both palms facing the same way. If you want a little extra stretch, you’re going to pull on the towel, standing up nice and tall. And then we will do it the same way on the other side. One arm is up, one arm is down, palms out, pull on the towel if you need a little extra stretch.”She Stretches Her NeckIn her PXG video, Lobb shared her favorite neck stretch. “This last one is actually one of my favorites. It’s a neck stretch. So what we’re going to do is take our ear to our shoulder and gently use that upper hand if you need a little extra stretch. This stretches the trapezius muscle, which is the culprit for all neck pain, so I stretch this one a lot. And then from here, we’re going to tilt the head and drop the chin and gently keep your hand where it is, pressing on that spot. Get a nice little stretch. And if the hand’s too much, you can just do it without putting pressure on it. And we will do other side, and as you’re sitting in the cart. They’re about to walk off, you’re going to hit your next shot, and you’re good to go.”She Works Out Regularlyhttps://www.instagram.com/p/Cdt2adCvdqv/Lobb makes sure to workout on a regular basis. She talked about the importance of this in the caption of this Instagram post. “This is your daily reminder to take care of yourself! ♥️ whether it’s taking a walk outside, playing golf, working out, hitting your 10k steps on your Apple Watch or whatever it might be! 💪🏼 let’s do this !!!”She Boxeshttps://www.instagram.com/p/Bjf-dBbHpL5/One thing Lobb does to stay in shape is box. She shared this video on Instagram of herself sparring in the gym. Lobb captioned the post, “Hitting bombs and throwing bombs! 🥊 Workout today was tough, but I had to burn off the donuts.” The Cleveland Clinic states that boxing has a lot of benefits. “The calories you burn during boxing can help you maintain or achieve a healthy weight. One study compared boxing training versus moderate-intensity walking in people with a body mass index (BMI) of greater than 25 (which is considered having overweight/obesity). The researchers noted reductions in BMI, waist circumference and body fat percentage in the boxing group, while the walking group showed no changes.”She Golfshttps://www.instagram.com/p/C6M8S8Avi4f/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&igsh=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3DGolfing is the main way Lobb stays in shape. According to Keiser University, the sport has a lot of benefits. “Spending time outdoors exposes golfers to natural sunlight, an ideal source of vitamin D. This essential vitamin plays a vital role in maintaining healthy bones, regulating the immune system, and promoting overall well-being. Adequate exposure to sunlight during golf rounds can help the body synthesize vitamin D and keep your body’s immune system operating at optimal levels.”

Nelly Korda, a highly successful golf player, is currently enjoying a trip to Malaysia. She recently shared highlights of her trip on Instagram, where she can be seen on the golf course, at the beach, and relaxing with a coffee. Korda’s posts show her in various workout clothes, offering a glimpse into her lifestyle. Golf remains the primary way she stays in shape, but her approach to fitness goes beyond just the game. Korda focuses on perfecting her technique, grip strength, and impact during practice while incorporating different workouts, like squats and rowing, to stay fit off the course.

1. She Golfs

Golf is the main way Korda stays fit. Better Health states that the sport is very beneficial. “Walking an average course for a round of golf can be between five to seven kilometres. If you walk 18 holes three to five times a week, you’ll get an optimal amount of endurance exercise for your heart. If you pull your clubs or carry them, you’ll burn even more calories each round and benefit even more.”

2. She Focuses On Grip Strength

Korda shared some of the things that she works on when she practices with Golf Monthly. “The first thing you want to check is if you’re gripping it correctly, it makes a huge difference in your swing,” she said. “You could easily be too weak or too strong and it will affect where the face of the club is. So grip is important as well as stance and where your weight is. Once you get those fundamentals all down, it’s so much easier to work on consistency and easier to work on shooting lower numbers.”

3. She Focuses On Impact

Korda also told Golf Monthly that she also focuses on impact when she practices. “I am mainly just working on impact. On the putting green I do a drill because your eye-line and eyesight change every single day. You may see the ball and your line differently every single day, so doing a line drill is really important as you start your putting. Try it for five minutes to make sure you dial in your alignment. Once you do that, then you work on your distance.”

4. She Does Lunge Squats

Korda shared some of her favorite workouts in this Instagram video. One thing she is seen doing is lunge squats with kettlebells. Korda captioned the post, “2 weeks @ home to train. Let’s go!” Squats have a lot of benefits, according to Piedmont. “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 Uses A Rowing Machine

Korda is also seen on a rowing machine in her Instagram video. The Cleveland Clinic states that this has a lot of health benefits. “Your abdominal muscles, lower back, obliques, glutes and hamstrings all get a workout during a session on a rowing machine. If you follow proper form, your core will be engaged during every single step of the rowing process. Strengthening those muscles is also key to maintaining stability and building speed.”

Golf influencer Karin Hart is making waves both on and off the course, where she’s recently shared a video of herself hitting balls in stylish workout gear and her “MGGA” hat, captioned, “Making golf great again 🇺🇸⛳️🫡.” Known for her active lifestyle and dedication to health, Hart combines her passion for golf with a balanced approach to fitness and self-care. A cancer survivor, Hart has a resilient spirit that drives her to maintain a rigorous workout routine, including five sessions a week with Orangetheory, personal training, and running. She also enjoys tennis and long walks with her dog, showing that variety keeps her fitness engaging and enjoyable. Here’s how Hart stays in shape and practices self-care.

1. She Survived Cancer

Hart was diagnosed with Papillary Thyroid Cancer when she was in college, on September 16, 2009. She underwent two surgeries, radioactive iodine treatment, and balanced her thyroid hormones post-thyroidectomy to beat cancer. During treatment, she played lacrosse for her Division I college, competing on her team all 4 seasons, she reveals on her website.

2. 5 Workout Sessions a Week

Karin works out 5 times a week. Her favorites are Orangetheory Fitness, training with her personal trainer, and using the Tone It Up app. According to the Mayo Clinic, strength and weight training help reduce body fat, preserve and increase lean muscle mass, and burn calories more efficiently. Strength training may also help you:

• Develop strong bones
• Manage your weight
• Enhance your quality of life
• Manage chronic conditions
• Sharpen your thinking skills

3. Runs and Walks

She also enjoys going for runs and takes her dog on long walks in downtown St. Pete. According to the Mayo Clinic, running is great for cardiovascular health, muscle building, and weight loss. “For every mile run, the average person will burn approximately 100 calories,” they say. Going for a daily walk can be a game changer in terms of exercise, especially at a brisk speed. One study published in JAMA Internal Medicine found that walking at a brisk pace for about 30 minutes a day led to a reduced risk of heart disease, cancer, dementia and death, compared with walking a similar number of steps but at a slower pace.

4. Tennis

Golf isn’t the only country club sport Karin enjoys. She loves tennis. “How’s my serve? 😜🎾 #tennis #gamesetmatch #tennisbabes,” she captioned a post. According to ACE Fitness it blends together cardio and aerobic exercise, as there is a lot of running around, and hand-eye coordination. "While tennis provides numerous health benefits—improved aerobic fitness and anaerobic endurance, muscular fitness (grip strength and endurance), flexibility, multiple skill parameters (balance, speed, agility and quickness), reactivity, and power—it also is psychologically demanding," they say.

5. Golf

Golf is Karin’s go-to sport. A comprehensive review published in the British Journal of Sports Medicine found that golf's health benefits are extensive, including mind, body, and even lifespan. Benefits include improved longevity, decreased risk of developing heart disease or suffering a stroke, good mental health, and improved strength and balance.

Professional golfer Nelly Korda is showing fans what her training looks like while she’s in Prague. Korda, 25, shared a video of herself wearing a variety of workout gear, lifting heavy weights at the gym under the eye of her trainer. “Snippets of the past two weeks in 🇨🇿 training @vistaresortprague with the best 🤩,” she captioned the post. Korda is a force to be reckoned with on the court and off—here’s how she stays fit and focused.

1. Pre-Round Warm Up Routine

Korda’s pre-round warm up is all about loosening up her muscles well before it’s time to play. It’s more that I’m working on my strike out there. It’s about finding my timing,” she told Golf Monthly. “I typically start about an hour and five minutes before my tee time. I want to make sure my body and muscles are loose. I start off with pitch shots on the range and then I work my way all the way up through my bag.”

2. Sushi and Pizza

Korda loves seafood, and saves pizza for when she’s in the mood to indulge. She especially loves cuisines that have plenty of vegetables and healthy fats. “[My favorite food is] sushi, any Mediterranean food, Greek food,” she told Golf.com. “I don’t really eat pizza too much but that’s probably a cheat food for me that I really like.”

3. Advice For Golfers

Korda has good advice for recreational golfers wanting to know how to best prepare for a round. “I would say go to the course with a routine,” she told Golf Monthly. “I feel like people get really messed up with trying a bunch of different things. If you’re consistent and you have a routine and you stick to that every day you play, you won’t get better right away, but eventually over time you’re going to get better. You can’t make changes and expect to see a result right away. It’s all about consistency.”

4. Playing With her Sister

Korda grew up playing golf with sister Jessica Korda. “We used to play Future Collegians World Tour events back in the day and she won her division and I won my division,” she told Golf.com. “And that was the first time we won the same event.”

5. Golf Drills

Korda has specific drills she never misses. “On the putting green I do a drill because your eye-line and eyesight change every single day,” she told Golf Monthly. “You may see the ball and your line differently every single day, so doing a line drill is really important as you start your putting. Try it for five minutes to make sure you dial in your alignment. Once you do that, then you work on your distance.”
