According to this video on her instagram, LeCroy is a fan of golfing. She playfully captioned the video, “This is the kind of fore play my man likes.” "Before you start your golf stretches, you may want to warm up with five to 10 minutes of light activity, such as walking around the practice tee. If you have time, complete the full series of golf stretches outlined here. Hold each stretch for about 30 seconds. Studies have found performing an individual stretch one time is beneficial, and repeating an individual stretch generally isn't necessary. Do one set of golf stretches every day and another set before and after each round of golf," says the Mayo Clinic.

Also, see if you can talk at this pace at about the five - minute and 10- minute marks," says ACE Fitness.

I’m like, ‘OK, girl. Let’s go.’”
