Golf Fitness Over 40 & Cholesterol Belly – The Gut Truth No One Talks About

10 mins a day can change a life

You Took the Meds. So… Why’s Your Swing Still Stiff?

That hard, heavy gut over your belt? It’s not “just age” or “a few beers.” It’s visceral fat — the kind that wraps around your organs, builds pressure, and tightens everything from the inside out. And it’s killing your rotation.

🔴 You can have a perfect blood score and still be carrying dangerous internal fat . That’s straight from the Cleveland Clinic, not just me saying it.

So let’s stop pretending a core workout or a new swing tip is going to fix this.

Because if your gut’s pressing outwards, no amount of crunches is going to save your backswing.

Mobility = strength and flexibility in balance

How Cholesterol Affects Your Swing - Golf Fitness Over 40

This kind of fat hardens in the midsection, not under the skin, but deep inside. And once it starts to build, here’s what you’ll feel:

• 🔺 Rotational loss — your turn shortens, your follow-through stalls

• 🔺 Compressed breath — tight diaphragm = less energy on the course

• 🔺 Posture collapse — belly pushes forward, hips can’t stabilise, back stiffens

You’ve likely already noticed it. You just didn’t realise what was causing it.

Your trousers sliding down mid-round, your back tightening up by the 12th, or feeling completely spent by the 16th — it’s not bad luck or poor conditioning. It’s internal pressure.

This visual shows how hidden internal fat—linked to high cholesterol—compresses your diaphragm, restricts rotation, and throws off posture. It’s not just about fitness. It’s pressure from the inside out

Core Work Won’t Fix This (Here’s What Will)

You can’t plank your way out of visceral fat. You need a method that addresses the internal bracing pattern, not just superficial strength.

What actually works:

• ✅ Deep core activation, not six-pack training

• ✅ Rotational mobility to free the midsection without flaring up the spine

• ✅ Pressure relief work that opens up the gut and resets breath

This is the foundation of the mobility programs I teach. And most clients feel a shift in their first session, not in weeks, in minutes.

Want to Test It?

I’ve put together a short 8-minute mobility session — the same one I give new clients — to help you feel what’s really going on under the surface.

🎯 Try it now — no fluff, no nonsense.👉 Watch the Free Intro Session

You’ll know within minutes if this is the fix your body’s been waiting for.

Ready for a Proper Fix?

If that session hits home — and you’re ready to solve this properly — don’t wait for another round to feel worse.
