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.

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.

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.

Your numbers might look fine on paper.
