"PinterestFacebookIt&amp;#39;s been a long time since I went golfing. I took lessons when I was young then played around with the sport a bit in college. But since then, I haven&amp;#39;t stepped foot on a course, until last weekend. Could it qualify as a workout? I didn&amp;#39;t think so, but guys, the next day, I couldn&amp;#39;t believe how sore my muscles were!\n****I&amp;#39;ve always thought of golf as light exercise, and in a sense, it is. You&amp;#39;re not breaking a steady sweat, and it&amp;#39;s certainly not like going on a jog or suffering through spinning class. But I went golfing with my husband, Jason, (a golf addict who&amp;#39;s been begging me to join him on the course for years now) on Saturday, and I&amp;#39;m here to tell you: It kicked my butt!\nI was feeling pretty great for the first two holes, then by the third, I started feeling zapped of energy. It was a combination of lots of walking, the hot sun, bending down to pick up my ball constantly (yes, it did take me about 15 hits to get it to to the green on one hole, don&amp;#39;t laugh), and whiffing lots of shots--I was beat!\nOf course, we carried on to the last hole, where I slumped over on a bench. I didn&amp;#39;t remember golf being this taxing. Then, the next day, I woke up with sore arms and legs (the good sore!). Golf, I decided, is sneaky!\nWould I go golfing again? Yes! But it&amp;#39;s so long and drawn out (9 holes takes several hours and 18 takes even more) that I just can&amp;#39;t see going a lot, since 45 minutes of running and 60 minutes of yoga can get me where I need to be.\nP.S. I was the only woman on the course the day we went, a fact I thought was odd! Where are all the female golfers?\nP.P.S. Want to know what I wore golfing? (I, admittedly, spent way to long thinking about appropriate golf attire.) I ended up choosing a comfortable khaki skirt and a lightweight knit cardigan, going for the sporty-preppy look. Oh, and since I didn&amp;#39;t have golf shoes, I wore my Reebok EasyTone sneakers, in effort to maximize my workout.\n__Do you go golfing? If not, are you interested in trying?\n__\nMore fun workouts:\nRollerblading (I will forever be a fan)\nTracey from Slaves to Fashion recently wrote about a workout she says was the most fun ever!\nHow about dancing?
