The Fitness
Approach to
Power Golf
John Carrido implements life-changing workouts for local golfersBack problems of all different varieties
plague athletes of any age,
but particularly those over the
age of 40. A lack of ability to rotate
hips, turn shoulders, or even bend over
to pick up the golf ball can leave older
players discouraged.
Enter local fitness guru John Carrido
— a fitness expert for more than 30 years
— who knows the body. If he didn’t, he
wouldn’t have won Mr. Orange County,
Mr. California, and placed top-ten in the
Mr. America competition in a four-year
span. On top of that, he’s also a singledigit
(3) handicap.
Though 1986 is long behind Carrido,
his knowledge of the human body
in regards to the golf swing is overbounding.
After obtaining his degree
in Exercise Physiology from California
State University - Long Beach, Carrido
applied his knowledge to golf. He founded
Bodies by Carrido, Inc. in 1985,
published a book titled The Fitness
Approach to Power Golf in 1997, and
has been changing lives ever since.
