- Swing some clubs - Golf will get you walking and swinging, so you get a great overall workout. If you don’t have access to a set of golf clubs, you can rent at the golf course.

Driving ranges offer low cost buckets of balls so you can practice your swing. http://calgary.foundlocally.com/Sports/Rec-GolfCourses.htm
