PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL--(Marketwire -05/10/12)- Warm weather has arrived, and that means it's time to get outside, get active and get healthy. May is National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, and The PGA of America is encouraging people nationwide to hit the links for fun, relaxing and enjoyable exercise. And since May is also Welcome to Golf Month, there are opportunities nationwide to enroll in free introductory programs and classes that can get a person on the way to a healthier lifestyle and a life-long interest in the game of golf.

"Golf will help you feel great, decrease your stress and improve your overall fitness," said Donna Richardson Joyner, a celebrity fitness expert, member of the President's Council on Fitness, Sports and Nutrition and avid golfer. "In addition, golf allows you to enjoy a balanced lifestyle, enjoy nature and allows you to spend quality time with your family, friends and colleagues."

Health and fitness experts advocate that taking 10,000 steps a day -- the equivalent of walking 18 holes -- improves overall fitness and helps with weight control. The game has numerous other mental and physical health benefits, including:

"The best thing about golf as exercise is that it doesn't feel like you're exercising. Walking 18 holes through beautiful scenery is a fun, moderate exercise that people of all ages can enjoy," said David Donatucci, director of fitness for The PGA of America.

In addition to promoting the game as great exercise, Play Golf America has launched the new "PGA Fitness Trail" on PlayGolfAmerica.com. This feature includes stretches and healthy nutritional tips that can be integrated into a round of golf to enhance your fitness experience and benefit your golf game.
