“Take Care of Your Lower Back”: Nelly Korda Leaves Fans Spellbound With Her ‘Vacation’ Workout

Work hard. ‘Slay’ harder. That seems to be the mantra Nelly Korda is following. The LPGA tour is on a break, but not Korda. The 2021 KPMG Women’s PGA Championship winner recently broke her winless streak at the LPGA Drive-On Championship, holding off Lydia Ko in a thrilling playoff in her hometown. But the Bradenton resident is relentless, as a glimpse into her ‘break’ shows. 

Korda was grinding hard at the gym, keeping herself pumped for February 22, when the LPGA Tour returns to action in Thailand. The 25-year-old’s strength training and core muscle exercises have also left the netizens awestruck, who couldn’t help but marvel at the dedication of the former World No. 1. 

Korda has turned on the ‘beast mode’

Nelly Korda is vacationing in Prague, the beautiful city where she scored her first title. But even while vacationing, Korda hasn’t lost her focus. Korda posted a training montage and captioned, “Snippets of the past two weeks in 🇨🇿 training @vistaresortprague with the best.” 

The nine-time LPGA Tour winner started her workout with a few minutes (and miles) on the treadmill. Behind-the-neck press soon followed, throwing some hint behind her elegant and powerful swing. Korda crushes an average of 268.978 yards drive on the LPGA Tour, which ranks her 14th in the female circuit.

Next in line are Bulgarian split squats, core muscle workouts for abs, and dumbbell rows for a stronger lower back. Her lower back has troubled the 25-year-old for a long time. In 2020, the Florida native missed five weeks on the Tour for back pain. Last year as well, Nelly Korda had to take a few weeks off because of a niggling back injury.

Nevertheless, fans showered love on their LPGA icon. The fact that she is at it even while vacationing impressed the netizens, who believed this was the ultimate sign of greatness to come. 

Nelly Korda is the ultimate winner of hearts

Netizens were impressed with her work ethic and sincerity in the game. One user commented, “You absolutely crush everything you do! So impressed with your work ethic and perseverance.” Another user hoped that this was going to be Korda’s year. “Keep putting in the work. You’re primed for a good year. Stay strong, healthy, and positive.”

Keeping in mind her lower back issues, one user wrote, “Great work. Please take care of your lower back.” Some of them were curious about her attire. One fan asked, “What running shoes are you using on the treadmill?” Nelly Korda is a Nike brand ambassador, having etched a deal only last year.

It was not clear what shoe she was wearing at the gym, but on the course, the one-time Major winner sports Nike Air Jordan 1 Low G NRGs. Interestingly, Nelly Korda was wearing glasses, which made some folks on the Internet curious. One of them asked, “Cute glasses. Do you wear contacts during tournaments?”

One superfan compared the LPGA Icon with Rocky Balboa. “Is this a training montage? I think it is. You know who else had a training montage? Rocky Balboa,” wrote the Instagram user. Nelly Korda looks pumped to carry the early momentum as the season progresses in the early Asia swing.
