Golf Strength and Conditioning Workouts
Many golfers think that the best way to keep fit and tone up for the game is to do golf strength and conditioning workouts. Others feel that a general workout is enough and some people do not do any exercise between games at all. The reason for doing a workout specifically tailored towards the needs of golfers is so that you target the muscle groups that you use during the game.
Of course some people play golf to keep fit and so perhaps a more general workout would be more suitable for them as they are probably more interested in working the whole of their body. Whichever of these you agree with it is important to at least do some exercise between games.
It will at least help to protect your body against injury and strain and could even significantly improve the way that you play. Even if you do not have a lot of time on your hands, you could still do some simple stretches or maybe do a workout just occasionally.
It is well worth finding out whether you can attend a class which offers this type of golf strength and conditioning workouts or if you would rather do it in your own home, see if you can find any on video or DVD.
You can probably find examples of exercises on the Internet or in magazines but it is important to watch someone demonstrating how to do them properly as doing an exercise incorrectly can be much worse than not doing it at all as you could end up putting undue strain on certain areas of the body and cause yourself an injury.
If when you are trying something new, it hurts then stop immediately and think through what you were doing and whether you were doing it correctly. If you cannot get a grasp of what you should be doing, then do not attempt that exercise again.
It is also useful if you do the workout on a regular basis. The more that you do it, the stronger your muscles will become and you will continue to improve when you play the game. You will also find that it becomes part of your daily routine. However, it is also important to get a balance and make sure that you are not over tiring yourself.
If you are not used to doing too much exercise then it may be worth seeing a doctor first and taking things very easy when you begin. You can always go slower than you are supposed to and build up to doing the full routine once you get fitter.
As you do more workouts you should see your game improving and in turn that should encourage you to do more golf strength and conditioning workouts. You do need to be careful not to overdo it and tire yourself out as that will not help your game.
This is usually not a problem for most golfers as they are typically lazy anyways, so it’s a “non” issue.

Exercises to increase flexibility in core muscles and legs.?
I am wanting to take my game to the next level. I was looking to see if anyone had any good stretches that will improve my flexibility in my core muscles(hips, back, abs, and shoulders) and in my legs.
I know that increasing flexibility in the core muscles will allow for more club head speen and increasing flexibility will keep me balanced and in good posture.
So if you know any good golf stretches off the top of your head or know a good website that has alot of golf stretches to improve my core muscles and leg muscles please tell me.
Also, please dont put DVD’s. I am only 14 and I wont buy a DVD.
THanks for any info!!!!
Try doing some yoga. The cobra pose is great for stretching out your core muscles and so are a lot of the lunges that they do in yoga. I have found that a lot of the twist poses have helped me gain distance as well. Here is a great site that shows how to do them:
