Golf Workouts

So what should be the focus of your golf workouts?  Should you buy a bunch of rubber tubing, exercise balls and vinyl covered dumbbells?  Well it depends.  If your goal is to just go through the motions, and say that you are trying to improve your golf game then by all means.  However, if you want to improve your overall strength, flexibility and lower your score then you are going to have to actually do some work.

Obviously there are more factors to lowering your score than that.  However, improving these qualities not only will carry over to the course, but will improve your quality of life.

What’s the #1 thing that golfer’s want to do?  Hit the ball farther.  So how do you do that?  Simple answer: swing the club faster.  I have mentioned it before but, hitting a ball 1 mph faster can translate into 5 yards of extra distance.  So how much do you think 3-5 mph of club head speed would increase your distance?

It is only logical that if you assume consistent swing technique, that a stronger golfer will hit the ball farther than a weaker golfer.  So why do golfers continue to do body weight, rubber tubing, vinyl covered weight workouts?

Does this mean you have to become a gym rat, and train 6 times a week.  Not at all.  It does not require an extreme commitment to strengthen your game, and increase your level of golf fitness.  Luckily for you, there is a program called “Golf Fitness Challenge”.  It will help you build a better body and a better game in 6 weeks flat.   This program combines strength training, interval cardio and nutrition.  This program was put together by two of the foremost experts golf fitness and fat loss.

Exercises For Golfers

by admin on September 11, 2011

So what are some good exercises for golf workouts?  Honestly, I hate the term “sport specific”.  So many of the things you see recommended for golf workouts are gimmicks.  If you are serious about golf, then your workouts should be made up of solid exercise choices.  Golfers are athletes, and should engage in regular strength training sessions.  Golfers should work on the bigger muscle groups, using compound movements.  Squats, Deadlifts, Benches, Military Presses should be staples of your golf workouts.  Increasing you absolute strength will carry over to your strength on the course.

Having said that, golf is a rotational sport.  There are exercises for golfers that aren’t necessarily sport specific, but will increase your rotational strength and speed.

Best Exercises For Golf Workouts

  1. Barbell Russian Twists
  2. Medicine Ball Rotations
  3. Tornado Ball

Golf WorkoutsBarbell Russian Twists:  To set this exercise up wedge one end of a barbell into the corner and get underneath the other end.  Load the end that you are holding onto with a fairly light weight to start.  With the barbell held in both hands, extend your arms out in front. Your hands should be at about eye level. From here, you’re going to drop the bar towards one hip, keeping your arms extended and eyes straight ahead. The rotation should come from the upper spine, not the lower back, so focus on keeping your belly button straight ahead also. From the bottom position, rotate back to the starting position and then rotate to the other side.

Golf WorkoutsMedicine Ball Rotational Throws:  Using a medicine ball between 5-10lbs, take a shoulder width stance with your feet perpendicular to the wall.  Hold the ball in both hands at waist level.  Rotate shoulders, arms, trunk and head away from the wall as far as possible then immediately twist back the opposite direction and explosively throw the ball.  Catch the ball as it bounces back, and repeat the motion.  After doing 10-15 reps on one side, switch to the other side.

Golf WorkoutsTornado Ball: Basically a tornado ball is a medicine ball with a rope attached for doing rotational work.  For instructions on how to make a tornado ball >CLICK HERE< Once you have your tornado ball, stand only a few inches away from a wall.  Facing away from the wall, swing the ball to the right until it hits the wall.  Instantly rotate in the opposite direction until the ball hits the wall.  Do these in continuous motion, and do them for time.  30 secs is a good work interval.

BONUS: Slosh Pipe:  A slosh pipe is simply a 9ft. piece of PVC, filled with 30-40lbs of water, and capped on both ends.  Because the water only occupies half of the pipe it “sloshes” back and forth whenever you try to move it.  This makes it a killer core workout.  Simply holding a slosh pipe has been described as “like wrestling a snake”.  How to make a slosh pipe >CLICK HERE<

There you have it.  A collection of great exercises for golfers.  Add them to your golf workouts, and your strength and flexibility will dramatically improve.  That improvement will have a direct carry over to the course in the form of greater swing speed and distance.

It’s obvious that today’s athletes are bigger, stronger, and faster.  And that has even carried over to the golf world.  The golf technology continues to increase, and golf courses have continued to get longer to defend themselves.  Never before has such a premium been placed on distance.  If you are here, chances are you are [...]
