How To Improve Your Game With

Simple Golf Exercises





Winter is upon us and you have more time, since youre not golfingso why not get a jump

on next season by doing some simple, in-home golf exercises that will quickly prepare

your body to hit LONGER drives and shoot LOWER scores?

How many times have you started a new golf season with very high scores, short drives,

and aches and pains? Am I talking to you? Lets be honest. It happens more times than

youd like. But why not do it different this time? Instead of going into deep depression

that the season is over keep golf in the top of your mind by starting a golf exercise

program.

Dont let your clubs get dusty and forget about your game. Prepare your body in

anticipation of next spring. Its no fun to come off the course feeling spent (in more ways

than one) when you could have energy to spare. You have between 4-6 months to greatly

improve your strength, flexibility and stamina. It would be the wisest thing to do to

improve your golf for next season.

When you begin the season with a broken body, youre taking two steps back. Take a leap

forward and prepare your body by getting your golf exercise program in motion. Think of

it this way. What a great opportunity to get the edge on your playing partners and win all

the money. Wouldnt that get their goat?

Finally, youll get the chance to redeem yourself from a previous season that found you

paying out more than receiving and being the brunt of all jokes in the clubhouse after

every round. Weve all been there - but no longer right? This is the winter to make the

commitment and do it! No excuses. No more reasons to put it off. You may realize its not

easy but nothing worth getting is easy.

Golf exercise is a very popular topic these days among all the pros, teachers and even

amateurs. Its no secret that if you get your body fitter, stronger and more flexible you

will swing better and hit longer drives that produce lower scores.

Thats what we all want right? What a feeling to be the longest (and straightest) hitter in

your group. Always hitting your approach shot last because you were the furthest down

the fairway. Those are the kinds of thoughts you should have this winter while youre

working out.

The simplist way to implement golf exercises is to look at the golf swing. First off, its

standing on your feet. Not sitting down, like on a machine in your local gym. So try to do

most of your exercises on your feet.

Secondly, you should be in your golf posture. Which is a bend forward at the hips, with

your knees slightly flexed. Doing exercises in this position will create a very strong,

stable golf swing.

A good example of a golf exercise would be the Golf Posture Lateral Raise:

?

? Bend forward at hips just beyond normal golf posture.

? Hold dumbbells in front of your thighs, palms facing each other.

? Slowly raise dumbbell to the side and up.

? Slowly bring back down to pre-stretch position.

Do you see how this would quickly build up the strength in the back of your shoulders

for a strong take-away and downswing? The only equipment required was a pair of

dumbbells (hand weights), which probably cost about $10. No fancy gym. And in the

convenience of your home.

This is just one example of a simple golf exercise you can do quickly and conveniently

in your home to dramatically transform your game!
