No secret, I don’t like traditional gym-type workouts for golfers. It’s absurd for a typical golfer lift weights to improve his game.
Stretching and flexibility are the most important exercises to do. Core conditioning is a great way to add flexibility.
Next, you might consider adding in cardiovascular or balance training.
Most of my points can be achieved with the help of body-weight exercises.
Add some great resistance bands, an exercise ball or swiss ball (55cm, 65cm), a floor mat and maybe some dumbbells (5, 8, and 10). You have all you need to play better golf.This is what you should do.
All that said, I do know there are some golfers who will still go to the gym and follow what everyone else does. If this is you, here are some exercises that will destroy your body and make you lose your game.
* 1 – Lat Pulldowns Behind the Neck/Head
* 2 – Shoulder Presses from Behind the Head/Neck
* 3 – Stiff Legged Dead-lifts
* 4 – Traditional Bench Presses
* 5 – Wide Dumbbell Flyes or Regular Cable Cross Flyes
These are only a few of the potential body and game killers. There are many more, but I’m not going to bore you. It is important to remember that you as a golfer must consider your sport, and the way that it affects your body.
Different from any other sport, golf demands a combination of power, flexibility and endurance.
You should use full body flexibility for your base, then core conditioning and finally golf endurance.
You can combine each element consistently, and friends will be interested in knowing. “what you’ve been doing”
