If you are a golfer and you’ve stepped onto the first tee without any golf exercise preparation at all, you might be setting yourself up for a myriad of problems. Your game and your body will suffer if you aren’t mentally and physically prepared. These days, professional golfers are real, true athletes. They work out, have trainers, coaches, and a posse of people to keep them in tip top shape and provide them the tools for an improve golf swing. There are simple stretching exercises in a golf exercise workout you can do to get you ready for a round of golf.

In a big golf swing, there are many positions the body passes through including rotation, forward flexion, and extension. Warming up these movements before you swing is a great way to start your golf exercise off right.

Hold a dumbbell or kettlebell in both hands. Bend your knees, pitch forward a bit and slowly swing the weight right and left causing easy rotation of your spine. Try not to strain your lower back by bending too far forward or holding too heavy a weight. Keep your abs held tight for support.

For more upper body strength, try exercises using an Xertube. These versatile products come in different weights and can produce effective resistance without the dead weight of free weights and they pack up easily when on the road.

For more core strength, practice your golf swing while standing on a BOSU or balance pad. The instability of these balance products can increase your effectiveness on the tee because if you can perform a good swing while off balance, you will have a great swing when on steady ground.

FITNESS TIPS: Whatever method you choose, preparing at home can mean the difference between a good round and a great one. Step up your warm up before you step up on the tee and make golf exercise part of your scorecard.
