Fitness training for golf does not have to be hard, straining or take up a lot of your time to improve your golf swing...
I want you to really grasp the above statement. I want to dispel the myth that you have to become a gym rat to succeed in golf. In fact, training programs for golf fitness can be right in your home with minimal equipment!
Fitness Equipment For Golf Training
All you need is an inexpensive golf exercise ball, golf exercise tubing and a pair of dumbbells (free weights). This will cost you a whopping $60 to create your in home fitness gym. handweights.
If you do the math correctly, this is probably the same dollar amount as one month in a fitness club membership. As you can see...you will be saving money from the getgo!
Simple Golf Exercises
When most people think of fitness or exercise programs, they invision hard work, sweating, grunting and spending half your day doing it. Wrong! I have shown golfers they can do simple exercises (specific to golf) in less than 10 minutes a day that will make a huge difference in their golf swing!
These exercises have got to be specific to your swing though! If they are not, your game could get worse not better. Here that again! If these simple exercises are not specific to your golf swing, you can make your situation worse.
The exercises I want you to do are with light dumbbells, exercise tubing, stability ball and maybe a weighted medicine ball if you want to challenge yourself. Any golfer, no matter age or ability can do all of these exercises. Age is NOT a factor! That is the main reason I put together my golf training system. So anybody can do it!
Easy Golf Stretches
Training your body with easy golf stretches is a breeze. My golf stretching dvd incorporates ONLY 7 minutes per day! If you can't do that, then golf improvement isn't that important to you!
My approach to stretching is more consistency than effort. If I can get you to do this 7 minute flexibility routine 3-4 days a week I am thrilled! You WILL see results with this little amount.
Get Fit For Golf
I hope you now realize getting fit for golf is not intimidating, nor is it a real effort. I use to be hardcore with my personal clients and members of my fitness training site, but have come to the conclusion golfers don't want to spend a lot of time on fitness. I've matured and am okay with that!
Time is precious! If I can get you to do 7-10 minutes of concise fitness training for golf, you WILL see results!
