Total Conditioning and Golf Exercises

Get ready to enhance your performance with golf exercises!

With a comprehensive exercise program that breaks down the mechanics of a good swing you’ll have better balance, you won’t feel strains, you’ll make more solid contact shots, build better swing mechanics, and make your drive longer.

You’ll need to warm-up before you play. It should include a little aerobic activity, some stretching, a little work at the range and some focused work on chipping and putting. This way you’ll be able to play at hole number 1 instead of hole 10.

The Golf Exercises Brokendown:

-10-20 minute warm-up (walking/jogging)
-Swing Reaction exercises
-4 specific muscle stretches
-Perform a few shots with the club to prepare muscles to manage the demands of your swing.

GOLF SWING REACTION SYSTEM (There are 18 ideal to practice and break up the swing, but we’ll highlight 4 of them) Use a light dumbbell when practicing these golf exercises the weeks before you play or during the warm-up.

1. The Golfer’s Dance

Warms up the ankles and hips and teaches weight shifting.

Technique: Stand with feet hip width distance apart. Shift your weight side to side with loose hips (like you’ve had a shot of tequila folks!)

2. Punches

Warms up the trunk, hips and shoulders, and increases the range of motion.

Technique: Think boxing. Punch right and left, feet firmly standing widely apart (with soft knees).

3. Golf Lunge

Activates the butt and thighs.

Technique: Stand at center, imagine you’re at the center of a clock. Step out 2:00 with the right leg, step 10:00 with the left.

4. Knee machine

Isolates the quads while teaching the knee to move in the right plane. It improves the leg drive to the target on the right side and helps the left knee learn to point behind the ball on the take away.

Technique: Stand with feet wider than shoulder width apart. Turn one knee in and take a dip, perform on other side.
