If youve watched any golf on the television youve no doubt heard the commentators mention golf fitness training. Its no secret that 95 percent of professional golfers are doing some for of golf fitness training.

If there livelihood depends on their performance and they are participating in golf fitness training, why wouldnt amateur golfers do the same?

The golf swing is one of the most physically demanding movements on the human body of all sports.

Swinging a three and a half foot long implement at upwards of 100 mph, while maintaining balance, stabilization and proper swing mechanics is very difficult.

I dont think I have to convince you of that do I?

The only way to be able to accomplish this is by improving the strength AND flexibility of your golf muscles.

Whats the simplest way to do this?

I can tell you not on a machine in your local gym.

Just take a look at the golf swing to realize its on your feet and bent at the waist. How could sitting in a machine help that?

It cant!

Youve got to do as many exercises as possible on your feet, involving balance, coordination, strength and flexibility.

You dont even have to be a golf fitness specialist to come up with some creative exercises on your own.

How about making your golf swing while holding a single handweight? You cant get anymore golf-specific than that.

What about some exercise tubing (thats inexpensive) attached to your door and make your golf swing? Another very golf-specific exercise.

You dont need a gym membership to do any of these and many more golf exercises. Convenience of doing these exercises in your home saves time and money.

There is a lot of information (including books) showing golfers on machines in gyms. Thats not golf-specific, thats general fitness.

If you want to improve your game quickly and easily, try doing these in-home golf exercises. You wont believe how quickly your body will respond and how youll be the LONGEST hitter in your foursome in no-time.
