Worst Golf Exercises for Your Game… and Body

It’s no secret - I’m not a big fan of traditional ‘gym’ workouts for golfers. As a matter of fact - I think it’s downright foolish for the typical golfer to be lifting weights and pumping up on all the machines to try and enhance his/her golf performance…

The main exercises you need to focus on are stretching and flexibility exercises (first and foremost) - and then core conditioning exercises on top of that foundation of flexibility…

Then you can plug in some cardio and balance training…

Most of what I just mentioned can be done VERY effectively with bodyweight exercises…

Throw in some good resistance bands, a nice floor mat, a 55 or 65cm exercise ball, maybe a medicine ball, and possibly even some very light dumbbells - and you have everything you need for some serious golf performance enhancement - as well as a smart, all around, well balanced fitness program for all areas of your life - even in the bedroom (cause that score counts too ya know…)…

With all that being said - I know there are still some golfers out there who are going to still ‘hit the gym’ and do what everyone else is doing… So - if this sounds like you here are a few body and game destroying exercises I would advise you to drop from your program:

• 1 - Lat Pulldown Behind the Neck
• 2 - Shoulder Press from Behind the Head
• 3 - Deadlifts
• 4 - Traditional Bench Press
• 5 - Wide Dumbbell Flyes

Those are just a few potential game and body killers - and there are more - but I don’t want to overwhelm you…
