Do you have 30 seconds? Then you have time to work on your golf and fitness! A new study shows that short bursts of exercise has been found to be as equally beneficial as concentrated regular activity if it adds up to the total recommended amount for the week, and it can even reduce the risk of death, as published in the Journal of the American Heart Association.

So now you have no excuses. Everyone can find a minute here and there to do exercise! In my opinion, daily practice is the key to success towards any goal.  Making 10 practice swings a day or exercising  for 5 minutes everyday will get you playing better and in better shape than exercising or practicing for two or three hours at a time, once a week or month. First of all, it is always hard to find big chunks of time to do massive workouts or beat balls on the driving range for hours.  Secondly, the long workouts and practice sessions usually lead to fatigued swings, injuries and ingrained bad habits.

There is something to be said about the momentum of taking small daily steps towards a goal that is cumulatively better than taking big steps with less frequency.

Strength training exercises, important for increasing muscle strength and bone mass, require the addition of weight or resistance to challenge the muscles. But I feel that free weights and machines can leave a golfer tight in the shoulders and chest, so if you are just starting to exercise, I  recommend you do exercises without weights, but still have some resistance.  This is a perfect example of one of those exercises that can help improve strength without using weights.

Resistance Golf Swing Drill

This is an isometric exercise which will contract your muscles because you are pushing the back of your hands together creating resistance. The main benefit of isometric exercise is that it doesn’t put any stress on joints.

• Stand in a golf stance.
• Stretch your front arm long and then put the back of you back hand (right hand for a right-handed golfer) against your front hand.
• Create resistance by pushing the back of your hands together.
• Keep the resistance as you make practice swings.
• Start off slowly, then pick up the pace and increase the speed.
• Do 8 to 10 repetitions.
