Strength, flexibility, coordination and balance will help golfers of all levels play their best golf. Choosing what exercises to do to change your swing faults and to strengthen your weaknesses are the key to dramatically improving your game. However, with a number exercises and routines to choose from plus other compounding factors such lack of time and money, there are a few things to consider:

1. Effective routines will be those types that you can easily perform and stick with for a longer period of time. Avoid complicated, time consuming routines.  Golf fitness is about finding the right balance of exercise, practice and play.  You can dramatically improve your game with just a few exercises a day. No need to spend hours in the gym.

2. Choose routines that can be performed in your home or at your gym where you are already a member. There is no need to join expensive specialized gyms or buy bulky expensive equipment. Most of the golf specific routines that I demonstrate can be done with minimal equipment and in the comfort of your own home.

3. Choose routines that are safe and effective for your particular needs.  Avoid unsafe exercises and routines that will make you so sore that you abandon them only after a few days.  Golf fitness is a lifestyle, you will want to choose exercises that can not only help your golf game, but help keep you in shape and healthy for life.

KPJ’s Teaching Philosophy-

I focus on teaching my students the fundamentals of the swing.  I try not to get too technical or position oriented.  I think a golf swing is about getting the clubface square at impact with rhythm and tempo. I try to adjust my instruction to the ability, interests and motivations of the player I am teaching.

Together we will spend time developing an appropriate approach for them to play the game and help them set and achieve short and long terms goals.
