I have developed a golf fitness system called Cardiogolf. It is a program to help people develop endurance, strength, flexibility and balance specific to golf. 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 I recommend using resistance bands instead.
Available at sporting good stores, resistance bands stretch your joints and tendons while strengthening your muscles. Strength along with flexibility is the combination you are looking for to increase clubhead speed for greater distance.
If you are just starting to exercise, begin with a low resistance band and increase the resistance as you gain strength. Attached is a simple routine using a stretch band that will not only warm you up before play or practice, but can help you build strength and flexibility.
5:59KPJ Golf Fitness Challenge-
Join me as I do something every day to improve my fitness to play better golf. I always tell my students that it is better to do some movement every day, even if it is just for a few moments, than to wait for the days where you have an hour or two to workout. Those days hardly ever happen.
Coming Soon-Cardiogolf-The Core Workout
In my new Cardiogolf DVD, I focus on core exercises specific to golf.
You know you need to exercise for better health, so why not practice your golf swing at the same time. Cardiogolf-The Core Workout will be available in July.
