37-min Work Out Like a Tour Player-Golf-Specific Workout

In this new workout, we take you through a battery of exercises that tour professionals do to gain flexibility, mobility, strength and stability.

Modern day golf professionals spend their off-season, not only working on the swing technique, but also their strength, flexibility, endurance and stability.

One expert studied the schedules of professionals golfers and outlined the following schedule to illustrate how they spend their time.

Golf Training 6 days a week:

• Golf technique-including lessons
• Long game practice
• Short game practice
• On-course practice

Fitness Training 4 days a week:

• Strength
• Mobility/Flexibility
• Endurance/Cardio
• Stability/Power

 Breakdown of an off-season week:

12 hours – on-course practice

8 hours – long game

8 hours – short game

8 hours – putting

4 hours – golf-fitness (mobility, strength, power, etc)

= 40 hours

Professional golfers know the importance of athletic development for golf. As a recreational golfer, you may not have the time to train like an elite athlete, but by simply adding a few swing drills into your daily routine, you can dramatically improve your game.

37-min Work Out Like a Tour Player-Golf-Specific Workout

This workout is a typical circuit that tour professionals do to gain flexibility, mobility, strength and stability.

Many of the exercises are to create dissociation between the upper and lower body. Dissociation is the ability to move (rotate) the upper body separately from the lower body. This ability is the key to properly sequence the golf swing.

By doing dissociation exercises, you will improve your ability to simultaneously rotate your upper torso over a stable lower body on the backswing and then keep the upper body stable as the lower body rotates on the downswing.

Assess your own ability to separate the upper body from the lower body

This test measures the overall flexibility between your upper and lower body, along with your core stability. Having good separation between your upper and lower body facilitates greater speed and power in your golf swing. Limited separation can result in a number of swing faults including too much lateral movement (sway or slide) and loss of posture.
