Did you know you can do easy at home exercises that will dramatically improve your golf swing power, distance, consistency and overall enjoyment of the game? If you’ve been a follower of my articles and this new blog, you’ll know that every exercise I use in all my golf exercise dvds, manual, online membership and ebooks are simple exercises to be done at home, not in a gym.
Exercises With Dumbbells
Dumbbells are one the best pieces of equipment to use in your home to improve your golf swing power and distance. The main reason is the freedom of motion similar to your golf swing. Go to a gym and plop down on a “machine” and your are controlled by the maching in a “non” golf swing movement. Minimal benefit to your golf swing
.
Just take a look at this simple golf dumbbell exercise. Very golf specific and will quickly improve your driving distance and power. Replicating as many movements as you can that are similar to your golf swing will give you the best and quickest results every time!
Exercises With Tubing
I really have a lot of fun with tubing exercises. I’m always coming up with new ones to apply to my training and to my clients and customers
. Tubing is fantastic because you can do so much with it. You can literally make golf swings with it like the picture you see here. I do this one all the time and it’s in my golf exercise manual as well as in my golf fitness dvds.
It is very inexpensive, portable and can be taken with you when you travel. I can get just as good of workout with this tubing than any of the expensive machines in the club.
Exercises With Stability Ball
Here’s another fun piece of exercise equipment I use in my golf exercise program on a daily basis. The stability ball is amazing for challenging your core stabilization and balance which are critical factors in your golf swing.
I can do dozens of golf-specific exercises targeting my core which will add many yards to all your drives. And if you watch out…you might get that “six-pack” back
.
Look at this simple exercise I’m doing on the ball. It is one of the best exercises if you have a bad lower back. Do this a few times and kiss your back problems good-bye!
Exercises With Weighted Medicine Ball
The weighted medicine ball is a very effective training piece for golfers who have exercised regularly. The weight can very between 2 pounds and go as high as 20. This is another core builder for longer drives.
Doing rotational exercises with the med ball will improve both your core rotational flexibility AND strengthen enabling you to make a HUGE turn loaded with power.
The above exercises are just a few examples of the golf specifics exercises at home you can do.

I like the fact that you are presenting exercises specifically for the golf swing. I don’t know how many times I went to the gym to help my swing but only succeded in tightening up my back and adversely affecting my swing.

I can’t tell you how many times I’ve checked out other so-called golf fitness books in the bookstore and they are ALL “general fitness”
. That’s called deceptive marketing.

My eye was immediately drawn to the graphic, and I thought,”Mike’s upped the stakes- he’s using a Samurai Sword”.
I was relieved to read the text and find it was only tubing!

Paul you’re funny
. Maybe it’s me after a bad shot and I’m taking the sword to my ball
