I get asked a lot what I think are the most useful golf fitness exercises and pieces of equipment for a man to use when training for both normal and golf-specific fitness. I'm going to retort a few of those questions right here.
What Exercises Should I Do?

Golf specific conditioning is a huge buzzword right now. However, if you are just starting a conditioning program hopping into a true golf specific training program might not be the best idea. Stay with me and I will clarify why.
Answer this question: could a man be a math genius if they did not know how to add or subtract? Of course not. There is a baseline level of knowledge (such as expanding and subtraction in math) that must be had in order to enlarge to more advanced topics in separate areas and conditioning is no different.
You must have a baseline level of conditioning and movement coordination in order to enlarge to more advanced/sport specific conditioning/movements.
The idea is to Focus On normal force And Movement Patterns Before Focusing On Golf specific force And Movement Patterns.
By mastering basic pulling, squatting and pushing movements and focusing on factors such as equilibrium and coordination you will enlarge much faster than if you focused on golf-specific exercises right from the start.
Keep Your Workouts Simple
I am a big believer that the simpler you keep your workouts the good results you will get and the less time it will take to get those results. Using basic exercise like the ones highlighted in the free workouts offered on my site will keep your workouts uncomplicated and deliver results fast.
What equipment Do I Need?
If I had two pieces of equipment to use for the rest of my life it would be a rehabilitation ball and stability ball. Sure, they are not impressive, but what they lack in flash they make up many times over in both versatility and effectiveness.
Using rehabilitation and stability balls allows you to effectively train your body in three separate planes of motion: frontal/coronal (front to back), sagittal (side to side) and transverse (up and down). As both life and the golf swing happen in three dimensions it is a great idea to train your body to achieve in any direction.
If you have entrance to a gym, you should make it a point to have the following pieces of equipment become staples of your training program:
Dumbells
Cable Pulleys
Medicine Balls
Stability Balls
All these pieces of equipment allow you to train in three dimensions and will also challenge your normal equilibrium and coordination, both of which are important components of a solid, fine golf swing.
Hopefully this article shows you that you do not need huge amounts of equipment or fancy exercises to start a capability golf fitness program. Focus on the basics and you will be well on your way to adding yards to your drives and taking strokes off your scores.
