You can break your swing down into the phases you feel are weak or inefficient, and use the tubing during that phase. It’s nearly “instant” feeling in regards to stronger golf muscles.

This tubing is affordable, portable and can be used in your office, home or even while on the road. I like to think of it as completely replacing those expensive cable machines you see in the gyms. They are equally as good, and cost a fraction of what those cable machines cost.

Doing a power golf swing tubing program is one of the fastest ways to improve your driving distance.

Below is a picture of one of these balls. They are perfect to sit on at your computer. Actually I’m doing it right now.

They come in different sizes, but there are 2 main sizes. You’ve got a 55cm ball that is typically for golfers 5′6″ and under. And you’ve got a 65cm ball for golfers 5′6″ and taller.

It is important to get the size that fits your height, so go off the above scale to make your choice.

Below, you’ll see me doing an exercise out of my 3 Minutes For 30 Days golf exercise ebook.

There are so many things you can do with an exercise ball that will add stability, control, balance, and coordination to your swing, which will dramatically improve your golf swing consistency.

The great thing about the ball is the stability factor. Just getting on the ball will fire up muscles you haven’t used for a long time. These muscles will directly improve your golf swing.

Sitting on the ball at your computer will quickly strengthen your back muscles which will improve your golf posture. Many older golfers struggle with posture, and getting on the ball can make a huge difference.

Unfortunately these golfers are not improving. You see… your golf swing requires a certain level of both strength and flexibility. You cannot attain this by hitting more balls or taking more lessons. You can ONLY get this from training your golf muscles specific to your golf swing.

Home exercises for golf is one of the easiest ways to improve your golf swing power, consistency and accuracy. This is such a “no-brainer”. Simple exercises ANY golfer can do. Doesn’t matter if you are 22 or 72 you can do these easy golf exercises.

Stretching is one aspect EVERY golfer should focus on, especially the older golfer. If you’re in this demographic, don’t be afraid. I don’t care if you can’t come close to touching your toes or can’t even scratch your own forehead…you can do this program!

It’s NEVER too late!

Doing simple golf exercises in the privacy of your own home removes the time and convenience reason (excuse).  Just put on some comfortable sweats and off you go. You don’t even need much equipment.

How about if I told you all you need is an exercise ball, tubing with handles and ONE pair of dumbbells and you’ve got your golf exercise home gym?

Well… that’s all you need!

I hope you are getting this. The results you’ll get are amazing! More yards off the tee. Consistently hitting the fairway! And…LOWER scores!

What more do you have to read to take the plunge? Don’t you want to stop the madness? Walk off the 18th tee with a BIG ‘OL grin on your face!

It’s time to TAKE ACTION!

If you want a simple, step-by-step system to add up to 30 yards to your drives, lower your score by up to 8 strokes and eliminate EVERY frustrating swing fault you have… I strongly recommend you check out Mike Pedersen’s newly released Effortless Golf Training System.

Mike’s proven program will transform your golf swing!

Like any other sport, you must mimic the primary movement preferrably with resistance. This is where golf swing training come in.

If you’re serious about your game and you’ve spent any amount of time in frustration from a golf game that is not up to your expected level, you need to consider training your golf muscles specific to golf.

Exercises can be as simple using exercise tubing or dumbbells. Or can be more advanced and challenging using a weighted medicine ball focusing on your core muscles.

Most golfers hear the term “exercise” and run!

What I want you to do is imagine the end-result of doing these golf swing exercises.

Stepping up to hit your tee shot and KILLING IT! Hitting it longer than anyone in your foursome. Not only doing that on one hole, but ALL of them!

Picture having all your golf buddies coming to you asking you how the heck you’re able to crush your drives LONG and straight.

The kind of exercise plan for golf I’m talking about is targeted to your limitations that are causing ALL your swing faults and unhappy rounds of golf. When you target a plan with this approach you can lose! It’s such a “no-brainer” to get a specific plan in place, but so many golfers don’t. I can’t figure out why.

This plan requires you get a golf swing fitness evaluation very much like getting your golf swing on video so you can diagnose your swing deficiences. So once you find out what your body is limited in physically, you can now get a golf exercise plan that works on those very specific issues and within a very short period of time your swing will start to fall into place.

Too many times I see golfers in the gym doing “general” exercises on machines and complaining they have seen improvement in their driving distance.

I’m not surprised!

Machines are “controlled” and usually isolate ONE muscle group at a time.

The golf swing is dynamic, free-flowing, and usines many muscles in a specific sequence of motion.

With that being said, wouldn’t you train your body as specific to your golf swing as possible? Wouldn’t you use resistance like exercise tubing, dumbbells, and medicine balls to accomplish this? I sure would!

Golf specific exercises are also rotational in nature just like your golf swing.  They are also on your feet like the golf swing. Many of these exercises can even be done in your golf posture.

I could go on and on, but I think you get the idea!

You must first work on YOUR BODY!

The physical decline of your body is what’s causing your lack of improvement in golf. Until you realize this, you will be one FRUSTRATED golfer for a LONG time!

Seek out a golf exercise dvd or golf exercise book to give you the direction you need to improve these physical limitations and get you back on track to playing the kind of golf you know you’re capable of.

You see…exercise for golf doesn’t have to be grueling, but it does have to be specific to YOUR needs. Evaluating your weaknesses is the first step to designing a golf exercise program that will be geared to you personally.

You will soon be AMAZED at your improvement!

As a senior golfer, the sky is your limit! You truly can improve 80%-100% from where you currently are, and imagine what that will do to your driving distance, accuracy and consistency?

You will soon be ENJOYING the game again!

Well…in golf it’s Tiger Woods. What does Tiger do that many golf don’t do?

It’s a golf exercise program!

Your body needs to be in shape if you want to enjoy your golf. You know this…I know you do!

The critical issue is doing it! Making it a habit. Finding a program that suits your schedule and enjoyment is the main thing to being successful with it.

Golf Exercise Benefits

Stronger golf muscles for more power, distance and stability (consistency) in your golf swing.

Looser muscles for an effortless swing with no tension allowing you to maximize power without damaging your body into a golf injury.

Being able to play 2 maybe even 3 rounds in one day and not fatique, which means you’ll blow away your foursome by the second round for sure.

Slow the aging process and enjoy your golf for years to come.

Look better and feel better than you have in years!

I could go on and on, but I think the above is more than enough reason to get started RIGHT NOW!

You can do the same thing. Instead of doing an entire program that may take up to 90 minutes to complete, do a modified one that can be done in less than 20 minutes a day, or do Mike Pedersen’s 3 Minutes For 30 Days golf exercise program, which has one unique golf exercise per day…that’s it! One exercise and you’re done and feeling great!

Doing something daily is much better than not doing anything at all. You’ve got to keep your body tuned for golf. If you don’t, your golf swing will start to break down resulting in shorter drives, more inconsistent shots, and HIGHER scores!

I want you to become more aware of the physical demand the golf swing puts on your body and start making changes in your current program to prevent any physical breakdown in your swing. It’s not as hard as you think.

For those of you who want to play better as you get older, the ONLY way is to strengthen and stretch your golf swing muscles on a consistent basis (preferably daily). You cannot expect to play good golf is your body is physically declining. This is IMPOSSIBLE! A weak and tight body will NEVER make a good swing…especially on a consistent basis for 18 holes.

With all this being said…what really is golf exercise?

Golf exercise is NOT going to a GYM and plopping down on a machine! I can’t tell you this strong enough. Golf is done ON YOUR FEET… in a very unique and very uncomfortable position called “golf posture”. How ever could SITTING on a machine help your golf swing? It CAN’T! No way!

Many golf exercises should be done either on your feet or on a stability ball where you can utilize your core muscles which are definitely used in your golf swing and can generate a high level of clubhead speed…which results in LONGER DRIVES.

Many of these exercises for golf should be rotational in nature, since the main movement in golf is turning (rotational). I laugh when I see trainers who say they are golf fitness trainers doing basic ab crunchs with their clients. Now…if you have a very out of shape golfer, then yes…you should build up the core strength before you start doing rotational exercises.

Mimic golf swing mechanics with resistance.

This is one of the easiest ways to accomplish your golf exercise goals. Break your golf swing into phases and use exercise tubing, dumbbells or medicine balls as resistance. A good example would be the baseball player swing a weighted bat. Very sport-specific. Golfers need to think the same way.

Well…I think that’s enough for now!
