The Anywhere Golf Workout

The biggest obstacle to working out is getting started. Here, golf-fitness trainer Jennifer Fleischer offers a simple prescription that will get you not only working out, but developing the muscles required to play better golf. First, she’ll run you through a series of assessments that will help you identify any physical limitations and customize your workouts.

Having strong arms and legs is great, but for golfers, there’s perhaps no more important part of the body than the core. A strong core will increase your mobility, strengthen your back and improve your dynamic balance. In this video, Fleischer demonstrates a series of core exercises to help you develop a more powerful, more efficient golf swing.

You hear a lot about power coming from the legs and the core—and that’s certainly true. But did you know that the shoulder is responsible for 20 percent of your clubhead speed? A full shoulder turn is one of the critical moves of the swing. Here, Fleischer offers exercises that will improve your shoulder mobility, as well as your arm strength and the health of your back.

Much of the leverage and stability in the swing comes from the lower body, so it’s crucial to develop your leg muscles. This is particularly important for golfers who sit for long periods during the day. In this video, Fleischer shows you how to build the foundation of your swing by turning a neglected lower body into a major power source.
