![]() Golf fitness programs don’t require a gym, fancy equipment or up two two hours a day to accomplish your goals. You can improve your driving distance, consistency and overall performance at home in just 30 to 45 minutes a day. Here are two exercises: SQUAT: A simple squat will help create more leg power and endurance in your game. Stand with your legs shoulder width apart, keep your weight on your heels and squat slowly making sure your knees don’t go out over your toes. Squat as deep as you feel comfortable, and continue going deeper with each rep, with the goal being a 90-degree angle in your knees. You can add a balance exercise by performing the squat on two pillows or an unstable surface. STRETCH: You can stretch your shoulders and chest by standing in a doorway with your arms on each side of the wall, lean in and hold for 30 to 45 seconds. This will create more flexibility in your backswing. Mike Hansen is a certified personal trainer specializing in golf fitness. He can be reached at (949) 262-3486 or www.healthygolfer.com. |
