Golf-specific exercises should be done on your feet and incorporate the dynamic positioning of your golf stance. Performing exercises while sitting at a stationary machine will do nothing for your game. A good example is the chest press. Instead of using a machine with fixed arms, use the cable machine. Think about your body position when you address the golf ball, grasp each handle and stand the same way. Keep your stomach tight, elbows high and perform each press with a slow, smooth movement. Conditioning yourself as an athlete requires a combination of strength, balance alignment and imagery training. Applying this approach, you’ll become a more skilled golfer and reduce your risk of injury. Mike Hansen is a certified personal trainer specializing in golf fitness.
