Well as promised. Camillo has alot of good core workouts,especially hip workouts.

Here is Camillo's video.

The Meanshealth app has a workout (it was extra, but I bought it) called the "300 yd. drive workout". It looks very promising and much more low impact than my current workout.

So I think that I've put together a fairly comprehensive workout geared towards golf. It focuses on the core, arms, back, and cardio. If you want a copy of it let me know, you can obv. edit it to fit your needs. I start it on Monday, wish me luck. If you want the workout just send me a private message.

I've attached the workout sheet. The cardio, reps, and weights can all be adjusted to suit your needs. I also suggest picking and choosing some of these workouts and making your own workout schedule. What works well for one may not for others. This workout is geared towards strong arms, back, legs, and especially the core muscles of the body. If the workout excersise names don't ring a bell just google them, some people have different names for the same excersise. I'm going to do this workout for a month and then switch it up, so if you like this I may have more in the future.

Anything "core strengthening" and anything that improves flexibility.

As a gym instructor/lifeguard my fitness is pretty good. I disagree with you theory of big arms and shoulders will reduce your range of motion. Lack of stretching will reduce your range of motion along with poor warm ups (in the gym and on course). Yes there are golf specific exercises but most general exercises will do just fine. TPI on youtube is a great place for stretching and flexibility ideas.

As for me my workouts tend to vary depending on my moods and if i'm playing a lot of golf. At the moment i'm playing a lot of golf in prep for this years Morgan Cup which means i'm spending less time doing weights and more time on my cardio, be it running, swimming and rowing. I also have a pretty solid flexibility routine that I go through with everyone at the end of my classes.

When i'm not playing as much golf I have a 3 day heavy weights routine. Day 1, 10 mins cardio and Chest/Biceps. Day 2 Legs/Shoulder and Core. Day 3, 10 mins cardio and Back/Triceps. All of these days are followed by the same strecthing and flexibility routine as above. I also do 10 lengths in the pool each day depending if I have any energy left

I've been working out pretty regularly since November (running 3-4 miles a day and doing core exercises). My company has a golf league that starts in april and runs through the summer, and I want to be as fit for it as possible. I've been reading through some magazines and looking online for some golf-based excersises, and while I have found some I haven't found a comprehensive workout for golf. Does anyone know of or have a workout routine (weight training, core excersise, ect,ect.) geared towards golf. I would highly appreaciate any help.

I do a couple simple exercises for golf. Both of these exercises focus on flexibility and core strength.

1) Russian Twist - 3 x 15 -Add a medicine ball for more difficulty. There a couple different ways to this. I found this way the most effective.
-Lay on your back with your knees pointed upward like you are going to do a crunch.
-Sit up so your chest is close to your knees
-From there begin to lean back engaging your core.
-Go down as far as you can. Put your hands together and place them in the middle of your chest.
-Now twist back and forth as far as you can.

2) Standing Medicine Ball Twist (I made up the name) - 3 x 10
-Hold a medicine ball out in front of your body with your arms fully extended
-Rotate back as far as you can and pause briefly.
-Rotate through as far as you can and pause briefly once again.
-Repeat for 10 reps

Tiger Woods has said that when he joined the tour their were only two guys in the gym: he and Vijay Singh. Since then, the stereotypical PGA Tour golfer (the successful one, at least) has been an athlete with a trainer and everything. There was even a recent special on the Golf Channel about fitness on the PGA Tour. I'm curious what workouts, stretches, or other exercises you have found helpful to your game, and why.

I'll start with a little about me. I became an athlete of sorts after I quite playing golf after high school, and I've tried to stay in some manner of shape since then. Since trying to get back into the game, I've discovered I need to change my workout habits quite a bit in order to maximize the benefit to my game and minimize the harm. For instance, big arms and shoulders can reduce the range of motion of my golf swing, so I've stopped focusing on that. I have a stability ball (I started a thread about it last year), a stretching bar, workout bands, and am in need of a foam roller. I've found a number of sites that have very helpful tips on golf fitness, but probably the most helpful has been Titleist's Performance Institute. The exercises I've found most enjoyable and helpful have been those that emphasize balance and stability, a good shoulder rotation, and wrist health (my left wrist can get hurt easily). A good collection of exercises is found here. What are some of your favorite exercises or stretches? How do you improve your golf fitness?
