Anyone hit the gym for golf?

Do some upper body weights, mainly arms and chest, in the winter 3/4 times a week and play footie. In the summer only do upper body about 3 times every two weeks to keep ticking over.

Don't go to the gym but do go running 3 to 4 times a week.

cool.
ive just been squatting so i highly doubt that il be able to walk very well tomorrow and im playing 18 ohh the joy

Nah you'll be ok tomorrow, it'll hit you wednesday if squats aint part of your normal routine.

ohh it is part of my normal routine and i did them to failure so im finding it hard to walk now ! dammit

Fair play-a fantastic exercise, though I prefer the incline leg press but the squat is a far more natural movement, the only prob is it can build not only your legs but your a*se as well!

incline leg presses are very good. but i only do squats because ive got a squat/power rack in my garage so its easy peasie

I make working out another part of my game to be honest. I go to the gym occasionally but most workout in the house. Some weight-lifting, press-ups and followed by chin-ups. Since i started ive noticed a considerably increase in length.

Hi, this website may be of interest to you. I have been using the program which is a combination of weights,weighted club and powerband exercise's.
I have seen an improvement in distance and ball striking.

The only training i do is 8 hours a day laying brick and block

I wish i had time to do so

In all my years in construction I've never known a brickie do an 8 hour day! Made of sugar!

I hit the gym - not specifically for golf but have an eye on it - always wary of becoming too bulky and impeding the swing - lots of core and back work - they can't be strong enough in my opinion. Get there most mornings before work it's a boxing gym so a lack of pretty girls but it's a good workout. That and plenty of running - I hate running.

My body is a temple, built in the 19th. I have little enough time for golf let alone the smelly pits gyms are.

I've just joined a local gym.

Starting off improving my very poor fitness, after that will be looking at exercises that can help in golf.

Might even join the Yoga class...
