Hi! I have just joined the forum here but I have been a 'reader' for a while. My name is Matt, I live in Essex and I am a fitness professional with a golf fitness specialist credential. I have been training with amateur and pro golfers for several years. I now deliver golf specific fitness programmes to golfers all over the UK as well as performing 1:1 sessions in Chelmsford, Essex.

I'd love to discuss all things exercise and nutrition so I thought I would kick it off with my favourite question to golfers...

What is your favourite golf specific gym exercise?

Mine is the BOSU / Gym ball / balance disk set up to back swing. The control, posture and balance you can enhance is worth getting excited about!

I'd love a golf specific exercise plan but none available in my area

Do a search for TPI - Titleist Performance Institute.

Plenty there!

Also saw a very good 'warm-up' set of drills - mainly aimed at engaging the core - somewhere (WRX email?) not long ago.
Anything that strengthens 'the core' or promotes better balance will work well!

I regularly exercise the right foot!

heyup Matt and welcome to the nuthouse. If you get a serious answer to this question on here al share me cheesy chips in the 19th with you.
Re getting excited about exercise, yup that's me. But it's usually when I am watching someone of the opposite sex doing it as long as they are under 14 stone.

Hehehe, had a wee chuckle when I saw this post, for me it's more a case of 'What's my favourite golf specific couch excersize' although maybe a visit to the gym would be more benefitial if the reflection in the mirror is anything to go by, but then personally I think my mirror is a habitual liar anyway... :rofl:

It's hard bloody work trust me.

Funny enough though i find the Tabata protocol and the clean & pressing more grueling

 

[Deleted member 1147]

Deadlifts, squats, upper back pulley, leg press, box jumps, russian twists, lots of stretching on the power plates and with a foam roller

Sorry it took me so long to digest your thoughts! Well done for the serious answers and well done for the creativity of the not so serious!
