“Consumers are slowly becoming aware of the fact that real changes of any significance have become fewer and farther between, especially when it comes to drivers and balls. If you really want to make a change in performance, becoming physically fitter and more flexible will improve your performance far more effectively than any piece of equipment. But doing that is not as much fun as shopping” -Frankly Golf

Golf exercises and golf fitness programs are being used by every major player on tour creating today’s highly competitive environment allowing them to drive farther, play more consistently & gain a competitive edge.

Since an early age I have been passionate about fitness and up until quite recently (since I began playing Golf) I’ve always been a fully paid up, Gym Rat. Like most people though, I only have a limited amount of leisure time, and a round of Golf, once or twice a week, can seriously swallow that up. Given my interests have changed, I let the gym membership lapse but that doesn’t mean to say that I have given up on keeping fit - in fact just the opposite, it’s just that my priorities have changed. Not only do I want to be fit for life, I now also want to be fit (and strong) for Golf.

Even when using the gym I had always been interested in Isometric and Isotonic training methods. Now that I no longer visit the gym, I rely on these methods exclusively by using a Bullworker. My understanding of fitness and exercise for Golf is that it relies on building up core strength, which in the gym would be achieved through doing compound exercises (moving the weight through more than one joint) such as squats and dead lifts.

The advantages of the Bullworker means you can easily isolate muscle groups if you want to or build up core strength as mentioned above. My current training schedule includes a routine of 8 exercises with the Bullworker, some dumb-bell work, push-ups and stretching. Since leaving the gym I have maintained the same weight and physique, all done in the comfort of my own home, spending approx 20 mins, every other day. My joints have also improved as they are no longer stressed by the silly amounts of weight I used to lift. I’m now 43 and plan to maintain this schedule for the rest of my life, supported by good nutrition and vitamin, supplementation. The Golf itself is an ideal, low impact, cadio exercise for the perfect regime - more so, if you carry your clubs!

I honestly believe that I have devised one of the best and most practical systems for building strength and fitness for Golf - Heck, I might even write an E-Book!!!. In fact I might have done if Mike Pederson hadn’t beaten me to it. To get details about the ‘Ultimate Golf Fitness Guide’ Click Here
