Here’s a great website for outstanding golf fitness help……….
Mike Pedersen Golf Blog
You’ll quickly note that I’m on a golf fitness binge. Being 3 months from reaching 70 years will do that to you.
After a great deal of research, I’ve elevated the Mike Pedersen Golf Blog and his other site, Perform Better Golf, to the top of the list of golf fitness websites. They are truly outstanding sites that offer the type of instruction that you need to get into a state of good physical conditioning, and keep it.
His blog offers some good articles on stretching, excercises, the swing and more. Be sure to not miss the opportunity to get his free ebook, that is downloadable in .pdf format.
On the Perform Better Golf site you will find training aids that will improve your golf swing power, and good swing training DVDs that are very reasonably priced.
Golf Fitness Magazine
If you really want to play good golf, you can’t deny fitness efforts….it’s absolutely essential. To play any sport well, you’ll have to give some effort to getting that old flabby frame in better condition, and keep it that way.
Take the time to look around at your golf buddies. Then, ask your self, which of them plays consistently good golf? Then, compare the physical condition of those who play the best golf to those who don’t play well. Who do you want to emulate? You already know the answers to these questions without any extensive thought.
If you seriously want help with a conditioning program, there’s a ton of it on the internet……for free! I recommend that you start with Golf Fitness Magazine. You will find help of all sorts. You’ll find:
1. Videos
2. Articles
3. Blogs
4. News
5. Surveys
…and more
Make 2010 the year that you begin a sincere effort at golf fitness.
I’ve read many golf fitness books and find that there are quite a number that I rate as being very good. Before you go looking for fitness books, make up your mind which parts of your body or swing that you think need help. Some of them get very specific, such as back or leg fitness. If you look far enough, you’ll find generalized books that will help you with your overall fitness training.
A quick search at Amazon.com for “golf fitness” results in a list of 50 such books. Here are the top 6:
1. Get Yourself in Golf Shape :Year-Round Drills to Build a Strong Flexible Swing by Cindy Reid, Steve Eubanks, and Vijay Singh (Paperback – Sep 29, 2005)
