In Season Exercises For Golfers

This includes 2 workouts plus a warm-up and cool down that should be performed after each workout. Try to do each workout one time per week.

It is important to remember that this workout is designed for you to do in-season. While we still might see improvements in fitness, your main focus should be on golf. These workouts are to help maintain your current level of fitness (and possibly increase it slightly) and keep you injury-free. For this reason, it is very important you perform the entire warm-up and cool down.

We have done most of the exercises before, and for those we haven’t, I have provided youtube links next to them.
