Any exercises y'all do specifically to help with your golf game?

Core work is always great…that plus glute strength can help with strengthening and protecting your back. Couple of simpler ones that you can hold or pulse are side planks and hip bridges. You can also advance both of these via different movements or even with adding a weight on top of your hips for the hip bridges.

Side plank variations - hip dip, rotations with the arm that isn't on the ground, leg lifts with the leg that isn't on the ground. That last variation is killer.
Hip bridge variations - adding the weight on top of your hips, marching your legs while holding the bridge, pulsing.

There are so many other things I feel like that are out there. I do pretty general fitness, but I feel like I always am seeing the pros doing a lot of very focused stuff on top of general training.

Top of mind I would also definitely recommend yoga and lunges or holds with a cross body rotation.

My trainer has me do a lot of core and lower back exercises, like leg lifts, crunches, and lower back extensions. Then I also do 1:30 minute sets on a torso twist machine with light weight, 1 set to the right and 1 set to the left.

Pilates

Follow @jgolffitness , His golf exercises are some of the best out there for range of motion, flexibility, and power.

Being a WLD Tour Professional, I am always stretching. 3-5 times a day. Fast rotational exercises that mimic the golf swing, but if you don't have any range of motion & flexibility the strength you do have can't be applied over a longer swing arc.

Most older golfers loose flexibility, then the strength goes in areas you were once working. Gain more range of motion with stretching, elastic bands, and core work. Shoulders, back, & butt. Then, slowly add a little weight over time when your body can handle the stress.

Golf longevity is the goal plus the added health benefits of being active.

Added distance to your drive is a BONUS

Has anyone here looked at ashtanga yoga for golf? I've taken a few classes now with a guy that skips all the weird yoga stuff. The routine essentially targets everything that you need for golf mobility and strength. It's MISIG x 10 for an hour+. I wish I would have done it 20 years ago. I'm terrible at it, but every inadequacy is also seen in my golf swing, now titled "an old man swing" by my daughter. Ouch.

I've always thought yoga was for the soy latte boys, still do…but I can't have an old man swing.

Peloton has some strength classes that are specific Strength for Golfers and Mobility for Golfers. Its a 8 class program with Selena Samuela.

Does anyone do anything for tennis elbow (pain on the outside area of the elbow)?

I'm experiencing it in both arms but especially my left (lead) arm.

I've had that fixed with dry needling and strengthening exercises for the affected area. Dry needling was the key in my opinion though.

We've used stack...it works to get your speed up for sure. My only caution would be to watch your actual swing and keep your spine angles etc. It's really easy to lose some of the fundamentals of your swing if you only do stack. I would couple with a lot of glute work. That is where I saw my biggest distance gains.

I find these work well and can easily, if not preferred, be worked in with your on-course work. Seemless.

Do a good warmup. I think Sasho does it twice. Not necessary to do that. Just make sure your warm

Did some medicine ball work today. Gotta strengthen the core & increase my flexibility

i think this is pretty simple and easy to follow and provides things for swing speed, overall strength, flexibility and off season stuff.

If I had as much discipline with working out as I do hitting balls, I'm sure I will get to where I want to be, but the hardest thing in the world for me to do is exercise

Hitting balls is a lot of exercise in my book
