Working out the proper way is crucial in the sustainability of your golf career. Whether you are the weekend warrior or the golf professional, being physically fit is just as important as a solid swing. In fact, it is one of the ways to build that exact thing because the weaker the body is, the more prone to injuries. Even if you are a weekend golfer or only play a couple times a month, it would be smart to take your fitness into consideration. Golf may not seem taxing on the body, but it can do damage long term to the smaller joints in the body.

Your body serves as the vehicle to gaining the proper swing, so why not treat it with the utmost care?

Develop a strength program . Believe in or not, walking does magic for golfers. If you get the time, when you play your next round, try walking and carrying your bag. Not only will you feel stronger cardio wise, you will build stamina. Jogging, Swimming, and light cardio like walking are all great for golf. If you are into Crossfit or boxing type work outs, I would just take it easy and not get too bulked up. I used to think the stronger the better when I was playing golf, which is true- but the correct amount of strong, is vital. Bulking up will tighten and shorten your muscles if done the wrong way.

Build a foundation for your fitness before going too hard at a workout. Your body will be glad you did.
