Ben Shear's 5 Week Fitness Program

Golf Digest has run two articles by their fitness advisor Ben Shear, which I'm linking here as 5-Week Program, Part 1 and 5-Week Program, Part 2. These 12 exercises -- 6 in each article -- are supposed to get you in golf shape in just 5 weeks. A crash course, if you will.

I don't know if I consider they will paintings that rapid, and I think 12 physical activities is truly nearing the restrict of how many you must try and do throughout a unmarried exercise. (Personally, I might decide upon a limit of 7 or 8 sporting activities.) Still, this is a superb blend of sporting activities in case you're searching out a brand new routine.

There are three mobility sporting activities:

• 90-90 Knee Drop (pictured above)
• Bretzel (what a strange name!)
• Shoulder Wall Slide

3 stability exercises:

• Medicine Ball Lift
• No-Arm Side Plank
• Dead Bug

3 strength exercises:

• Bulgarian Split-Squat
• One-Legged Glute Bridge
• One-Legged Row

and 3 power exercises:

• Rotational Jump
• Vertical Leap
• One-Legged Lateral Jump

The stability and strength exercises all require equipment of some sort, but you may find items around the house that you can substitute.

Shear says you may do all 12 physical games in less than half-hour, that is a reasonable quantity of time to commit to a workout. And he says to do two sets of 10 reps for each exercising, which is also an inexpensive quantity in case you're going to do that many exclusive exercises in one session. If you try it, just make certain you do not flow so rapid that you hurt your self, trying to finish inside that 30-minute consultation.
