Upper Body Strength for a Powerful Golf Swing

Find me a golfer who doesn't want to hit the ball farther, reduce their risk of injury, and improve their balance and strength. I haven't met one yet. We all LOVE to play golf and want to be able to play as we get older.

Since golf is a rotational sport, we need to train rotationally. I love to use tubing in my workouts as tubing is so versatile. These 2 exercises are great to do.

You'll love these 2 exercises to add into your golf workouts.

Chest Press with Rotation:

• Have your anchor point chest height
• Grip handle with right hand
• Step forward with your left leg and punch with your right arm. Make sure to rotate as you are punching.
• Step back to your starting position.
• 10-12 reps/ 2-3 sets. Repeat on both sides.
• To make the tension harder, step away from the anchor point.

Single Arm Lat Pulls

• Face the anchor point and have it at chest level.
• Place handle in right hand.
• Rotate, pulling hand back. Bring elbow behind you.
• Put weight into your back foot as you pull back.
• 10-12 reps each side/ 2-3 sets
• To make the tension harder, step away from the anchor point.

I love to use the Golf Forever Swing Trainer (that's where the tubing comes from). Besides having 2 different levels of tubing (light and medium), you also get the Swing Trainer bar. Click here to get your own Swing Trainer. One big advantage of this device is it travels well also. Use Code: JTFITGOLF - Free Shipping!

You'll see workouts with the Swing Trainer in JT Fitness and Golf Membership site as well!

Hope you enjoy these exercises. As always, let me know how I can help you!
