A Great Golf Swing Exercise

A golf swing exercise is extremely important to improving your golf game, as much so as actually going to the range and playing golf. It allows you to form a good, strong, and repeatable golf swing, which in turns allows you to know where your ball is going to go every time you swing.

A good golf swing exercise is necessary because a golf swing is unnatural to our bodies, it is not a normal movement that should come easy to us. We must practice and repeat this movement over and over again and strengthen the muscles involved in the golf swing. By strengthening these muscles and teaching them what to do, you will hit longer, more accurate drives and irons.

For this golf swing exercise you will need a dumbbell, preferably on the lighter side, say 5 pounds. It is basically a combination of a lunge and a twist. Start out standing normal holding the dumbbell with both hands hanging down in front of you. Next, as you do a lunge (step forward with one leg), rotate your upper body to the same side while holding out the dumbbell chest high and rotating it outwards along with your upper body. Return to the starting position and repeat with the opposite leg and side.

Try and do about 3 or 4 sets of these with about 8-10 reps for each set. If you can do this golf swing exercise a few times a week, I think you will notice your drives and irons begin to start going a little bit farther, assuming you have the correct swing that is.

Golf is a difficult sport that no one ever truly masters, you can only try and improve each time you play. A good golf swing exercise done at home on a regular basis will help you towards this goal. Good luck and have fun.
