Golf Specific Exercise?

As I have conducted my research into the golf fitness ideas presented on the internet, I am struck by the number of sites that offer "golf specific" exercises, as if these are the magic bullets to hitting the ball as far as Tiger but with the accuracy of Fred Funk. Sorry, but that is pure bunk. But, a lot of us are on the internet to sell something, so maybe that is one way to go for some people.

However, you should consider this when doing your own research into a fitness program to improve your golf game: the golf swing utilizes the ENTIRE body, so, doesn't it make sense that you need to work out your entire body if you see it as a way to improve your golf game? What possible "golf specific" exercise could work out the legs, back, shoulders, arms and core all at once? Hopefully, you came to the same conclusion as I have that the answer is NONE!

I've also noticed some exercises on these websites that target ONE muscle or one small muscle group. Again, that is nonsense and a complete waste of your time. But, most of the people selling those types of exercise programs do not have another job that occupies their entire day, like most people do. And, the fact is, most golfers want to work on their game, rather than work on their body.

That is why I developed a program that you can do in as little as 15 minutes a day if that is all the time you have, and you can do it from your own home. It hits all the major muscle groups, and requires absolutely no equipment. You can even do it on days that you have to go to work before you head out to the golf course to get that 9 holes, or even 18 holes in during the late afternoon, evening hours in the summer.

So, keep all this in mind when you are checking out the various golf fitness websites out there on the internet.
