I would like to do a workout routine during the week, that will help me during Saturday play. What do you players do?

I walk my 2 hunting dogs 2 miles every morning at 5:30 and when we get home do 5 minutes of planks.  

Try and walk and play 9 holes after work (that's starting to get difficult unless I get home by 5:30).  On the weekend try and play 18 Sat and Sun.

I hike quite a bit to keep my legs in decent working order. I also ride a bike a few miles each week. 

Golf specific, in addition to playing/ practicing, I am the course 2-3 times a week. Sometimes 4. I also make it appoint to swing a club everyday. Most of the time using my Kallassy club.

I try to walk a good length at lunchtimes (also stops me eating), and my physio has given me some on-all-fours stretches to do every other day to keep my back flexible. Have seen videos of some good golfers use an exercise machine where they pull a cord from the ground to their side up and across their chests which looks like it might be beneficial. I have been trying to get a mid week game and a driving range session in too, but its hard with kids and British weather.

I used to do the routine in Joey D's Fix Your Body, Fix Your Swing.

I stretch first thing every morning.  I'll be 60 years old in a couple of months, I consider stretching to be the most important fitness activity that I do.

I walk my two retrievers 2 miles every morning, and 1 mile every evening.

I do one of these every morning alternating... light weight lifting (push-ups, dumbbell (db) squats, lunges, bent-over db row, sissy squats, db press, db curls, db triceps extensions, an ab exercise), or a Joey D workout, or 25 minutes on a rowing machine, or 25 minutes on an exercise bike, or play/walk an executive 18 golf course.

On the days I don't play golf I either practice with foam balls and a net in the back yard, or I go to the range.

This is the Joey D workouts: https://smile.amazon.com/Fix-Your-Body-Swing-Revolutionary/dp/0312605625/ref=sr_1_fkmr0_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1504205126&sr=8-1-fkmr0&keywords=Joey+D+golf+workout+book

the last 6 months ive basically been doing 15-20 minute hiit workouts every single day. sometimes with weights, but most often just bodyweight. sometimes with a power yoga mixed into it once a week. not really golf specific by any means, but definitely good for core and lower body strength/endurance

Why not shoot for overall fitness since u seem to have the time to workout during the week.

You use most every muscle for golf.  Core muscles especially.  I don't know what your current level of fitness or health is but how about Crossfit classes or look for a gym that does sports specific training?

Where u play once a week it's going to be tough to know if it's fitness or just a day when everything clicks that results in a good round.

I lift weights 5 days a week, primarily 3 sets working in the 4-6 rep range with a focus on deadlifts, squats, military press, and the bench press.

I was lifting at a gym 2-3 times a week but have cut back to once a week. I've been concentrating on getting my firewood cut, split and stacked for winter. I should be back to at least two workouts per week very soon.

If I go three times a week, I'll do lower body on one of those three days. Otherwise, it's upper body without any focus on golf specific exercises. That might change.

I go to the gym in the mornings 6 days a week before going to work. 40 mins of elliptical machine intervals. Then, circuit weight training with machines 3x10 three days a week. 

Tue and Thurs, i will do two workouts. Morning workout is 40 mins on the elliptical machine. Evening workout is 30 mins of indoor spinning as a recovery ride. 

I ride my road bike Sat and Sun mornings Sat for 2 hours and 75 mins on Sun doing Criterium intervals. 

As you can see......I enjoy working out daily and playing golf. 


Elliptical machine 45 mins in the morning 6 days a week.

Circuit weight training with machines 3 days a week for 3x10-15 reps

Dumbbell Power cleans once a week. 3x8 last set with 70% of 1Rpm.

    • Day 142 - 2025-02-19 Had 45 minutes after some GEARS lessons and before a junior. Got some good work in.
    • He wasn't a bad guy. And he was just trying to get out there and get some fresh air and exercise. He ended up liking the new cane a lot, because in addition to not making pock marks on the greens, it also stood up by itself. He didn't have to hand it to somebody to hold while he hit his shot. Or lean it against the cart. It would just stand up by itself. ... Kind of like those stand up putters. ... 🤣
    • Sounds like you guys came up with a great solution.
