I am looking to do a some light excercises that would help my golf game. I don't have any weight lifting equipement or want to go to a gym. We have a treadmill, which I will do cardio, but what about some strength and flexibility excercises? I am thinking of some type of stretch strength conditioning with those stretch things. Does anyone have any other quick excercises they suggest?

Get a set of powerbands with the heaviest tension, possible. You can do an entire body workout.

Since you don't have weight equipment, get yourself a medicine ball, at least 25 lbs. You can do various lunges and squats, high and fast reps with 25 second rests between sets.

Lastly, get yourself a speed ladder. They come with a video teaching you how to do agility and flexibility exercises.

Good luck.

Actualy you are completely incorrect Tiger_who. Pilates is a the strengthening of your core thru resistance training without the use of weights. As a Golfer you want the flexibility with the core strength not the bulk you get with weight training. Now I am not saying dont use weights however you want to do lighter weights with more reps if you do.

Harrinjj my suggestion is to look for a local pilates studio and call to ask them to design a home program for you. If you cannot find one you can contact this studio and I am sure they can help out. www.serenityvalley.ca but to get the best program it should be designed around your body type and range of flexibility that is why it is best to find a local instructor. Spend a little money to get the best results.

Check out this book:

"Get Yourself in Golf Shape" by Cindy Reid

It has some good golf specific stretching and strengthening drills. You don't need a lot of equipment (there are few that use various machines but most don't). It also has a daily plan for something like 8 days which I find helps me vs having a bunch of different things I could o.

Hey Harrinjj - why not heed the advice of someone who's renowned for golf-specific workouts? Get to the library and take out "How I Play Golf" by Tiger Woods. There's a chapter in the back detailing which stretches and strength exercises he thinks are beneficial for the demands of the sport. If it got HIM this far....

Bag It:

3-Wood Wishon 525 F/D, 13*, Matrix Studio 65gm, Golf Pride Dual Compound
Hybrid: Wishon "321", 24*, MSF 85 HB, Winn DSI
Irons: Wishon 770CFE, Matrix Studio 74gm, Winn DSI

Putter: Odyssey DFX 2-Ball

Bag: Some big, honkin', ridiculous overkill of an Ogio cart bag with more pockets than I have teeth.

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By iacas · Posted

      It may not have been block practice, though, is one of the main points here. You may have been serving and from the same place, but you were likely trying to do slightly different things. It seems that would only be blocked practice if you were trying to hit the same exact ball hit to you to the same exact place in the far court. I'm not sure that's as random as if the ball that you're given to hit is at different places, too, but again…

      Dr. Raymond Prior and Block vs. Random Practice (The Spin Axis Podcast)

      By Clemsonfan · Posted

      I played tennis in college. I thought block practice was great for serves because you were starting the point and  you could easily adjust where you wanted to place the ball based off the same motion. I equate those to tee balls. I despised block practice for groundstrokes once you reached a certain level and your fundamentals were good. To me, hitting a 100 crosscourt backhands in a row was silly because I would never do that in a match. I needed to randomize it by hitting some deep, some angled, all with different speeds and spins. I share that same thought about iron play. Because we seldom hit the same approach shots hole after hole, I prefer to practice irons randomly.
