Our golf season is short up here and I don't want to waste it doing rehab! What do you guys do for physical conditioning? I'm thinking more at home exercise since I'm not a gym kind of person, and if I were, I'd have to drive a half hour to get to one.

But with a 300# barbell set, some type of rack or stands and a strength training program 3 days a week will keep you in better shape than most the population year around. Attached File

JCoop Callsign: Hiroo Joined Jan 2008 Posts 9782 EE 0% (0) NH, USA	Posted: 4/19/2024 9:18:45 AM EDT [#4] I probably ought to do some lifting... I'm not fat or in particularly bad shape. The issue I'm concerned about is that up here where the snow flies, I have no activities that work the same muscles that are used in golf for about half the year. All that rotational stuff. I'm going to work with resistance bands and see what results I get.

I personally avoid sit ups due to construction lifestyle. Gym 3-4 days a week, dont have to go crazy on the weight. Do more reps. Get out and walk! 1-2 miles a day and pull some hills. Will hurt at 1st. Within 30days you will be amazed.
