Regularly exercising and building muscle is not only great for your health in general but is also an awesome way to ensure that you are able to play at your best level on the course. Building muscle takes a lot of work and a lot of consistency. Check out a few key exercises that you can implement into your workout regimen, whether you are in the gym or working out from the comfort of your own home:
Resistance Bands
There are a variety of different exercises that you can do with resistance bands, no matter where you are! In a squat position, you can walk forwards and backward as well as side-to-side, working to strengthen your glutes. These exercises are quick, easy, and convenient. This will also greatly help your stability, improving your stance on the course.

Core work with medicine balls
To help strengthen your core, you cannot go wrong with a medicine ball! With these, you can do pullover crunches, reverse crunches, side throws, crunch throws, and so much more! Depending on whether you are a beginner or looking for more intermediate exercises, you can use a lighter or heavier medicine ball.
Seated rotations
To improve your mobility on the course, start implementing seated rotations into your workouts. To have a successful swing, you must have an effective and strong body rotation. Seated rotations help to increase your mobility and maximize torque.
Squats with or without weights
Squatting is an awesome way to help improve your swing. The more squats that you do, whether you use your bodyweight or prefer to add in a kettlebell or dumbbells, the stronger your legs and glutes will become. Strengthening your legs also helps to build your lower core – an essential for a perfected golf swing!
