As I was working out this morning, I started remembering some of the tips I've read on here to help you out on your golf game, but then I started thinking to myself if there are any excercises to avoid that would hurt your game.
Is there anything out there that you've read, heard about, or experienced that we should avoid when putting together our workout routine? |

there aren't any exercises you should avoid. a few cautions maybe. if you aren't in an overall 'fit' state, you should probably talk to a doctor before hand. (I hate using the word fit as it's too subjective)
another thing to keep in mind. swing a club or hit balls on a regular basis. this should keep your swing somewhat grooved. I know some people seem to believe that changing their body shape will severely alter their swing. |

lift weights
other than HGH Tiger and maybe Villegas, golfers shouldn't lift weights too much, for those things overdone can kill flexibility. my bet is you can lift weights up to a point and be fine. seems like longnecks are more fun to lift, though ... |

It's o.k. to lift. I do it. It helps in flexibility if done correctly. I wouldn't suggest that you try to catch up on the lost time all in one week or the lactic acid build up will hinder your flexibilityfor several weeks. Ease into it. Something I do that is simple is using a broom stick across the back of my shoulder blades and arms spread on the broom stick. Simply rotate your torso to the left and hold for 10 seconds then come back to a neutral position. Repeat 10 or 15 times, then do it to the right side. This will help in flexibility issues and strengthen your core slightly wich is the main portion of a good golf swing. Simple and not to stressing on the body. cool. I was actually doing this same excerise this morning. |

The #1 most important thing not to do when working out is this...
... ... ... ... ... ... ... Don't get hurt! I'm serious. Isn't it true that the worst thing that can happen from our perspective is anything that prevents us from playing? A boatload of safety and injury prevention tips arise out of this one thing. |
