Moderate Intensity

Start your golf-fitness journey with this opening workout from Ellis’ exercise series. Begin with his dynamic stretches that increase hip and spine mobility, both of which are key for good golf posture and body rotation. Then, follow along with his speed drills to train a faster swing. Finish with a few of Ellis’ full-body exercises that strengthen the arms, core and lower body.

Higher Intensity

This mid-week workout is all about fewer reps at a higher intensity. Warm-up with Ellis’ exercises that target T-Spine mobility and injury prevention. Increase your explosiveness with his agility and strength exercises that teach you to use the ground for power. Complete this workout with Ellis’ conditioning circuit to build your endurance for the course.

Lower Intensity

Recovery is a key part of any fitness regimen. That’s why the final workout in this series is the lowest intensity and focused heavily on mobility and stability. Ellis starts with low-impact exercises and gradually blends dynamic movements with some strength training. Don’t let the name fool you, though. These low-intensity moves will still challenge your fitness, as they get you ready to play.
