Besides some exterior exercises like Yoga, golfers should improve their own physical attribute as well. Arm and shoulder are two important aspects.
Strong arms and shoulders can improve your golf swing. If you are too weak to lift your golf clubs, how could you say you are a golfer? Nomatther you are pro or amateur. Do exercises three days a week to improve strength. Do two sets of 12 to 20 repetitions to improve strength without bulking up.
Lateral Raise
The lateral raise exercise works the middle portion of your shoulder muscle. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and hold a dumbbell in each hand at your sides. Your arms are straight and your palms will be turned inward toward your legs. Raise your arms to shoulder height but do not lift them higher. Bring your arms back to your sides in a controlled motion to finish one rep.
Reverse Fly or Bent Over Lateral Raise
The reverse fly exercise strengthens the rear portion of the shoulder. Stand with your feet hip-width apart and bend over at the waist. Hold a dumbbell in each hand with your elbows slightly bent. Bring your palms together in front of your thighs. Open your arms straight to your sides and pull your shoulders back. Bring your hands back together in the starting position.
Shoulder Flexion
The shoulder flexion exercise will strengthen the front of your shoulder. You can use two dumbbells or a barbell. Hold your arms in front of you straight with your palms facing down. Either have a dumbbell in each hand or hold a barbell with both, shoulder-width apart. Raise your arms straight in front of you to shoulder height, no higher. Bring your arms down straight to your legs to finish the exercise.
Biceps Curls
Biceps curls are a basic exercise to strengthen the front of your arm, working the biceps and forearm muscles. Stand or sit holding a dumbbell in each hand or a barbell with your hands shoulder-width apart and your palms facing up. Bend your elbows and bring your hands toward your shoulders. Straighten your arms to finish the rep.

If you are looking to improve your golf swing power, you must focus on increasing the strength and flexibility of your golf muscles. Please, it’s golf muscle. In fact, this is one of the quickest ways to not only improve your driving distance, but eliminate pain and injury from your golf game.
The muscles you should focus on for power are the rear shoulder muscles, especially of the lead shoulder; your core muscles; and lower back ones. These are the key areas that will add power and eliminate pain. Playing pain-free golf is only a dream for many golfers, but if you do the right golf-specific training exercises, you can and will play pain-free golf.
Another muscle group to focus on is the hamstrings. They are responsible for helping you stay in your golf posture, and keeping straing off your lower back. Tight and weak hamstrings are a combination for long-term back pain and inconsistent golf.
Golf is physical. Did you know that over 80% of all golfers play with some form of back pain? The golf swing is brutal on your body if you’re in poor physical condition. Strengthening and stretching your muscles can actually cure low back pain in golf. Just imagine swinging a 3 foot long implement (discount golf clubs) at over 100 mph. Do you think there might be some stress and trauma on the body? You better believe it!
Prepare your body, and you can expect great results. Ignore your body and you will play in pain for years to come.

Golf exercises help golfers build the muscles involved with golf swing, and also improve your general fitness level. In a word, proper exercises benefit you a lot. Here are some of them.
Walking
Walking is great for your heart as well as your muscles. Skip the golf cart and walk the entire eighteen holes, carrying your own bag, to develop both your cardiovascular system and your major muscle groups.
Stretching
Stretching is often overlooked by golfers, but it shouldn’t be. Stretching beforehand warms your muscles up, meaning you’ll be able to play at an optimum level earlier. Have you ever noticed that your game improves as the day goes on? Any golf trainer would tell you to speed this up with some simple golf exercises like arm stretching. Don’t neglect your legs; all the walking you’ll be doing may cause your legs to tighten if they’re not properly stretched.
Standing Twist With Golf Club
The Standing Twist will help you develop your core. A strong core means you’ll be able to put more power into your swing. To do the Standing Twist, keep your feet hip-width apart and hold the cheap golf clubs chest-high. Rotate the club back and forth slowly, concentrating on your core. This is one of the best golf exercises you can do.
Backswing With Club or Weights
This is an exercise you can do on the course with your discount golf clubs, or at home with weights. To do this on the course, simply perform your backswing slowly, tightening your core and concentrating on the way your muscles move. The slower movement of a function you typically do will make your muscles work harder, strengthening them.
Lunges
Lunges are a popular (though often hated) exercise which develop strong leg muscles. To do a lunge, start with your feet hip-width apart. Take a step forward with one leg, bending at the knee. Your other knee should just about touch the ground. Hold for one second before coming back up.
You can do these golf exercises at home, slowly perform your backswing while holding a weight. The idea behind this is the same; you’re working the muscles you typically use when performing your backswing.
