Fitness has become "all the rage" in the golf world. Tiger Woods has set the benchmark and golfers around the world are now trying to catch-up. There is no denying that a strong, athletic body will consistently perform better than an unfit one. The key to fitness for golf is choosing the correct program and sticking to it.

Combining core strength, flexibility, strength training and cardiovascular training will enable a golfer to not only elevate his or her physical game but his or her mental game.

I have found the best material to be Core Performance by Mark Verstegen. Verstegen focuses on a 12 week program incorporating movement preparation, pre-hab, use of the physioball, elasticity, strength training, energy system development and regeneration. Through this integrated lifestyle program based on cutting-edge training methods and nutritional research, an athlete is well on the way to developing all the tools required to reach his or her full potential.
