Golf exercise equipment may be a variety of pieces; but what truly is golf exercise equipment?

Youd be surprised to find out it is not expensive; and is not necessarily in a gym or health club either.

Yesthere are golf machines for stretching and strength building that are well over one thousand dollars, but are definitely not needed.

When you think of the golf swing, its a dynamic movement completed in space with your whole body. So any kind of training or golf exercise equipment should be able to accommodate this.

For starters, a pair of hand weights (dumbbells) are inexpensive, portable and may be used for dozens of golf-defined exercises. They dont have to be heavy or cumbersome. Youd be surprised what a 5 to 8 pound pair of dumbbells may accomplish with the right golf exercises.

Next on the list of golf exercise equipment is tubing. You might have seen it in articles, on the television or in a catalog. Exercise tubing is extremely portable, very inexpensive and also may be used to mimic many phases of the golf swing, but with resistance.

I personally use exercise tubing in all of my programs, with all of my personal clients and in my own golf workouts. It may give you one heck of a workout if you have the right resistance. These bands come in varying tensions from light to excess heavy.

Another piece of golf exercise equipment is a stability ball. Its the big beach ball looking thing that is used in offices to sit on, in many exercise classes, at most health clubs and all of the physical therapy clinics.

Why? Because again its portable, inexpensive and very versatile. Doing golf exercises on the ball add core stabilization, balance and stability. All important factors in a mechanically sound golf swing.

And the last piece of golf exercise equipment is the weighted medicine ball. You might remember them from several decades ago as the big leather balls that the old fitness fanatics used to improve strength and power.

Well now theyre back! They are used in every sport-defined strength code in existence. You can do so many sport-like movements with them and they weigh as much as 20 pounds, so you can imagine the benefit from a power standpoint.

I have a couple of my bread-and-butter exercises I use in all my programs that add the weighted medicine ball and they are very good.

So there you have it! Three or four pieces of inexpensive and portable golf exercise equipment.
