I just started doing some weight lifting. I'm hesitant to call it that because it's just stretching with 2 lb or 5 lb weights in hand, mostly a matter of laying on my stomach with my arms spread and lifting the weights to strengthen the back.

I am also considering a cleansing diet my daughter is on. Her results are fantastic and if my doctor comes back to say his investigation of the ingredients in the shakes and cleansing drinks are OK, I hope to lose more weight than my lifestyle has let me lose so far. It's called Isagenix, for anyone who might be interested in it.

The main thing is still the walking though. With the speed at which a heavy rain can come through Miami, I've gotten soaked a couple times while I walked, but honestly, it felt good considering the heat.

We have to be careful not to generalize too much when we mention the use of weights particularly or certain exercise equipment. The best exercises for strengthening muscles used in your golf game aren't necessarily the same as what general strength training at a gym would suggest. Bulky muscles in the arms, for example, tend to restrict the swinging motion in ways that are actually counter productive. There's actually a pretty good amount of reading on the web about golf specific exercise and it's worth the time spent looking into it.

I do a series of gym workouts like treadmill and bench press. For an outdoor sport, I hike during summer to keep my limbs awake and toned. I also do flexibility, mechanic and power exercises prior to golf session.

Golf is a easy game it does not require to do a hard exercise for you to make to to much harder fit it just require that you should have a natural fitness so i am using some basic exercise for it.
There they are..
Walking about 2 miles daily.
Running with simple speed just for 20 to 30 minutes.
Swimming in a pole to get the bath.
Cycling just for fun it make you slim and helps to control your weight.
In the morning, morning walk and yoga is perfect one.

I do stretching everyday. It helps the muscles gain permanent flexibility. This helps me swing better.

Stretches is what I do everyday to have a relaxed and flexible body and 4 days a week cardio to get the stamina.

Since I had a skin cancer removed from my back recently, and I get the stitches out tomorrow, I've been thinking about how to get back in shape for golf. I'm hoping the doctor will tell me I can play again with no prospect of opening the incision. I hope it's healed enough.

While also wanting to lose weight, I've been reading a lot on the Titleist fitness site and talking to a chiopractor friend who is a bit of a fitness nut with little time to call his own. He's talking to me about how to maximize my efforts if I only have 30-40 minutes a day, but also has taken into account my age.

One of his first suggestions was to stop thinking that walking my dog was exercise. My little pooch stops to pee on every blade of grass and shuffling and standing weren't exercise the last time I looked. I need to leave the little guy at home and walk as if I'm in a hurry to go somewhere.

His next suggestion was to get some weights around 2 lbs each. If I take them when I walk and just do some lifts out to the side as I walk, it strenthens the big muscles of the back.

The other stuff has been stretching, mostly against some resistance in backswing positions and hitting area positions. For this, I bought an apparatus that goes over a door and has bungee cords attached to a golf grip. You pull against the bungee cords in ways that stretch you further towards a longer backswing or into holding a longer wrist cock. It's easy to do and believe me, I wear myself out with it.

Keep your fingers crossed Thursday around 10:15. That's when the doctor will tell me if I can play again.
