Exercise and Fitness for Golfing
No golfer can afford to ignore golf exercise and fitness programs which have become part and parcel of the modern golf game.
There are actually several reasons why it is good idea to pay attention to golf exercise and fitness.
The era of golf exercise and fitness, as well as golf-specific conditioning programs were ushered in by golfers like Tiger Woods and Annika Sorendstam for the women.
Never before had the world witnessed such physically fit professional golfers who were involved in regular exercise programs and who played the game while in superior physical condition.
Admittedly this new breed of golfers went against the grain. For years the game of golf has been viewed as a luxurious leisure sport where correct golf technique was much more important than exercises and muscle conditioning.
This image has changed literally overnight in golf courses around the world because of the tremendous and awesome impact the new breed of golfers like Tiger Woods brought into the game.
The truth of the matter is that more and more golfers are involved in golf exercise and fitness workouts. But be careful. There are many fitness professionals who have no background in golf, but realize the market for golf fitness and say they have ‘golf-specific’ training programs only to apply general fitness (machine training) to your golf improvement program.
These types of programs will not prepare your body to play your best golf. The training for golf is completely different and should be done by a qualified and certified golf fitness professional.
The easiest way to tell if a fitness professional knows golf is to ask a few golf technique questions to test their knowledge. If they hesitate or cannot answer these basic questions…run! Do not work with them.
A credible and qualified golf fitness professional will apply golf exercise and fitness tips and techniques that will improve your current physical limitations, which will enable you to perform a repeatedly sound mechanically golf swing for 18 holes.
Another added benefit of a golf exercise and fitness program is injury prevention. Statistics have shown that over 80% of all amatuer golfers have played with some kind of injury at one point in the golfing career.
The most common golf injuries is the low back, elbow and shoulders. These injuries are caused completely be a physically declining strength and flexibility and can easily be avoided with a proper golf exercise and fitness program.
The only downfall is the expense. You’re looking at to 0 per session. That is exactly why I put together the first online golf training performance program over 5 years ago. To make it affordable and easy-to-do right off your computer and in your home saving time and money.
You can view online video demonstrations of every exercise, with easy-to-understand step-by-step instructions that can be printed off for ease of use. There is even a complete section on golf performance issues like driving distance, consistency, mental golf, putting and motivation.
Understanding how your body is positively or negatively affecting your game is the first step in realizing how a golf exercise and fitness program can literally change your game overnight!

Stair Exercises for Fitness and Weight Loss
For more than 20 years as an athlete and coach, I had used stair workouts with great success. So, when I first came across Virgil Aponte’s information, I thought that I knew everything there was to know about stair training. What could a P.E. teacher from New York City possibly teach me anyway&
But, the more I read information from Mr. Aponte, the more I became impressed with what he had to say. So impressed, that I decided to give his Ultimate Stair Exercises For Fitness and Weight Loss a fair shot. Good decision on my part.
First, let me tell you that Virgil is far more than your average, ordinary gym teacher. He has also worked as a personal trainer in New York City for over 12 years and a high school physical educator for over 10 years. During these years he has helped hundreds of people from all walks of life reach their strength, fitness and health related goals.
Not only that, but in 2001 Virgil served as a baseball/conditioning coach with the New York Mets Summer Instructional Baseball Academy in Queens New York. Here he got the opportunity to work along side major league baseball coaches and players like Mookie Wilson, Howard Johnson, Bobby Ojeda and Cookie Rojas teaching baseball skills and concepts to kids ranging from 7 to 15 year olds.
Plus, in 2002 Virgil served as an assistant with the WNBA New York Liberty’s strength and conditioning staff? the same year the Liberty won the Eastern Conference Finals and played the Los Angeles Sparks in the WNBA finals. This background and experience come across in Virgil’s stair training product.
Here are the top 3 reasons that I recommend it.
1. I was very happy to find out that Mr. Aponte is a believer in using “real stairs” whenever possible ? not jump on the latest and greatest stair climbing machine at the gym. Like me, Virgil says that these machines are O.K., but won’t give you the same results as actually moving your body weight up a real flight of steps. The experience just doesn’t compare ? and neither do the results. For weight loss, muscle building, cardiovascular fitness, functional strength (or all of the above) these workouts will get you where you want to go.
2. The progressions demonstrated on Mr. Aponte’s DVD’s also impressed me. This makes the exercises powerful for you no matter what your current state of fitness. Whether you’re trying to get into shape or already performing at a high level, there are stair exercises to take you that next step. Young and old, man or woman, the progressions can move you safely from beginner to advanced ? continuing to challenge you as you reach new levels of success.
3. Finally, there is enough variety in the Ultimate Stair Exercises For Fitness and Weight Loss program to keep your workouts motivational and fun for a very long time. Runs, hops, jumps, lunges in a huge number of variations and difficulty levels are presented in easy to follow demonstrations by Mr. Aponte himself. (He even includes one of my all-time favorite exercises ? the stage jump – not to be confused with the stage dive?). The detail is at just the right level ? giving you information on why you should use proper techniques without getting too bogged down in boring, scientific details?
All in all, I believe the Virgil Aponte has succeeded with this product to fulfill his mission of giving and sharing knowledge of strength and health with people anywhere and everywhere. If you’re looking for “real world” exercises that work (and can be done in just a few minutes just about any place you’ve got a couple of stairs), then I highly recommend you give the Ultimate Stair Exercises For Fitness and Weight Loss program a try.
