Using a golf exercise dvd is a great alternative to going to a gym or just relying on yourself for motivation and consistency. Golfers are now finally realizing that exercise dvds aren't just for the ladies anymore.

The dvd craze has caught on with golfers of all ages and abilities. Golf instruction dvds have been very popular, but now golf exercise dvds are coming into their own.

What you should look for in a golf exercise dvd is several things. Simple and easy demonstrations of every golf exercise. This is separate from the workout component of the golf exercise dvd. You want a menu that is user-friendly and easy to move around to the different sections of the golf exercise dvd.

The most important component is the golf exercise workout itself. What I'm referring to is 'plug-and-play'. You should be able to insert the golf exercise dvd and have the golf fitness trainer take you through the entire workout from start to finish. Just as if he were there with you.

My wife and I have seen hundreds of exercise dvds that do not take you through the entire routine. They are pieced together and leave you trying to figure out what to do with it.

Be wary of a 'one-size-fits-all' approach. This is not what you want. You want to be lead through a golf exercise routine that is suitable for your current level of fitness, age and abilities.

If your starting point is a little lower, then a golf fitness dvd that is more challenging will only promote you to fail. I've seen this time and time again.

On the other hand, if you are an experienced exerciser, you want a golf exercise dvd that is more challenging than a beginner (novice) one. One that will challenge your core stabilization, balance, coordination and muscular endurance.

This may sound like a lot to think about, but making the right choice will dictate the ultimate success of your program. So make sure to thoroughly read over all the information pertaining to that golf exercise dvd.
