Welcome to the strength training for disc golfers!

Remember that there is always the possibility of injury when you do physical exercise. If you feel any pain with these exercises, please ease off. If you have never exercised then normal muscle fatique is expected but that is a sign of growth.

In this segment, we train our upper body muscles to be better suited for disc golf.

First we look at the muscle group called the rotator cuff that rotates our upper arm bone a.k.a. humerus. Very important for all of the throws in disc golf.

Here is a quick tip on exercising with the resistance band to get the best results.

Then we exercise the muscle group. This will be the way for the course.

Here we isolate the triceps muscle which extends our arm and is one of the muscles involved in a backhand throw. We use the resistance band in this one as well.

Let's put the triceps to work!

The biceps muscle is not directly active in any throwing technique but is balancing the other muscles and definitely gets a lot of work when we pick up our bag on the course.

Let's use that resistance band again to exercise the biceps muscle.

The other way to exercise the muscles around the shoulder is the retractive motion that is common with the backhand throw. We use the bow and arrow movement with a resistance band to do this.

Let's exercise the bow and arrow together!

Horizontal row is a good posture activator and a sweet alternative for the bow and arrow exercise. It also activates the back differently, so it's good to do both to get that extra muscular stability for those backhand drives!

Here Jennifer Allen gives you a quick tip on the horizontal row exercise and how to get the most out of your exercise.

Let's do the orizontal row together!

For the full upper body exercise routine, follow this lesson! Here we have all of the upper body exercises as an easy to follow routine. Please check the lessons so you know how to do the exercises!

In this segment, we train our lower body muscles to be better suited for disc golf.

Next we're going to learn a proper and a safe way to do a squat.

Let's do 2 sets of 15 squats together. You're going to feel the burn!

Let's change it up a bit and add weighted lateral raises to go with those squats.
