Interval Training

[Jim Blackwell]

I practise interval training when I run and do weights. I find that this improves my my overall conditioning much faster than a normal routine.Has any one heard of interval traing for golf. Any drills, theories, or programs that,when applied, will help you get a better swing faster. Thanks.

If you can describe interval training a little bit more indepth, so we are both on the same page. But Coach John Davies has a book out "Renegade Training for Golf", that I hear produces mighty results. I have not tried it personally, but have tried other programs by him. If you really want to improve your fitness and are willing to put forth the effort, then I say buy renegade training. If you are not willing to go above what the golf channel would have you think as fitness, the Coach Davies is not then person you want to be looking into, way to hardcore.

Zarro: Thank you. I will get that book. Interval Training is fast then slow, then fast then slow. In other words, you run fast for 1 minute, then slow for 2 minutes, then repeat.It is the best way I know how to build conditioning.

That's what I thought it was, I'm just checking. I'm equal parts golf nut and gym addict, I've found interval training works great for running too. I think everyone could benefit from a basic strength program though. The Davies stuff kicked my butt. I don't know if this is true with his golf book, but I know that most of the programs he writes are supposed to be done very very quickly. So like under 45 minutes in the gym. But change, at least in training, is what allows one to keep progressing, so even if you don't buy the Davies golf book, change your routine every 4 weeks or so.
