Fitness Training for Golf
To play golf well requires good core strength to ensure a strong drive. The twisting motion of a golf-swing can set you up for injury if your abdominal and lower back muscles are not strong. Golf requires you to accelerate a weight (ie various weights of golf club) to over 100mph, and then control its deceleration. Why not hire a personal trainer in London who can help you strengthen your abs and lower back? It's worth doing all you can to prevent lower back pain.
If you want to train alone, remember that your core consists of your glutes (your bum muscles), your abdominals (rectus abdominus, obliques, transverse abdominus; each require different exercises), and your lower back muscles (both the lumbar muscles and the spinal erectors all the way up your back). The forces generated when you drive a golf ball are strong enough to tear spinal ligaments and fibres of your spinal discs, if you don't have sufficient core strength, particularly in the spinal erectors.

Anyone who has suffered golfer's elbow will tell you that muscular strength and flexibility around the elbow joint - and of course good technique in your golf swing - are a good insurance against injury. The technical names for golfer's elbow are medial epicondylitis, and medial elbow tendinosis. Medial means the inner side of the joint. Epicondylitis comes from the word epicondyle, which is where muscles attach to the bone by tendons.
In the case of golfer's elbow, it's the forearm muscles that are the cause of the pain, particularly the muscles that flex the arm at the elbow.
If you're a right-handed golfer, you may be unlucky enough to suffer both tennis elbow in the left elbow (of the leading arm), and golfer's elbow in the right elbow (of the following arm).
So make sure your fitness regime includes exercises that strengthen all your arm muscles, including biceps, triceps and forearms (both the flexors and extensors). And as well as strength, make sure you stretch the muscles of the arms to ensure good flexibility.
