[Daina Wasserstrom](http://www.mindbodygreen.com/wc/daina-wasserstrom) wrote a fantastic blog post entitled [3 Ways Yoga Can Improve Your Golf Game](http://www.mindbodygreen.com/0-5716/3-Ways-Yoga-Can-Improve-Your-Golf-Game.html).  A fantastic read, Daina explains the similarities between yoga and golf.  Both practices require focus and concentration.  Practicing yoga can increase your flexibility, core strength and  balance.

Another great article from [About.com](http://golf.about.com/od/fitnesshealth/ss/hipsweightshift.htm?utm_source=pinterest&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=shareurlbuttons_nip#step1) gives step by step instructions on how to strengthen your hips.  We all know how key hip movement is for a great swing!

Weight training is also a great idea for the golfer.  Using a basic kettlebell, this blog post on [golffitnessandtrainingtips.com](http://www.golf-fitness-and-training-tips.com/kettlebell-exercises-basic.html#sthash.lCTCk33h.dpbs) can show you easy exercises you can do at home to improve your swing!

Use the off-season here in New England to stay in shape so you can hit the links with confidence this Spring!
