Balance Training With the BOSU Ball
The theme of this week's (March 4) issue of Golfweek magazine is fitness for golfers. The cover story -- Love the Burn -- features Davis Love and his trainer Randy Myers of the Titleist Performance Institute.

After years at PGA National in south Florida, Myers began his program at Sea Island last June. It focuses on maintaining the heart rate through a series of exercises that are designed to increase balance and core stability first and build muscle almost as an afterthought. The highlight of the workout is what Myers calls the "Big 60." The program features six exercises with 10 reps per position performed while standing on a BOSU ball. The article is illustrated with a photo of Love standing one-legged on a BOSU ball with dumbells.

"The new age of training is to position yourself in balanced patterns and work that into the golf swing."

-- Randy Myers
