Program Overview

The 5-Minute A Day Dumbbells Program is designed for golfers who want quick, simple workouts using just one or two dumbbells.

The goal of this program is to complete a 5-minute workout every day. There are 7 different sessions, and by rotating through them you cover all the major muscle groups and movement patterns.

These workouts are ideal on busy days, before practice, or as a way to stay consistent when you don’t have time for a full training session. Dumbbells make it easy to get a good strength workout in a very short window, and the sessions require no warm-up or equipment changes. They help maintain mobility, strength, and power year-round, and they’re perfect when time or energy is limited.

Program FAQs

Are these workouts enough on their own?

They’re excellent for building the habit of training, and you can make progress with them for a while. Eventually, I recommend progressing to a more structured program.


What dumbbells do I need?

Can I do these every day?

Yes — that’s the design. The low fatigue makes daily sessions easy.


Can I do more than one session per day if I have time?

Yes, absolutely.


Can I pair this with swing speed training?

Yes. These low-fatigue sessions pair extremely well with Swing Speed Training – The Fit For Golf Guide.


I'm not sure if this is the best program for me.

Fit For Golf App Reviews

Over 9 months, I’ve completed the Mass Prep, Mass, Force, and Velocity programs—and the results have been remarkable. My driver speed has gone from about 102 mph to 110+mph, with carries increasing from 255 to over 270 yards. My handicap dropped from 8.7 to 6.2, and my ball striking is far more consistent.

Since using the app I have, Increased my lean mass by 8kg / 18lbs. Increased my average club head speed from 97mph to 110mph. Lowered my handicap from 24 to 14. Had zero injuries.

This is the best app on the market and I have no doubt I will make further gains. Thanks for answering questions I’ve had so quickly!

Since I started I have gotten much stronger and lost 50 pounds. I don’t need pain meds for joint and back pain anymore. I have seen an increase in my swing speed and hitting the ball about 10 yards farther. I have more energy and don’t feel tired at the end of a round.
