I would recommend exercises that use lower weights on unstable surfaces like a gym ball, slant boards, etc. This will help with balance by working out your propreoceptors and the brains response which is dynamic and not sitting on a bench pushing weights up into the air.
The question to me comes down to "Do you want to look fit or be fit?" Weight lifting makes great looking bodies but does little to help the body perform. |
My coach actually used that golf workout to base off of. I do some of it on stability balls to work on like you said the coordination and flexibility. I dont use very heavy weights, im lifting for endurance, not bulk.
(Also lifting to work off xmas
