Learn How Exercises For Golfers Can Really Pay Off

Exercises for golfers may seem like the strangest thing you could ever do to improve your golf swing and game; but I'm here to tell they are most definitely not.

To hit the ball maximum distance, your body has to have strength and flexibility very specific to the game and sport of golf.

To play your best golf you need to implement exercises specific to golfers as soon as possible. The sooner you start, the sooner you will see results on the course.

"But I don't belong to a gym?"

So what's the difference between going to the gym and plopping down on machines and doing exercises for golfers? First off...do you sit when you play golf? I'm not talking about the times chatting with the beer girl...I'm talking about actually playing. If not...then why would you sit during an exercise thinking it will improve your golf game and ability on the course? Golf is played"on your feet" and in a dynamic body posture, unless your playing NASCAR golf and holding on for dear life.

Because the demands for golf are so unique, you need to approach your golf improvement from a different angle than just going into a gym and thinking it will help your golf game. In fact, golf exercise equipment can be as simple as a stability ball, tubing, and hand weights.

Golf stretching without golf exercise is no good

Whenever I hear a golfer say he/she needs to stretch more...my first thought is...they are missing the boat. Golf stretching without specific exercise for golf never produces permanent flexibility which actually helps your game. Let me give you an example...

Stretch a rubber band. Now stretch it more and more. What happens to the rubber band? It gets brittle and eventually breaks.

Picture your muscles just like that rubber band.

The winning combination is golf exercise and golf stretching . This will give you the best results.

Your golf exercise program should incorporate your golf position

When putting together your exercises for golfers program, take a look at the body position required to make a mechanically sound swing.

Once you realize this dynamic and very unique position, you can do golf exercises specific to this position.

Things to remember.

• Do the majority of your golf exercises on your feet.
• Do them in your golf posture if at all possible.
• Keep your knees flexed, just like your golf swing.
• Do as many rotational exercises as possible.
• Make sure to do the follow through side of the swing.
• Do a high enough repetition to promote golf muscular endurance.

Envision a powerful golf tee shot

Staying motivated by picturing the "end-result" on the course will be a huge help. Envision you on that first tee a more powerful and fit golfer. Picture blasting your drives by all your playing partners. And lastly, paint a strong visual of you having the lowest score consistently when you play in your normal golf groups.

I hope you now have a better understanding of how exercises specific to golfers can really make a difference.
