I don't want you to think of "work" when you hear the term golf workouts. It's not! I do my very best to inform golfers that it can be as hard or as easy as you want it to be. The bottom line is doing something! Anything! Something is better than nothing right? I also want you to realize the workouts for golf I'm talking about are done in your home with minimal equipment. That's right...in the convenience of your home without 'breaking the bank" for the equipment needed. Golf Workouts The Pros DoThe list of PGA, LPGA and Senior PGA players who workout for golf is growing by the day! They now realize that to compete every week at a high level they need to be golf fit! This is the ONLY way they can maintain their energy and prevent injury. The top players like Tiger, Vijay, Adam Scott and others are religious about their training. They all do it right through the week of a tournament. Tigers golf workout is with a private trainer who travels the tour with him. Wouldn't that be nice? Decline In Performance Can Be PreventedWith age comes a decline in both flexibility and strength. When the body declines, the swing goes right along with it. The result is a big loss in yardage, more mishits, and ballooning scores. The end result...frustration! I can't tell you how many times I've played with and received phone calls from older golfers who are just about ready to quit the game. Older golfers can reverse the decline of their golf performance and fitness. They are SO frustrated at this rapid decline, that golf is not fun anymore. But there is hope. The answer? Get your body moving just a little better. How? By participating in golf workouts that focus on golf-specific strength AND flexibility. It's amazing to see golfers in this age bracket dramatically improve their driving distance, accuracy and scores. This decline can be avoided for many years by doing workouts for golf! I'm not saying you'll be 85 and playing like you were when you were 20...but it can be a lot better than it is right now! Golf workouts incorporate simple and easy golf stretching and strength exercise.
Your golf swing is rotational!The golf swing is a rotational movement, with your body in golf posture. Slight flex of the knees and a bending forward at the hips. Since the golf swing is primarily rotational, wouldn't it make sense to focus on rotational strength and flexibility? That is improving your turning ability related to range of motion and speed. Do you want a golf workout tip? Anything involving twisting with resistance such as a medicine ball, a dumbbell, or even a weighted golf club would work. You need to have a resistance to take your body beyond where it normally goes. All your core golf exercises should incorporate rotation! In fact, most of your core exercises should be rotational. Doing straight situps won't improve your power or distance. Doing rotational movements with added weight will. Golf Workout DVDs To Guide You AlongThere is so much confusion out there as to what type of workout for golf a golfer should do, that I produced my Golf Fitness System a couple of years ago to help. These DVDs and Manual will take you by the hand with simple exercises, stretches, tips and techniques to transform your golf swing! Mike Pedersen |
