Mar 14th 2008 Healthy Golf – Fitness Training Will Improve Your Game

Whether you are just getting started with golf, or you are a seasoned player just finishing the off-season, here are some fitness ideas to help your conditioning for the game of golf.

The first thing you have to work on for golf fitness is your flexibility. Which makes sense, because in order to execute your golf swing correctly you have to develop the range of motions within your joints and muscles. Flexibility exercises should be done no less than four days a week. So that the exercises can be done correctly, allow ten to fifteen per session. Make sure you pay very close attention to your technique. If you aren’t doing your exercises correctly, then you won’t be doing any good for your golf game. And, finally, it’s always recommended to check with a doctor or physician before starting any type of exercise program.

You also need to incorporate strength training in your golf fitness program. The important thing with strength training is similarity. You want to do exercises that closely resemble your golf swing or at least a certain phase of it.

Stretching is common in all golfers, especially older players. But it is much different than stretching for a run. You should include mostly rotational stretches in your fitness program for your core, lower back, shoulders and hips. This will certainly improve your game on the course.

Tips For Healthy Golfing

  • It is important to stay healthy for your perfect golf game. Look after yourself and condition properly.
  • Warm up properly with some stretches and practice swings.
  • The sun can be lethal on a warm morning. Protect yourself with sunglasses and sunscreen.
  • As with any outside activity, drink plenty of fluids. Along the course there will probably be several beverage stations, so take advantage of them. And don’t make your beverage of choice an alcoholic one, since alcohol dehydrates.
  • When picking anything up, especially those heavy golf bags, lift with your legs.
  • Golf balls can do a lot of damage if one ever hits you. Be aware of your surroundings and any flying balls.
  • If you have any golf-related injuries, seek a professional’s assistance. You don’t want to injure yourself anymore than necessary.
  • Get off the course immediately if you see lightning anywhere near the golf course.

If you combine your strengthening and stretching exercises then you will be able to get maximum results. For every strength exercise you do, you need a stretch exercise for that muscle you are working.

Another body part that needs to be strengthened for golf is your wrist. Your wrists play an important part in your golf swing. They control the club and provide the power behind your swing. You need to incorporate some wrist strengthening exercises into your program that will strengthen them for their role.

Mar 13th 2008 ‘Golf From the Inside Out’ Training Package

'Golf From the Inside Out' Training Package

‘Golf From the Inside Out’ Training Package
The GOLF FROM THE INSIDE OUT Program was developed by focusing on biofeedback training exercises that help you learn to consistently contract the correct muscles to dynamically stabilize the spine through the swing. This training and conditioning of a player’s joint and muscle control for simultaneous mobility and stability is critical to improving function. Doing this persistently will allow the same body relationship to the ball on each and every stroke, ensuring a consistent swing and a consistent game. This program is not about your golf swing, but improving your game. Until recently, professional golfers were notorious for downplaying the importance of exercise. But with the emergence of Tiger Woods and the focus on his physical strength and conditioning, fitness has begun to play a critical role in the day-to-day routine of many tour players. Many PGA players have hired personal trainers and physical therapists, and can often be found spending as much, if not more time, in the to
