Improve your golf swing with golf specific stretch exercises and fitness training, an approach that may be completely different from what you've been doing...
Do you find yourself thinking about improving your golf swing 24/7? If you're like me. the answer is yes! I find myself thinking about it in the oddest places.
In elevators; while shopping with my wife; doing my cardio workouts; and even driving my car, when I should be thinking about my safety.
Golf Improvement
Many golf improvement programs take the traditional approach. That means taking golf lessons and hitting hundreds of balls. My only question to you is, "did it work"? Did you improve your golf swing long term?
If you've read any of my 250 plus golf swing fitness and training articles on the net, you know what I'm going to say. Here it is, "your body dictates your golfing ability". There is no way to get around it. You are only as good as your body will let you be.
Golf Fitness Training
My approach. that seems to work for golfers of all ages and abilities, is golf swing fitness and exercise training.
Working on your physical limitations to improve your golf swing mechanics and power is the approach most of the players on tour are using. They realize their body's can't keep up without it.
Golf Exercises Specific To Your Golf Swing
Golf exercises that incorporate balance, stability, coordination and dynamic strength will give you the most bang for your buck! Do not go to a gym and use the machines! This will not improve your golf swing or game.
The golf exercises you should be doing are with affordable, in home equipment like a stability ball; medicine ball; exercise tubing, and hand weights. That's your entire golf fitness gym for under $100.
Golf Stretching To Improve Golf Swing Power
When you stretch, you've got to look at the positions your body is put in throughout the golf swing. Take your golf swing and break it up into chunks, and you'll find a stretch for every "chunk" or phase of the golf swing.
Golf stretching should be done several times a week to see fast results! You've got to put your muscles in a slightly uncomfortable stretch repeatedly to see long-term improvement in your golf swing range of motion.
Golf Swing Limitations and Swing Faults
In closing, you must analyze your golf swing and reveal your golf swing limitations. For every physical limitation, there is a golf swing fault or at the least a compensation taking place.
When you take this approach, you will improve golf swing power, swing consistency and overall performance rapidly.
