A

Maximum Power

The
perfect lower body golf swing involves
the legs to a very large extent and it
is therefore true to say that exercise
that conditions these parts of the
body will have a positive impact on
the quality of the golf swing.
This truth is obvious when you take a
closer look at the lower body golf
swing. During the backswing, the feet,
knee and hamstring muscles are
extremely important. The rest of the
lower body golf swing movement will
usually require a lot of participation
of the hip and lower back.
Thus no good golf exercise program
designed to improve the golf swing
will avoid the lower back. In fact
some golfers are puzzled at first when
they see some of the golf specific
exercises which concentrate on the
hamstring and lower parts of the body.
They may initially feel that too much
emphasis is being placed on this lower
part of the body. Actually too much
emphasis can hardly be placed on the
lower body when it comes to the golf
swing. This is because that is
precisely where most of the golf
swings happen.
In the past, even when golfers though
of a little exercise, their emphasis
was always on the upper part of the
body, rather than on the lower body,
when thinking about improving their
golf swing.
Times have changed and today every
genuine golf exercise program will
usually place a lot of importance and
emphasis on the muscles on the lower
body for the sake of the golf swing.
These lower body golf swing exercises
will involve both stretching exercises
as well as strength-building exercises
that will usually involve weight
training.
A good program should include a wide
range of different exercise and you
should also be able to use various
golf aid gadgets to correct weaknesses
in your golf swing.
By strengthening your lower body golf
swing you will always feel more
confident and better prepared to
perform a more powerful golf swing.
