Swing Flexibility Exercises That

Golf
swing flexibility exercises that are
the most effective are not what you
read in all the “so-called”
fitness for golf books. I make this
bold statement because I bought every
golf fitness book and was so
disappointed I wrote my own Ultimate
Golf Fitness Manual.
What I didn’t see in most of these
books was dynamic (movement)
stretches, especially for core
flexibility. The golf swing is a
rotation, therefore it only makes
sense to incorporate as many core
rotational movements, stretches and
exercises into your routine as
possible.
This is more prevalent in the senior
golfer. He/she has lost a large amount
of core rotation and in return massive
yards off the tee. That’s the
biggest complaint I hear among senior
golfers is their lack of distance off
the tee.
But, what’s frustrating for me is
that same golfer will buy more
equipment, take more lessons and hit
more balls and not see improvement.
This is because the “root cause”
has still not been approached.
Until you fix the “machine”, you
will not see improvement. Your
body’s physical capabilities dictate
your golf swing efficiency and power.
Until you realize this and make the
commitment to improve this, you’ll
continue to be a very frustrated
golfer.
The great thing about golf swing
flexibility exercises are they don’t
require any equipment and can be done
anywhere. In your office…at your
home…even on the golf course. There
is no reason (excuse) not to
participate in a golf swing
flexibility exercise program.
If time is a valuable commodity you
don’t have a lot of, then doing just
3-4 rotational stretches daily and
you’ll see a huge difference in your
power and distance.
There is only an “upside” to doing
it.
How about adding 30 yards to your
drives? No more back pain? Feeling
like your 20 years younger and playing
like it too?
I could go on and on about the
benefits, but you’ve got to believe
it and do it.
Just remember the golf swing is a
rotational movement, so you should
train your body from a rotational
strength and flexibility standpoint.
Taking this concise and yet effective
approach will give you the quickest
results from your golf swing
flexibility exercises.
