Golf Resistance Training - Helping To Make You A Better Player
Being a good golfer requires a good level of fitness. Remember,
there are 18 long holes you have to play! Thats a lot of
walking, and swinging and carrying of your bags. If you really
want to improve your score, enjoy the game more and in general
feel fitter and healthier, then you need to conside golf
resistance training. Regardless of your age, if you start to use
resistance traiing on a regular basis, this can help you get
into better shape and even help stave off disease.
For the golfers who want to add more power to their swing,
whilst also giving their stamina and endurance a boost to
complete all the 18 holes should consider resistance training,
also known as strength training. This is also a great way to
loosen up muscles, preventing injury whilst out there on the
golf course. Resistance training simply involves lifting weights
or working out with the resistance machines at a gym. If you
want to, you can also do the resistance training at home, just
by using everyday items that you already own.
To begin with, it is important that you speak with a doctor
before undergoing any form of extra excercise. Put simply,
resistance training, as previously described should be
considered as "strong medicine", if only because you could hurt
yourself if you are unsure of what you're doing or you aren't
sure of what level you should undertake when you are working
out. Providing your doctor, once you have been checked out,
gives you the go ahead, you have another important decision to
make.
To join a gym or not to join a gym?
This problem can be solved very easily with a little leg work,
so to speak. Find out where the gyms in your local area are
situated, then try to visit each one of them. Most gyms will
offer a free tour, possibly even a free workout to make sure
that they offer the right facilities and equipment for your
needs. By taking advantage of the different offers that each gym
makes before you join, it will allow you to asses which, if any,
is the right gym for you.
If you decide that you don't feel comfortable joining a gym and
wouldn't like to be attending on a regular basis, or if you
don't want to be paying the monthly fees for the membership then
you could also consider working out at home by doing the golf
resistance training their instead.
You may want to make the initial one off investment of buying
dumbbells and gym equipment that you could set up in a spare
room, therefore eliminating the need for an ongoing monthly
payment to the gym. To begin with, though, you may not even need
to
purchase any of these to do your resistance training.
One example of a great excercise for your legs involves just
squatting down. This particularly, will work the backs of your
legs. Using just the wall for support to lean against, or do it
in the middle of the room if you so wish, for a harder work out.
Start by placing your hands on your hips, your feet slightly
apart, lining up directly under your shoulders.Lower your body
down, as far as is comfortable or until your thighs are at a 90
degree angle to the floor, bending you knees, whilst keeping
your back straight. Then push up slowly. Repeat until you feel
it is starting to work the muscles in your legs.
Another resistance training excercise for golfers is to use a
chair. Sit on the chair, scoot the front seat whilst keeping
your back straight. Then with one foot firmly placed on the
floor, straighten your other leg until it is now horizontal,
stretched out, parallel to the ground. Now repeat this excercise
with the other leg, giving both legs a thorough resistance
training work out.
A simple resistance training excercise for your arms involves
using just 2 cans or beans or soup, or what ever you have at
home in your cupboards. Sitting on a chair, with your arms
resting relaxed at your sides, a can in each hand, slowly raise
your arms, in an arc like direction. Moving your arms upwards
and outwards, stretched away from you, until they are now
parallel with the ground, pointing away from your shoulders. Now
slowly lower them down and repeat.
If you wanted to work both legs and arms at the same time.
Simply do both squats and arm raises at the same time. Standing
in the middle of the room, with your arms by your sides and a
can in each arm, begin to squat as described earlier, whilst
lowering your body down, being to raise your arms. This should
result in your arms being parellel with the ground at the same
moment as you are squated down. Slowly raise your body and lower
your arms at the same time. This should also result in increased
focus, co-ordination, as well as increased muscle strength.
