Strength Training For Golf � No Gym Required
Strength training for golf is viewed by golfers as a lot of work, time-consuming, boring and you need a gym membership to do it. None of the above is true, and if you read this article, I�ll explain why.
You see� strength training for golf isn�t on machines anyways� so that eliminates the requirement of a gym. All you need is a pair of handweights, exercise tubing and a stability ball and you�ve got your entire �in-home� golf fitness gym.
It�s not a lot of work, if you pick and choose the area you want to focus on. It�s not time-consuming if you do it in the convenience of your home, and have a plan of action. And lastly, it can be a lot of fun, when you use bands, exercise balls and training equipment specific to golf.
There many �so-called� strength training for golf programs, but when you take a look at them, you�ll see pictures of golfers sitting on their butts in a machine. I don�t know about you, but I think golf is done �on your feet�, right?
Strength training for golf is becoming �mainstream� with the golfing community. We see and hear all the pros doing it and playing their best golf; so why wouldn�t we amateurs do it also?
There are so many reasons why to participate in a strength training for golf program, that you can�t overlook it and say you don�t need it.
Lacking power in your swing? It�s because your body can�t produce any stored energy from a full backswing with torque in your core. That�s a �physical� issue, not mechanical.
Is your golf swing inconsistent from one swing to the next? Swing faults originate from some deeper physical limitation that�s not allowing you to make a
mechanically sound and repeatable swing. How many times have you taken a lesson and heard your pro say, �you need to make a full backswing�, but you just can�t physically do it? That�s a �physical� issue, not mechanical.
How about injuries? Do you have one at the moment? The golf swing is physically damaging to the body if you don�t have enough strength and flexibility to withstand the force the golf swing puts on it. Swinging a 3 foot long lever (club) at up to 90 mph is unbelievably stressful on the joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles of the body. That�s a �physical� issue, not mechanical.
I could go on and on, but I think you might get the idea by now.
Strength training for golf may be your �missing link� to your best game ever! If you�ve tried all the �other� methods, this is the ONLY one left. Why wouldn�t you explore the possibilities a little more?
If you�re looking to add power to your golf swing; improve your consistency; and prevent golf injuries, then you�ve got to consider strength training for golf.
