Flexibility is key
Look at Tiger Woods and you can see he has been serious about his golf fitness since he joined the PGA Tour. He is living proof that elite golf athletes do exist, and if you want to play your best you need to take some time and put in a little training.
Currently most Professional Golfers are working out and are looking toned and in top form. Most professional golfers do have a pretty serious fitness workout regime, if you want to improve your game, then you should consider starting one.
So what kind of workouts and exercises are they all performing? Well I can tell you that they are all incorporating four basic elements into their golf fitness program:
Flexibility Exercises - These exercises will enhance the range of motion in your joints giving you a more fluid swing and will also reduce the chances of injury.
Stability Exercises – Help create an absolute solid stable base from which you will be able to hit those powerful shots off the tee and not forgetting the stability required for putting.
Strength
Exercises - Give you the endurance and stamina you need for the course and the ability to hold your body in extreme positions that are required of the golf swing.
Power
Exercises – These will help add distance to your drives. Just in case you need it, the power exercises will also help you with those awkward shots out of the rough!
The one and only thing that fit golfers have in common for sure is that they all seek advice from a professional golf fitness trainer. After all, you wouldn’t go to the dentist with a bad knee would you?
