Golf Swing Flexibility Exercises That
Will Add Distance Quickly
By: Mike Pedersen
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.
