Increase Flexibility for Golf
Fitness, Tips & Advice May 31st, 2007If you have flexibility in your muscles, you will have a definite advantage in the game of golf. Not only will you be less sore after walking the three or four miles on an 18-hole course, but, more importantly, your swing will be much more powerful.
The golf swing is a very dynamic movement. You put all of your weight into the rotating action, and it just makes sense to work the muscles in your body to accommodate your soon to be explosive swing.
You don’t need any special equipment to practice golf swing flexibility exercises. You can do them anywhere! Even just doing rotational exercises every day (swinging your arms around and around a few times) will loosen you up enough to assist your swing. For more detail on what types of exercises are recommended for flexibility, ask your golf pro or instructor.
Always remember that the golf swing is a rotational movement, so you should train your body to the goal of rotational strength and flexibility. Increasing your flexibility is the quickest and easiest way to see real results from your golf swing.
