subject: Easy Golf Exercises You Can Do At Home -- Simple Pointers From Golf Experts [print this page] Quite a lot of questions have been asked about the perfect physical condition for a great game of golf. You dont need bulging muscles or flexibility like that of a ballerina to become Tiger Woods. It all boils down to proper golf exercises that target specific areas in our body to give you powerful and accurate swings and the stamina to maintain that power until the game ends.
Golf Training Exercise 101 - What Is Used For the Sport?
Before we start out with our training program to improve your body for golf, the first thing we need to do is to determine what areas in our body need to be improved. For example, the muscles in our body need to be tight as a spring if you want to get a lot of power behind your swing; making sure that they are flexible enough to avoid getting aches and pains after a few holes.
The secret to being a successful golfer is the improvement of the so-called core muscle group. This involves every major muscle group, starting from your belly button -- your abs, sternum, hips, and buttocks. That's right, improving the "core muscle group" definitely guarantees a peak physical condition during your game.
A Simple Exercise You Can Do At Home
There are two ways to do this simple exercise -- with any normal chair in your home or with an exercise ball. You should be sitting upright, with your chest high and your back straight (dont slouch).
Hold with your two hands a weighted medicine ball or a 5 or 10 pound dumbbell held straight out in front of you with your hands extended. Rotate your upper body without moving from your sitting position until you reach your limit. Continue holding the ball and rotate to the other direction. Repeat this exercise a few times until you get the hang of it.
Other golf exercises that mimic the same maneuver targets our body's rotation. The perfect swing comes from a full rotation of our upper body while maintaining a constant position with our lower body. This helps guarantee that you swing with the right posture to avoid upper or lower back pains every after each swing and gain full flexibility as well as improved rotation strength and muscle stamina.
