Some Exercise and Flexibility Tips for Golfers

12:21 pm December 19, 2009

If you are starting to play golf after leading a primarily deskbound lifestyle then you are going to notice that it will be difficult for you to just run out and play a complete’-hole round of golf. However, if you have been playing for some time you are probably in better physical shape, but your golf game will be greatly determined by your level of physical fitness. Those that are in great shape physically, in terms of strength, flexibility and stamina, you will be able to play a lot better game than someone who is in an inferior physical shape.

Flexibility and Your Muscle Mass

You are going to need to improve flexibility at the same time that you work to improve strength so that you will have the best overall physical condition possible to play well. Aim to build lean muscle, rather than bulky muscle. The primary distinction is the amount of flexibility that the muscles can offer. Bulky muscles tend to be stronger than lean muscles, but they are not as flexible. This will really limit your ability to rotate correctly while you are swinging the club.

Build Lean Muscles

Many people who are working to build muscle strength tend to build a lot of muscle mass. This is normally because they are lifting weights that are too heavy. To build lean muscles you must do more repetitions of lighter weights. This will develop your muscle strength, while building the lean and slender muscles that are better for your golf game overall.

Warm-up Before and After Playing Golf

You need to improve your body’s level of flexibility as much as possible. This involves performing; stretching before playing golf will ensure that you are ready to swing your club on the 1st tee without the risk of a pulled muscle. If you find that you are sore after a game it was probably because you didn’t stretch. Five minutes of stretching before and after a game of golf will enable you to play golf without any problems or damage.

Walking is Great Exercise

For those that have been playing golf for some time but have been using a golf cart to ride around the course, then you should think about walking instead. For the first time that you walk the golf course, you could start out by walking a few holes and alternate some holes by riding in the cart (presuming you have some golf partners that can take turns driving the cart for you.) Progressively increase the number of holes that you walk per round until you can easily walk the full golf course without exertion.

A bit of careful planning and a well executed exercise program can go a very long way towards helping you improve your golf game dramatically. If you want to play golf to a higher level, you will have to increase your level of physical fitness and your flexibility. You will be amazed at the benefits that it provides to your healthiness as well as your general golf swing.

If you are fit for golf that is good but also you need a reliable swing. That is easily accomplished with the Simple Golf Swing taught by a true Golf Swing Guru that I have been using since my back surgery.
