Golf Specific Strength Exercises For A Powerful Swing
Every golfer is looking for more power. Golf specific strength
exercises can get you there the quickest. You see...it is not
pounding more balls that will get you to drive the ball farther,
nor is it taking more lessons. The key is incorporating strength
exercises that are golf specific.
Golf Exercises With Weights
Any strength program utilizes weights. The weights I am talking
about are primarily dumbbells. Dumbbells allow you a full range
of motion that can be exactly like every phase of your golf swing.
All it takes is a little creativity to design golf exercises that
mimic your swing with weights.
Take a look at the picture to the right. I am making a golf backswing
with a single dumbbell. Nothing fancy, but very effective. This simple
golf exercise will improve the strength of my golf muscles specific
to my backswing, in return generating a much more powerful backswing.
Strength Exercises With Tubing
Another effective golf specific exercise tool is tubing. Tubing is
inexpensive, portable, and can be purchased just about anywhere
(including Target now). I use exercise tubing in all my golf fitness
dvds, manual and membership site because it enables me to come up
with exercises that replicate the golf swing exactly.
Take a look at this picture. I am making an exact golf downswing
with tubing attached to the top of a door. You can't get anymore
golf specific than that. I have received emails from golfers who
have just done this exercise and have seen increases of 30 yards
on their drives.
There are literally dozens and dozens of strength exercises you
can do with tubing that are golf specific.
Golf Specific Strength Training With Medicine Balls
Medicine balls are the rave! They were a very popular training
device back in the early 1900's and have come back full force.
Every conditioning program for golf and all sports incorporate
medicine balls.
The beauty of medicine balls is the weight. They are as big as a
basketball, but can weigh up to 20 pounds. This is ideal for
strengthening your core specific to golf. Look at the picture
here. I am doing a stationary golf swing with a heavy medicine
ball. This simple exercise can add a massive amount of yards
to all your clubs due to the rapid strength improvement of
your core.
You can't ignore golf specific strength training exercises
anymore. Embrace them and watch your power and distance
explode!
