Conditioning For Golf Produces A Powerful Golf Swing

Conditioning for golf sounds like an oxymoron doesn't it? But let
me ask you this.

Do you feel stress in your body during or after a
golf swing? I'm referring to physical stress. The muscles
tightening; the lower back stiffening; the joints aching; or just
plain physical fatigue. The reason I ask is to make you aware that
conditioning for golf will help eliminate all the above.
I've written many articles pertaining to the traumatic effect
the golf swing can have on the body.

Swinging a 3 foot plus lever
(club) at up to 100 mph in a very dynamic and sometimes
uncomfortable position (golf posture) will abuse your body quickly
if you have not prepared your muscles from both a strength and
flexibility standpoint.
Physical breakdown of the body is a common occurrence for
golfers. Many golfers don't realize the intense pressure the golf
swing causes, and yet they'll deal with aches and pains through
their entire golfing career.
It doesn't have to be that way!
Golf is an athletic movement and you should physically prepare
your body to perform, like any other athlete would for his or her
sport.

Doesn't that make sense?
I see golfers every day on the range and the golf course who are
physically broken. They have locked up shoulders, inhibiting their
ability to rotate fully; they have no core strength (most golfers
are sporting too many pounds in the middle) to produce power and
distance; poor hamstring flexibility, making it impossible to
maintain golf poster; the upper back muscles are weak and tight
causing the rounded upper back, eliminating any chance of proper
spine angle.
I could go on and on, but I think you're getting the
picture.
I don't know if golfers are in denial of the importance of
conditioning for golf, or just don't want to put any effort into
that aspect of the game.

But either way, it is inevitable that a
weak and restricted body will have no chance at maximizing
potential. It's a physical impossibility.
Conditioning for golf should be taken seriously!
When you do a program specific to golf, it can be fun. Boredom
is one of the biggest causes of consistency and results.

But if you
knew you were doing something not only for your personal health,
but to benefit your golf game, wouldn't that motivate you to stick
with it?
We're not talking about going to a gym for 2 hours with all the
muscle heads. We're talking about 20-30 minutes a day in your home.

ball. Your complete golf fitness gym for under $60.

No gym
memberships. Just a fun routine in the privacy of your home.
Evaluate where your golf swing and game are currently and ask
yourself this question. "Would I play better if I could move my
body more fluidly and powerfully?" The answer is a resounding YES!
You've got to realize this sooner or later.

Prepare your body to
perform and the sky is the limit.
