Believe it or not, a par golf game begins off the course--at your local
gym!
Are you having trouble bringing your golf game to the next level? Believe it or not, your greatest improvements can take place off the course! Let the PGA Tour doctor show you the way...
Just because Mother Nature decided not to cooperate with your tee time, doesn't mean that you can't continue to improve your golf skills while relegated to the clubhouse. A set of key physical movements can be added to your indoor exercise regimen to strengthen your game and prevent common golf injuries. The core of your body is a group of muscles and tendons including the abdominals, hamstrings, lower back and glutens which play an important role in controlling the mechanics of your swing. A weak core leads to poor mechanics. And poor mechanics creates additional golf injuries, or even worse, a nasty slice! Yoga postures help to improve your swing and strengthen your core. When swinging the golf club your body actually decelerates from 90 miles per hour to zero in less than half a second! Your hips must absorb this tremendous stress. Weak hips will strain the lower back and cause pain, a common ailment for the regular golfer. Yoga targets the hips and can increase their range of motion and strength. Yoga spine twisting pose targets almost every muscle in the hip and can also reduce the chances of a lower back injury. If you're serious about improving your golf game, some basic lifestyle changes can also help you reach your goal. Consuming healthy foods and nutrients and drinking plenty of water on a daily basis will keep you energized and hydrated. In addition, exercising on a regular basis decreases the natural loss of muscle mass that we all experience as we age, enabling a fit physique and many more pleasurable rounds on the course. These easy exercises can help make you a better golfer. For more great tips, check out, PGA tour Dr. Vijay Vad, MD book, Golf RX: A Core Program for More Yards and Less Pain. And remember; always check with your doctor before starting this or any exercise regimen.
