Golf Exercise And Stretch Program

Golf Exercise And Stretch Program For

Total Golf Performance





Golf exercise and stretch. This is a combination I use in all of my golf fitness programs

both online and with my personal golf clients. Its the ultimate combination to improve the

golfers swing quickly and efficiently.



A fitness program for golfers that does not incorporate a golf exercise and stretch is

doing more harm than good. Golfers need that blend of dynamic strength specific to the

golf swing and the range of motion to hold it for 18 holes.



So many times I hear a golfer mention stretching only. This is a big mistake! Stretching

without strengthening does not equal permanent range of motion improvements. An over-

stretched muscle that doesn't have strength opens up the possibilities for injury.



That is why golf exercise and stretch is the key. For every golf exercise, there is an

appropriate stretch. Taking this approach will create a powerful swing with less tension

and stress put on the body.



An example of golf exercise and stretch is doing a back hyperextension for strength, and

then lying on your back, grabbing your knees and pulling them into your chest to stretch

your back. That would be a perfect combination for your lower back.



This is how your entire golf exercise program should be laid out. And notice, its never

just one or the other. Its both!



If you ever come across a golf fitness trainer who doesn't incorporate both, run! Thats

not the program for you. Any professional should mention both topics, not just one or the

other.



So hopefully you have gained a little knowledge as to a golf exercise and stretch

program.
