Golf Specific Strength Training

How Golf-Specific Strength Training Can

Enable You to Play Exceptional Golf





Is your driving distance going down and down? Does your back hurt after a round of

golf? Do you feel like you've lost power in your golf swing? Improving your strength

specific to golf may be the missing link.





Golf is no longer just the leisure game it used to be. It is now recognized as an athletic

sport. As with all other athletic sports, your body's strength plays a crucial part in how

well you play the game.



FACT: A stronger body plays better golf. Most strength-building workouts can be

beneficial to some degree, but there are golf-specific strength exercises that enable you

to hit longer -- and straighter -- drives with less effort and hit more accurate shots, which

will consequently lower your scores.



GOLF TIP: Strengthen Your Back and Prevent Low Back Pain -- so that you can play 18

holes without fatigue



Did you know that doing even just one exercise will greatly improve the strength of your

back so that you will be able to play 18 holes, or hit balls all day without any pain?



I call this powerful little exercise the "Lying Superman." You won't believe the amazing

difference this exercise can make in your strength until you actually do it -- so go for it!

All you have to do is lie on your stomach on the floor with your hands at your sides.

Raise both your upper body (chest), arms and legs as high as you can. Hold it for a count

of 10. And that's it! Just do this simple exercise for 2 sets every day and you can say

goodbye to low back pain!





Playing golf at an optimum level requires muscular strength, power, and endurance.

Contrary to what most people think, long practice sessions and hitting hundreds of balls

will not improve these components. In fact, they will only result in physical injuries

(from overuse) and a great deal of frustration.



Benefits of Golf-Specific Strength Training



Strength training is the obvious solution for taking your golf game to the next level. The

benefits of golf-specific strength training have been well documented. Golfers have

significantly increased their driving distance, lowered their handicaps, and reduced

injuries. Therefore, it is advantageous for golfers of all ages and fitness levels to start a

strength training program.



The "Lying Superman" is just one of the many results-producing exercises compiled into

one revolutionary golf fitness program that I personally designed for golfers, and which

I've trademarked the Power Performance Program.
