Golf Strength Training Seniors
Golf Strength Training Slows The Aging
Process
Golf strength training is critical in slowing down the effects of aging. Issues like rapidly
declining strength, flexibility, and endurance. The number of golfers who are middle age
or older is growing and they all want to play as long as possible.
In order to both slow the aging process AND play longer, you need adequate levels of
strength, flexibility, and other physical abilities.
Golfers (and most others) lose as they age. The cause is quite simple. They do not
partake in any form of golf strength training exercises to maintain the fitness levels they
had early on in life.
It is NEVER too late to improve strength and flexibility. I have worked with golfers in
person and via my websites that are in their 70s and 80s that have almost doubled their
current strength and dramatically improved their flexibility (specific to golf).
Just by doing a simple golf strength training routine a couple of times a week, you will
increase the level of strength and other important aspects, and not be as aware of the
changes that come with aging. You cant stop it, but you can slow it down and even
reverse it depending on your current level of fitness.
One of the major areas most senior golfers loseis the flexibility in their midsection
(core), which is critical in generating power in the golf swing. As a result, the senior
golfer will make a change in swing technique, rather than address the physical limation.
There are many senior golfers who can still play a good game of golf due to the fact of
playing and practicing throughout the yearshowever their swing execution, power and
overall consistency has been dramatically affected.
Therefore, it is critical for senior golfers to maintain or increase strength, flexibility,
even balance and coordination to preserve the performance or level of golf they so yearn
to achieve.
Given the above scenario, I hope you realize the importance of golf strength training.
