Golf Swing Exercise

An Effective Golf Swing Exercise





There are many types of effective golf swing exercises. Golf swing exercise is very

important because the golf swing is at the very heart of the golf game. It is actually

impossible to play a good game of golf without being able to execute an effective golf

swing.



The other reason why golf swing exercise is so important is in the fact that a golf swing

by its very nature is a very unnatural and awkward movement of the body and muscles. It

therefore stands to reason that the body will usually resist the golf swing action and this

is why it appears to be so difficult to master.



However when you use golf swing exercises to strengthen and condition the relevant

muscles, the golf swing becomes less awkward to the body.



Let us now take a closer look at the movements involved in a golf swing so that we come

up with the most effective golf swing exercise that will impact most dramatically on the

quality of your game.



The golf swing is actually a turn back and turn through. Most of the movement is pure

rotation. This means doing golf swing exercises like a seated twist holding a dumbbell

straight out in front of you is a very effective exercise in strengthening and conditioning

the muscles used in the golf swing.



Be careful not to use very heavy weights in this golf swing exercise. 3-5 pound dumb

bells are ideal. Remember that a golf club is not heavy; in fact it weights less than a

pound.



Repeat this golf swing exercise as many times as you can within a 30-minute session

without straining yourself. Do remember to warm up before you begin the session and

also to warm down when you are through. Warming up ensures that you do not start with

your muscles cold. Stretches involving the muscles that you are going to use can also be

extremely useful before you go into this golf swing exercise.
