Strength Training For Golf

Strength Training For Golf No Gym

Required





Strength training for golf is viewed by golfers as a lot of work, time-consuming, boring

and you need a gym membership to do it. None of the above is true, and if you read this

article, Ill explain why.



You see strength training for golf isnt on machines anyways so that eliminates the

requirement of a gym. All you need is a pair of handweights, exercise tubing and a

stability ball and youve got your entire in-home golf fitness gym.



Its not a lot of work, if you pick and choose the area you want to focus on. Its not time-

consuming if you do it in the convenience of your home, and have a plan of action. And

lastly, it can be a lot of fun, when you use bands, exercise balls and training equipment

specific to golf.



There many so-called strength training for golf programs, but when you take a look at

them, youll see pictures of golfers sitting on their butts in a machine. I dont know about

you, but I think golf is done on your feet, right?



Strength training for golf is becoming mainstream with the golfing community. We see

and hear all the pros doing it and playing their best golf; so why wouldnt we amateurs do

it also?



There are so many reasons why to participate in a strength training for golf program, that

you cant overlook it and say you dont need it.



Lacking power in your swing? Its because your body cant produce any stored energy

from a full backswing with torque in your core. Thats a physical issue, not mechanical.



Is your golf swing inconsistent from one swing to the next? Swing faults originate from

some deeper physical limitation thats not allowing you to make a mechanically sound

and repeatable swing. How many times have you taken a lesson and heard your pro say,

you need to make a full backswing, but you just cant physically do it? Thats a physical

issue, not mechanical.



How about injuries? Do you have one at the moment? The golf swing is physically

damaging to the body if you dont have enough strength and flexibility to withstand the

force the golf swing puts on it. Swinging a 3 foot long lever (club) at up to 90 mph is

unbelievably stressful on the joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles of the body. Thats a

physical issue, not mechanical.



I could go on and on, but I think you might get the idea by now.



Strength training for golf may be your missing link to your best game ever! If youve tried

all the other methods, this is the ONLY one left. Why wouldnt you explore the

possibilities a little more?



If youre looking to add power to your golf swing; improve your consistency; and prevent

golf injuries, then youve got to consider strength training for golf.
