Weight Training To Play Better Golf Swing?
This is a controversy in the golfing community
with one camp stating that aquiring golf fitness from weight training is
beneficial for good golf swings while the other camp thinks that it is counter
productive to golf swings. If there is such a split in opinion, then why is it
that the majority of the professional golfers in the Professional Golfers'
Association (PGA) Tour are including weight training into their golf fitness
exercises training programs and instructions to improve their golf games for
competitions?
As
I see it, this confusion probably dwells around which training modalities,
methods and exercises should golfers include in their golf fitness training
and whther the physical workouts are similar to those usually found in fitness
clubs and health gyms. Many golfers have no clue as to whether they should
include weight training such as using dumbbells and barbells into their golf
fitness exercise program.

How To Improve Golf Swing Instruction
You
see, the main aim of a golf fitness program is to improve your game by the
physical development of the muscles in your body. In order for you to achieve
this objective, the workouts and exercises must be designed to develop the
body for the maximum effectiveness of the golf swing. A good golf swing is a
total body athletic movement as the entire body is used to swing the golf
club, not just the movements of the arms or back. This is called the
integrated total body athletic action is the reason why a good golf fitness
program and instructions must incorporate exercises for the entire body.
For
example, the golf swing incorporates a rotational movement of the core which
include your abs, lower back, hips, and the obliques muscles. Therefore to
have a good golf swing, then it is very obvious that these muscles must be
worked at and strengthened in an integrated golf specific exercise such as the
Physio Ball Russian Twist where all the above mentioned muscles are being
worked out in a rotational pattern. This form of exercise is very much
different from the usual core exercises such as the usual sit ups and bent
over crunches. The idea here is to integrate the muscles of the body in its
total movements instead of just isolating each muscle.
Next,
the exercises and workouts for golf fitness training should also include
anatomical positions, movement patterns and also increasing strength for good
and powerful golf swings. What this means is that you should train with
exercises that move your body through the ranges of motion of the golf
swing to increase mobilty, power and strength.
Since
the golf swing is executed in a standing position, then naturally the
physio-ball squat exercise will be far superior than say, the seated leg
extension. This is because the physio-ball squat places your body in a
position similar to a position in which the golf swing is being executed
whereas the leg extension exercise only isolates the front thigh muscles
(quadriceps). So the seated leg extension exercise does not train the body in
an integrated movement and also not in a position somewhat similar to the golf
swing as it is done sitting down.
So if
you want to incorporate weight training into your golf fitness training
program, then you must keep to the instructions of integration and
cross-specific training to improve your health and your golf game. Improving
your game of golf with weight training is definitely beneficial to your golf
fitness when you train with the correct exercises for maximum effectiveness
for your golf swings. Click here to take The
