Power Golf Exercises That Are Proven To Add Distance
Power golf exercises are a unique set of exercises that you do
not do in a gym on machines, nor do you lift heavy weights. For
that matter, you can do simple power golf exercises right in
your home with minimal equipment.
You see...to improve the power in your golf swing, you need to
look at the mechanics that create the power.
It's not your arms swinging the club as hard as you can! It's
not your legs driving your body through the swing! And it's not
swinging some funky 50 inch shaft with a 600cc titanium head
either.
It's quite simple!
The power in your golf swing is your CORE!
Your core is the engine to your swing. If your core is weak or
inflexible, you will never be able to hit a powerful tee shot.
This is harsh...but very true!
The modern power golf swing is one of being "connected" with
your upper body. Not letting your letting your arms get
separated from your body. Rotating your upper body as a whole,
over a somewhat stable lower body will produce maximum power at
impact.
So the perfect power golf exercises involve rotational movements
with resistance in your core area. The are many exercises you
can do that will dramatically improve your driving distance and
power...and no gym required!
A simple power golf exercise for your core is my Seated Twist
w/Dumbbell: * Sit upright in your chair. * Hold single dumbbell
straight out from chest with arms fully extended. * While
keeping your head focused straight ahead, rotate your arms to
the right, then to the left as far as you can go both ways. * Do
this non-stop for 20 total rotations. * Pause for 15 seconds and
repeat 2 more times.
At first you will feel very restricted in your midsection.
That's a sign of how limited your rotational flexibility really
is. But do this exercise daily and you will see improvement
quickly.
The next time you step out onto the course, you'll blast your
drives up to 20 yards further!
As you can see above...the key is ROTATIONAL exercises with
resistance, whether it be a single dumbbell, exercise tubing or
even a weighted golf club.
Doesn't matter what you use, as long as it is up to 5 pounds in
weight and you can handle it easily in both hands. If you're
already in good shape go for 10-15 pounds and increase your rate
of speed. This will both improve your "fast-twitch" core muscles
and also your range of motion for a bigger backswing and a
complete follow through.
So you see...I wasn't fibbing! It doesn't take a gym or fancy
equipment to do effective and proven power golf exercises!
