If there livelihood depends on their performance and they are participating in golf fitness training, why wouldnt amateur golfers do the same?
The golf swing is one of the most physically demanding movements on the human body of all sports.
Swinging a three and a half foot long implement at upwards of 100 mph, while maintaining balance, stabilization and proper swing mechanics is very difficult.
I dont think I have to convince you of that do I?
The only way to be able to accomplish this is by improving the strength AND flexibility of your golf muscles.
Whats the simplest way to do this? I can tell you not on a machine in your local gym.
Just take a look at the golf swing to realize its on your feet and bent at the waist. How could sitting in a machine help that?
It cant! Youve got to do as many exercises as possible on your feet, involving balance, coordination, strength and flexibility.
A Golf Fitness Coach Equals Great GolfGolf fitness coach. Have you ever considered one
and if so, what exactly were you looking for? There are many general fitness trainers trying to get a piece of the golf fitness and training market that seems to be rapidly gaining exposure both on the television and in print thanks to Tiger, Vijay and Annika.

You dont even have to be a golf fitness specialist to come up with some creative golf exercises on your own.
How about making your golf swing while holding a single handweight? You cant get anymore golf-specific than that.
What about some exercise tubing (thats inexpensive) attached to your door and make your golf swing? Another very golf-specific exercise.
You dont need a gym membership to do any of these and many more golf exercises. Convenience of doing these exercises in your home saves time and money.
There is a lot of information (including books) showing golfers on machines in gyms. Thats not golf-specific, thats general fitness.
If you want to improve your game quickly and easily, try doing these in-home golf training exercises. You wont believe how quickly your body will respond and how youll be the LONGEST hitter in your foursome in no-time.
Why A Golf Stretching DVD Is Not The Answer To A Better Golf Swing
A golf stretching dvd can and would be a very effective way to improve your golf swing technique, power and overall performance
but you cant forget one very important factor to make these results lasting!
The main reason you cant just look for a golf stretching dvd is the critical component of strength specific to your golf swing. You see
improving your flexibility with a golf stretching program, without the implementation of golf strength exercises will not warrant long-term flexibility gains.
Picture a rubber band for a second. Keep stretching it and stretching it. What happens? ..
