Conditioning for golf sounds like an oxymoron doesnt it? But let me ask you this. Do you feel stress in your body during or after a golf swing? Im referring to physical stress. The muscles tightening; the lower back stiffening; the joints aching; or just plain physical fatigue. The reason I ask is to make you aware that conditioning for golf will help eliminate all the above.
Ive written many articles pertaining to the traumatic effect the golf swing can have on the body. Swinging a 3 foot plus lever (club) at up to 100 mph in a very dynamic and sometimes uncomfortable position (golf posture) will abuse your body quickly if you have not prepared your muscles from both a strength and flexibility standpoint.
Physical breakdown of the body is a common occurrence for golfers. Many golfers dont realize the intense pressure the golf swing causes, and yet theyll deal with aches and pains through their entire golfing career.
It doesnt have to be that way!
Golf is an athletic movement and you should physical prepare your body to perform, like any other athlete would for his or her sport.
Doesnt that make sense?
I see golfers every day...
