Get Fit For Golf and Enjoy Your Season!
As I write this the Olympics have started and Canada is at top of the list with the most medals!! I love the Olympics! So exciting and so inspiring! Hopefully watching those young, fit athletes has inspired you to leave the television for a bit to improve your own fitness. I’m betting that all the beautiful snow has not left yet as you read this so a chance to enjoy winter sports is still available. Grab that opportunity or, now is also the time to start getting fit for golf. Core strengthening is the best thing you can do for your golf game. The second best thing you can do is improving flexibility. A strong core powers the swing. A strong core can save your shoulders from injury. Flexibility in the spine and shoulders will improve your range of motion and therefore your swing. Programs such as pilates and yoga will be very beneficial for you as a golfer. Instructors should have a wide variety of core strengthening exercises. You won’t have to do the brain work. Don’t like classes or can’t fit them into your schedule? Hire a personal trainer to give you a core strengthening program to workout in a weight room or at home. The few exercises following here, done regularly, will be very beneficial to your golf game come spring. Which might take awhile this year.
