Improve your Game
with Golf Exercise

Most golfers rely too much on the equipment. They ignore golf exercise, mental game and playing condition. Especially, flexibility training is important, if you want to improve your golf swing power and driving distance. If you are inflexible, you will not be able to take full back swings.

You need to exercise mainly the middle of your body, abdominal area and lower back. This is also the area most susceptible to injury.

Every golfer wants to achieve golf swing consistency. They take lessons, buy new equipment, but it does not make much of a difference.

If you want to improve your game, you need to set up an exercise program. There are several simple exercises that will strengthen your abdominal area and your back.

The seated twist is an excellent stretching exercise. It will loosen your back and allow you to have a greater back swing. This will result in more power and more distance.

• Sit upright in a chair
• With your left arm reach behind you and rotate to the left
• Hold this position for about 10 seconds
• Then reach behind you with your right arm and rotate to the right and hold also for about 10 seconds

• Sit on the floor with knees bend, heels on the floor and point toes up
• Lean back and rotate shoulders and chest to the right and then to the left, while holding your hands in front
• Do this about 15 times

The results of these golf exercises will:

• help to increase driving distance
• lower your handicap
• help reduce injuries
