THIS WEEK’S FOCUS IS ON LOWER BODY STRENGTH FOR GOLFERS
The goal of strength training is to improve muscle structure to prevent injury. Typically, golfers are vulnerable to injuries in the neck, low back, knees, hips and wrists. For this reason, it is critical that you strength train in these areas.
Lower Body Strength-
Golf is basically a squat sport. We start in a squat position and we want to maintain that position throughout the swing. The ability to squat effectively can help us generate power in the swing. Squat exercises are great for a total body workout, they effectively work most of the major muscles groups.
Squats are also a versatile exercise. They can be done almost anywhere. Doing squats can also increase joint flexibility and engage the core.
Benefits of Lower Body Strength-
*lower body strength allows you to push off ground
*lower body strength helps for better weight transfer
*a strong lower body prevents injury
*a strong lower body helps generate speed
* a strong lower body provides a base for a strong swing
Studies show that increased lower body strength and power correlate to higher swing speed levels and improved performance.
Practice something about your game everyday.
