The golf swing is considered a total-body athletic motion. You end up using almost every single muscle, joint and ligament in your body to make a good golf swing with speed and power. So you want to train and develop these muscles, joints and ligaments specific to the golf swing. You see when you do functional exercises that use “your golf muscles” and motions similar to the golf swing, you train those muscles to work as if they were swinging the club. In addition to functional exercises, you also want to do exercises that balance out muscle imbalances caused from the repetitious golf swing.
Cardiogolf is a perfect program to train your swing and your body. It is a program to help people develop strength and flexibility specific to golf. The routine is a combination of swing drills and golf-specific exercises.
Here is a functional exercise for your swing and an exercise to balance out these same muscles so that you recover faster and prevent injury.
Medicine Ball Rotation with Lunge for Strength
Stand with your feet shoulder width.
Hold a small medicine ball or hand weight.
Lunge forward as you rotate the medicine ball to the outside on your forward leg.
Return to start position and repeat on the opposite leg.
Repeat for 10 repetitions on each leg.
Torso Rotation for Flexibility
Lay on the floor.
Bend both knees.
Slowly drop both knees to one side rotating from your torso. Try to keep your shoulders placed on the ground.
