The Impact of Golf Specific ExerciseWritten by Mike Pedersen
Golf specific exercises are part and parcel of modern day golf game. Yet many people associate golf specific exercises with exercises used in other sports and by other athletes involved in more rigorous sporting activities.For example many golfers look down on golf specific exercises that involve lifting weights. The fear that they will develop muscles which will tend to make them stiff and less flexible in their golf game. Everybody knows that flexibility is very important in golf. Yet truth of matter is that golf specific weight exercises have nothing to do with building muscles like a weight lifter. This is because lighter weights are used and lifting action is repeated more times. The effect of this is to build strength and not muscles. Strength in muscles has a remarkable effect on quality of a golf game, especially when muscles targeted are all “golf muscles”. The other wrong image people often have about golf specific exercises is that there are as rigorous and as demanding as sort of exercises one would find in a marine corps training program.
