The 5 Best Golf Fitness Exercises for a Better Golf Game<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The golf swing is a complex and unnatural swing for many people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike tennis or baseball, where you have the luxury of moving the feet and body to position yourself to
strike the ball, the golf swing necessitates detailed attention to the sequencing of your body\u2019s
movements for best ball striking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Years of research on the optimal golf swing has identified a very specific \u201cKinematic Sequence\u201d that
produces an efficient, smooth, and powerful swing. It will vary slightly from person to person, but, in our
mind\u2019s eye, we all know what it looks like.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The question we need to ask ourselves, whether we are a beginner or experienced veteran, is do we
have the body awareness, strength, and mobility to achieve the best, safest, and most efficient kinematic
sequence for our bodies?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is where golf fitness comes in. While YOU might not know the answer, your golf pro, and golf fitness
expert can help you answer that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

First Step – Ask Your Golf Professional<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. What does he or she identify as an area of your golf swing that needs improvement? <\/li>
  2. Is your golf turn and finish complete? <\/li>
  3. Can you maintain golf posture at address and throughout the swing? <\/li>
  4. Do you overuse your arms (and maybe suffer from chronic, shoulder, or wrist pain)? <\/li>
  5. Do you lack clubhead speed and power? <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    These are ALL things that can be identified by your golf instructor and then addressed by a golf fitness expert.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    As a golf fitness professional, I would personally evaluate you on your golf pros\u2019 recommendation and assess what part of your fitness needs improvement to help your golf swing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Is it your mobility\/flexibility? Is it your core stabilization? Is it strength and power? Is it balance?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Over the last 15 years of training hundreds of golfers, I have focused on several basic golf fitness
    hallmarks and programmed simple exercises that are must-do\u2019s for my golf clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Just remember that golf fitness does not have to be complicated! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    These exercises can be progressed or regressed as needed to fit a golfer’s baseline fitness and golf skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
