There
is no doubt that body flexibility is extremely important for golf and
to golfers. Little wonder that one of the biggest fears amongst many
golfers looking to improve their game is that of losing their
flexibility as a result of weight training that builds muscles and
stretching exercises.
This is one of the reasons why many amateur golfers still avoid joining
golf-specific exercise and conditioning programs. They mistakenly link
every weight-training program with muscle building and bodybuilding.
Although it is true that muscle building and body building will tend to
make somebody stiff, the facts are that weight training can either be
used for body-building and building of muscles, or it can be used to
build strength. The golf specific weight training programs are aimed at
building strength and endurance. Not muscles. A genuine golf exercise
program will have nothing in its’ weight training routine to remotely
relate it to muscle or bodybuilding.
In fact stronger and conditioned muscles will tend to dramatically
improve flexibility for golf, rather than reduce it. Flabby, weak,
unexercised muscles are the ones that will tend to be very stiff and
over time will take away the flexibility for golf in anybody.
Stretch exercises, which work best with strengthened muscles are very
effective in helping to increase flexibility. These exercises usually
have a major impact on the quality of the golf swing for most players.
Therefore it is not true that incorporating dumbbells into golf
specific exercises makes a golfer lose flexibility. Rather the entire
program plays a major role in enhancing flexibility for golf and the
results from players who have tremendously improved their game, speak
for themselves.
