Functional
Flexibility Is The Desire of Every Golfer

Functional
flexibility for golf is an important element. Quite often there are a
lot of feelings of inadequacy, more so physical inadequacy, on the golf
course.
Most golfers wish that they were a lot stronger than they are and yet
still be able to have functional flexibility. Most golfers realize deep
inside that flexibility and strength are important for good golf.
Yet these feelings and desire need not remain just that, any golfer can
take action and dramatically improve on their functional flexibility
and strength. Any golfer can ensure that the next time they set foot on
the course to play their beloved game, they will be brimming with
confidence and not inadequacy.
Actually both strength and functional flexibility go together and the
two cannot be divorced from one another. Weak muscles will tend to be
very stiff, the opposite of flexibility. So in other words, it is true
to say that by building up strength, a golfer will almost automatically
be improving their functional flexibility.
But let me make it clear here that there is a huge difference between
building muscles and enhancing strength. When developing strength for
golf, all good golf exercise programs will involve working with
dumbbells which a lot of people associate with muscle and body building.
The truth of the matter is that in golf, dumbbells are used to build
strength, and not muscles, by lifting much lighter weights up and down,
more times than a bodybuilder does.
The sessions are also much shorter than those of a body builder who
have to spend most of the day in the gym lifting extremely heavy
weights to build their muscles. Actually it is true that building
muscles will tend to bring in stiffness and the very opposite of
functional flexibility.
A good golf exercise training program must also include stretch
exercises which are a great help in attaining functional flexibility
for golf.
It is the functional flexibility gained from weight training and
stretches that can greatly improve the golf swing of any golfer.
Actually the greater the functional flexibility for golf...the better
the golf swings.
