Golf
Strength Training Exercise is NOT Body Building
|

Despite
many reassurances, some amateur golfers still dread golf strength
training exercises.
The problem would appear to be the presence of equipment like dumb
bells in this sort of strength training. Not everybody is an exercise
expert and therefore many people cannot tell the difference between
body building exercise and strength building exercises.
The two are very different. They are so different that the difference
can be compared to the difference there is between day and night.
Body building has got no part to play in golf strength training
exercises. If anything this sort of exercise routine would damage a
golfer’s game rather than improve it.
One of the effects of a body building exercise program that includes
nothing else is that it causes the body to lose flexibility.
Flexibility is very important in golf and that is precisely the reason
why stretch exercises are a part of any good and genuine golf strength
training exercise program.
In body building the emphasis is on lifting increasingly heavier
weights so as to get the muscles to grow in size as quickly as
possible. A body building program is usually rigorous and definitely
not for everybody.
Muscle strength-building exercises using dumb bells are the exercises
that are useful to golfers. Dumb bells play a huge role in golf
strength training exercise programs. Only that the weight lifting
program is very different from the one used in body building.
Much lighter weights are used and lifted up and down many more times
than is the case in weight lifting. Still the sessions are much shorter
than body building sessions.
Results have shown clearly that when this golf strength training
exercise program is combined with stretch exercises, the improvement
witnessed in any person’s game has to be seen to be believed. The
results of golf strength training exercise programs are usually
tremendous.
