Maintaining
golf fitness when you don't play that often
Obviously,
getting out to the driving range will help you keep your golfing muscles
in some kind of shape, but many people do not get to the range over
the often enough. Also be careful not to overdo it at the range, especially
if hitting off artificial mats. You hit about 35 to 75 shots in a
round of golf, and if you practice effectively, you really don't need
to hit too many more than this at the range after you have warmed
up, which
you should always do with a wedge for at least ten shots.
In addition, there is much more to "golf fitness" than having
your swinging muscles conditioned.An average walk on the golf course
is about four miles, so your conditioning is extremely important.
I strongly recommend that you walk this distance (taking a few breaks
is fine) at least once a week. If it is difficult because of the weather,
get access to a treadmill so you can walk indoors.

Strength
is also important to golf fitness as you see with the tour
pros who are paying much more attention to this. Work on your
back strength and thigh strength, in addition to arms, shoulders
and wrists. A rubber tubing with handles on both ends is great
for working some of the muscles that you use in the golf swing
because it allows a fluid motion and works on flexibilty as
well. A piece of broom handle with a three to five pound weight
tied to it by a three foot string is excellent
|

for
working your forearms and wrists. Simply roll the weight up and down
with both hands holding the broom handle with your hands straight
out in front of you.
How
to Achieve Optimal Golf Flexibility And Improve Your Swing Quickly

Flexibility
is the most overlooked. Your hamstrings (back of the thighs) need
to be very flexible to allow you to hold your spine angle throughout
the swing. Loose hamstrings also contribute to a loose lower back.
To stretch your hamstrings you should warm the muscles up first
by doing a few minutes of walking or jogging (or in a warm bathtub
is great). Sit with your legs straight out in front of you, toes
pulled toward you, and bend from the waist with your arms extended
foreward. See how close you can get your fingers to your toes. Your
goal should be to get at least two inches farther than you are now.
Ideally you will be able to hold your feet comfortably. Hold the
stretch for at least ten seconds and try to do it several times
a day.
How
Sean Harder, founder of this site, overcame Arthritis Pain so he
could golf again.
The most important thing about Flexicose,
aside from its 14 arthritis and joint pain fighting ingredients
and complete 1,500 mg of liquid glucosamine per dose, is the method
of delivery. Most of the glucosamine you buy is in pill form. Flexicose
is different. Unlike pills that must be dissolved in your body before
they can start working, Flexicose has been specially formulated
for maximum absorption – something that no pill can claim.
Because it’s a liquid, Flexicose goes straight to your joints
and is completely absorbed. Compare that to pills that sometimes
only offer a 10 – 20% absorption rate which is why they will
generally take longer (a month or more) for you to start seeing
arthritis pain relief. Flexicose takes 1 - 2 weeks for most people
to notice a reduction in joint pain, and many people will notice
increased flexibility within the first week or so. For more advanced
cases, it may take up to a month. Remember, Flexicose is repairing
your joints instead of just covering up pain, and just how a cut
cannot repair itself overnight, give Flexicose a fair amount of
time to work. We know it will give you relief from arthritis
pain and we back it with our 30 day money back guarantee already
