Golf
Strength Training Exercise Is Not Body
Building |
by:

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.
