Golf Fitness Exercises

A good group of golf fitness exercises will include a consistent routine that will improve your strength and flexibility and will provide for gradual and long term increase in your endurance.

It’s a fact that if you lose your focus and intensity after a few holes and your shots begin to wander off line, your overall golf fitness may be at odds with your game.

Golf may not conjure up visions of tri-athletes, but golfers that walk the course can put as much as 5 miles in by the end of round. This alone certainly validates why good golf fitness exercises is essential to your game.

One, often overlooked, component when I discuss the aspects of physical fitness and in particular those specific to golf fitness, is the subject of nutrition.

Not only do you need to attend to the physical aspects of your golf fitness exercises, but your body needs fuel and it needs proper fuel. It’s not within the scope of this article to go into the various food groups and proper diet, but generally speaking, stay off the junk and highly processed foods.

Be sure to stay with fruits and veggies, lean proteins (easy on the red meats), and plenty of water. I think you’ll find that the stronger and healthier you feel, the healthier you’ll want to eat and the cravings for those dietetically forbidden foods will greatly diminish.

You don’t have to starve, just watch what you eat and control your portions. And you’ll do fine.

As all this begins to come together for you, and you begin to reap the rewards of your golf fitness exercises, first you will feel better. When you feel better, you will be able to focus and concentrate throughout your round.

Visualization is such a large part of a good golf shot. Lack of concentration and focus diminishes your chances of producing good results. Physically you will be stronger and mentally you will be tougher. Your scores will go lower.

Keep in mind that you should look at your golf fitness exercises as a long term daily routine. When it comes to fitness, it doesn’t happen overnight or even in a couple weeks. Remember, we’re not in training here. We are changing our habits.

If you’re persistent with your goal to improve your game from the inside out, your golf game will follow. Stay with it!
