Golf
Conditioning
Our newest service Golf
conditioning is a fitness
program designed for people who
want to improve their golf game
and prevent golf related
injuries. Golfers are known for
the consistent way in which they
practice their golf swing, in
order to perfect their game. One
way to assist in this process is
to understand and breakdown the
six stages of the golf swing.
They are as follows:
* set-up - the balance
of the body in preparation for
the swing.
* backswing- the
slight rotation of the hips
leading to the weight shift and
the shoulder turn.
* at the top- tall
posture, balance and an almost
erect leg ( right or left,
whichever is more dominant)
maintaining its flex.
* downswing- slight
weight shift of the hips.
* impact- the shifting
of the upper body behind the
lower body, and the rotation of
the hips to a slightly more open
position toward the target.
* finish- good
posture; the body is balanced
and relaxed, weight has
transferred to the dominant leg.
In order to continue to be
consistent and meet the demands
of the golf swing you need to be
fit, and by that I mean
concentrating on improving your
flexibility, strengthening,
stabilization, weight shifting,
balance and posture.
This can be achieved by
utilizing the gymnastic ball.
The gymnastic ball is a great
tool for golfers, because the
exercises performed on it
promote a diversity of fitness
benefits in each routine. The
g-ball, as it is commonly
called, diminishes joint strain
while promoting flexibility;
therefore, increasing your range
of motion. It challenges the
entire body placing demands on
the muscles to contract, thus
increasing your strength. The
g-ball also improves the
stabilization of the trunk and
the scapular area, while
providing spine alignment, which
are very important for golfers.
As you become more advanced,
and want to challenge yourself,
the intensity can be increased
by adding manual resistance, or
other exercise equipment besides
the g-ball to your routine such
as: hand weights, tubes/stretch
bands, and cables.
So if you are looking to
improve your golf game while
increasing your fitness level
than golf conditioning is for
you. Not only will it develop
the essential muscles for your
golf swing, but it will prevent
or rehabilitate the muscles that
are commonly injured among
golfers.
