Keep Fit in the
Off Season
by
Elaine Crosby
Even
when the snow is falling and winter is upon us, you can still
work on improving your golf game. One thing I see in a lot of golfers is
that they are not very flexible. We were all pretty good in our 20's and
30's, but once you hit those 40's, things start to tighten up.
Winter time is a good time to start a stretching program. It is
important to keep your shoulders flexible. Spend some time each day
doing stretches for your hips and hamstrings.
If
you are really motivated to make next season one of your best, start a
“core strength” training program. Either go to your local fitness club,
or just buy an exercise ball that comes with a DVD showing how to
increase your core muscles. The muscles used in golf all
originate from the core. That is why Tiger and Annika spend so much time
working out. And they do play pretty well!
So
get motivated, and start your next golf season with a much more supple
and toned body. |
