Golf exercise and stretch. This is a combination I use in all of my golf fitness programs both online and with my personal golf clients. It's the ultimate combination to improve the golfers swing quickly and efficiently.

A fitness program for golfers that does not incorporate a golf exercise and stretch is doing more harm than good. Golfers need that blend of dynamic strength specific to the golf swing and the range of motion to hold it for 18 holes.

So many times I hear a golfer mention stretching only. This is a big mistake! Stretching without strengthening does not equal permanent range of motion improvements. An over-stretched muscle that doesn't have strength opens up the possibilities for injury.

That is why golf exercise and stretch is the key. For every golf exercise, there is an appropriate stretch. Taking this approach will create a powerful swing with less tension and stress put on the body.

An example of golf exercise and stretch is doing a back hyperextension for strength, and then lying on your back, grabbing your knees and pulling them into your chest to stretch your back. That would be a perfect combination for your lower back.

This is how your entire golf exercise program should be laid out. And notice, it's never just one or the other. It's both!

If you ever come across a golf fitness trainer who doesn't incorporate both.run! That's not the program for you. Any professional should mention both topics, not just one or the other.

So hopefully you have gained a little knowledge as to a golf exercise and stretch program.

An Effective Golf Swing Exercise There are many types of effective golf swing exercises. Golf swing exercise is very important because the golf swing is at the very heart of the golf game. It is actually impossible to play a good game of golf without being able to execute an effective golf swing. The other reason why golf swing exercise is so important is in the fact that a golf swing by its’ very nature is a very unnatural and awkward movement of the body and muscles.
