Your Postural Strength Needs to Have Endurance to Go the Round
Getting into good golf posture to make a good quality swing is not a problem for many golfers. However, staying in the same posture repeatedly can be a challenge!
Dynamic posture is fundamental for swing consistency throughout the whole round. Similarly with static posture, if your posture is not optimal to start with, it will get progressively worse as the stabilizer muscles fatigue throughout the round. In addition, as the movement muscles start to get overused as a compensation for weak stabilizing muscles, the golfer finds it harder and harder to swing with consistency.
The Difficulty Holding Spine Angle Golf Fitness Workout is designed to build strength endurance in your postural muscles to help you stay in your golf posture longer and with greater ease.
It is important to keep really good golf posture while performing the exercises in the program. Remember that quality always supercedes quantity with exercise routines. So, if you are asked to perform 10 repetitions of an exercise and you can only perform 7 or 8 before you lose posture, then only perform the 7 or 8 and work up to 10. The goal is to perform each exercise with excellent posture and this will help reinforce the design and effectiveness of this program for you. Here are the elements of good posture while performing an exercise:
- keep your abs tucked in or slightly tightened throughout an exercise
- always breathe out on exertion (this will be the most difficult part of an exercise)
- keep your head and neck aligned over the top of your shoulders (if you notice your head and neck slightly forward of this position, try and bring it back to neutral)
- your back should remain flat (not too much arch)
- check position of knees and make sure they never extend over the top of the toes when bending or squatting
The Difficulty Holding Spine Angle Golf Fitness Program utilizes supersets. Begin by performing the number of repetitions for each exercise, then immediately move to the next exercise in the superset. After you perform one set of each exercise in the superset, rest 30 seconds, then repeat again. Once the superset is complete, move to the next superset. Perform this routine three to four times weekly, with one day of rest between workouts, for best results.
