The fitness requirements of optimal golf performance are a unique combination of aerobic endurance, muscular strength and flexibility.

The PhysiCore Performance Golf Training Program serves to help you maintain your energy level and concentration throughout the entire round. There is nothing more disconcerting than standing over a putt with a heart rate of 150 because you were out of breath from the hill you had to climb to get to the green.

Through golf exercies, your fitness level will increase, to help you maintain a higher energy level throughout the round. Higher energy means better concentration, especially towards the end of the round. Additional golf exercies benefits include weight loss. When you are at or near a healthy weight your whole game can improve from tee, to fairway, to green.

Naturally, muscular strength will help you hit the ball further. This not only results in shorter approach irons, but also in improved accuracy, because you will be less apt to swing harder for the added yardage. Added strength will also help you to blast the ball out of long rough or heavy sand. Strength training works not only the muscles, but also strengthens tendons, ligaments and joints. This will significantly reduce your risk for injury.

And of course, you'll need to be flexible to take at least a nearly full swing. The greater the range of motion, the more smooth the swing. Golf flexibility also improves your touch and like strength, plays a very important role in injury prevention.

These are just a few of the benefits you will receive from your PhysiCore golf fitness program. Your complete plan will contain all the details of your personalized aerobic, strength and flexibility programs.

Golf Stretching Program

Stretching and flexibility is arguably the most important component of your golf-training program. Improving flexibility will lead to a more effective swing and reduced risk of injury. The key areas of the body included in this program are low-back, gluteals, hamstrings, pectorals, upper trapezius, shoulders, wrists, triceps, and the muscles involved in spinal rotation. This more intermediate program contains a few more exercises than the beginning but less than the advanced program.

Strength Training in Golf Fitness

Strength training can be very beneficial in enhancing golf performance. While the latest and greatest driver technology can buy you a few more yards, a safe and effective strength-training program can get you even more yardage with an even greater likelihood that the ball will end up in the middle of the fairway.

It takes a great deal of muscular control to accelerate and skillfully swing a golf club. Additionally, the complex motion involved can result in injury, especially to the lower back. Both performance and injury risk can be significantly improved with proper strength training. When devising a strength training program, we have considered key points:

• Range of Motion — train in movement patterns similar to the activity
• Quality of the training — the overall goal is to develop muscular strength without significant increases in muscle mass
  
• Flexibility and range of motion — strength training must be accompanied by a properly designed stretching program to insure that range of motion is maintained or, ideally increased.
  
• Coordination — sequence body movements to mimic the goal movement as closely as possible. Other important considerations in your golf training program are postural alignment, foot placement, core stability (ab and back strength), and hand-eye coordination.

The golf programs offered contain exercises that are specific to golf fitness as well as overall muscular strength. Minimally all golf strength program should contain exercises for general fitness, core stability (e.g., crunches and trunk rotational movements with a cable machine). Rotator cuff exercises will also serve to reduce risk for shoulder injury (e.g., internal and external rotation of the shoulder using tubing, dumbbells or cable resistance).

Aerobic Exercise in Golf Fitness

While the game of golf is certainly not an aerobic event and does not require a great deal of aerobic conditioning, to have at least a foundation of aerobic conditioning provides dividends in both your performance and enjoyment of the game. In fact, aerobic conditioning can shave strokes just on the fatigue-reduction benefits alone. Certainly, if you are walking the course it will improve consistency and significantly reduce fatigue during and following your round.
