A Golf Fitness Coach Equals Great Golf

Golf fitness coach. Have you ever considered one…and if so, what systematically were you looking for? There are many ‘familiar fitness’ trainers trying to acquire a piece of the golf fitness and training market that seems to be fast gaining exposure both on the television and inside print thanks to Tiger, Vijay and Annika.

But the first thing you require to believe when looking into hiring a golf fitness coach or program is the trainers experience inside golf.

Yes…that is high on the list of requirements. Does he/she know golf? Do they know the biomechanics of the golf swing? How about muscle function during the golf swing?

An easy test is during the initial interview or if you’re researching it online is to either ask very golf specific swing technique questions; or take a look at the fact on the website. You’ll find out real quick if this person or program be able to improve your golf swing, game and health.

A golf fitness coach or program ought to incorporate power, flexibility, endurance, body awareness, balance, stability and even a nutrition component.

It’s easy for a trainer to have a strength component…but is it specific to golf? A quick test. Take a look at any of the exercises. Are some of them on seated machines for instance? If they are…run! This is NOT a golf fitness coach and/or program. This is considered ‘familiar fitness’.

At this moment stretching. There are dozens of stretches for all citizens. But take a look at any of them. Do they even remotely look like they will benefit your golf swing?

Stretches involving trunk flexibility; lower back; hamstring; and even shoulders specific to the mechanics of the swing are what you desire. Common stretches are better than nothing, but will delay your results. You choose specific stretches.

Body awareness. Does some of the exercises resemble golf positions or phases of the swing? Do they look like you would be on your feet and inside your golf posture? As stated above, if they are seated on machines, your body will learn nothing inside regards to your golf swing.

Training your body specific to golf incorporates positions almost identical to what your body would be inside during several section of the golf swing.

Stability. Training your body to enhance stability inside your swing be able to acquire a little complex if you in fact want to see results. The swing happens at between 80-100 miles an hour. One of the biggest flaws of amateur golfers is moving in their golf swing.

Moving either laterally (sliding), vertically (up and done) or equally. This is death to your golf swing. To enhance your stability involves specific strength drills most trainers don’t even know about.

I possibly will go on-and-on about the requirements of a golf fitness coach or program. It is critical you make the exact decision. I have heard horror stories of golfers working using ‘so-called’ golf fitness experts and their game getting worse. With the proper research this won’t happen to you. So definitely consider a golf fitness coach.
