Functional exercise for golf can mean different things to different golfers. But the key is to take a look at the golf swing mechanics and devise golf exercises, drills, and golf programs to strengthen weak or limited phases of the swing.
Not every golfer has the same deficiency; and treating golfers this way is like "one-stop" shopping. This will result in failure. No improvement for the golfer. This is a complete waste of time, money and physical effort.
The first step is for the golfer to partake in a golf fitness evaluation to determine the correct functional exercise for golf program.
This evaluation should cover strength, flexibility, stabilization and endurance. These are all key factors in performing at your best. These individual tests cannot be general fitness tests, but tests devised specifically for the golfer in mind.
Functional exercise for golf is dynamic, sequential and incorporates core strength and stabilization. Any functional exercise for golf that does not address this is not for golfers.
First off the golf posture is not common among many sports or athletic movements. Being 'bent-over' at the waist with your weight more at the balls of your feet incorporate balance and stabilization immediately.
And remember?this is only at address!
To maintain your posture dynamically throughout the golf swing takes a 'unique' blend of all components mentioned above. That is why it is so important to incorporate functional exercise for golf in your routine.
Once you've taken the above mentioned evaluation, you'll have a good idea of what your weaknesses (limitations) are and start designing a function exercise for golf program that will hit those areas.
This functional exercise for golf program should be done a minimum of twice, but preferably 3 times a weak to get results. Being consistent with your program will leave you a happy golfer on the course.
No one ever said it would be easy, but by incorporating a functional exercise for golf program will be well worth it.
