Is it too late to play golf? Many senior golfers will not resist the temptation to skip golf fitness exercises, citing their age. And at first glance, age appears to be a real excuse to avoid them.
After all golf fitness exercises, as most people think, are supposed to be very strenuous programs where dumb bells are used.
So how do you tell you’re too old to do golf fitness?
The answer to this question is really simple. If you’re too old for golf, you’re probably too old for golf fitness exercises.
I regularly work with 80-year-old golfers who comfortably do golf fitness drills, dumb bells and all. It is perhaps also appropriate to add here at this juncture that I also work regularly with young men in their barely teens.
Both groups of people are able to greatly improve their game with the help of golf fitness exercises.
Golf fitness training is no more rigorous and punishing than golf. Remember, the exercises are golf specific, which means they are specifically designed to help strengthen and condition the muscles used in the game of golf.
It is definitely not a fitness workout for boxing or bodybuilding. The workouts for these sports reflect the rigorous and physically demanding aspects of the sport. In the same way that golf fitness exercises mirror golf requirements.
Dumbbells are often used for strength training as this is the most efficient piece of equipment anywhere to build strength quickly and then be included in the best golf fitness workout routines.
The idea is not to lift heavy weights for long periods of time. Instead, the goal is to condition and strengthen golfer’s muscles using lighter weights lifted over very short periods of time.
If you’re not too old or too young for golf, golf fitness exercises are for you.
