Exercising Intelligently for Golf

EXERCISING INTELLIGENTLY TO PLAY BETTER GOLF
Choosing the correct exercises in the gym specifically for golf can make or break your game! Golf is all about postural endurance, rotation, acceleration and deceleration, strength and having the ability to shift your weight from one leg to another. Golf is a free movement based sport. So training on machines in the gym is far from optimal. Machines will only force you to become strong in one plane of motion because this is the only movement they allow. When you sit in a machine your Central Nervous System is dampened because there is virtually no stability involved and no postural muscle is excited. Machines appose postural muscle tone and stabilizer muscles to activate! Machines tend to isolate muscle groups. When playing golf or any sport for that matter it is humanly impossible to isolate a muscle. Muscles work in groups and a chain of muscular contractions occur when the body moves naturally. Training on a machine will decrease the connection between groups of muscles. A golf club is simply a small weight that is controlled by the golfer. Gym machines are bolted to the floor and control the users movement. This works against everything that golf is. It is the complete opposite of how golfers should train.
At Move Three Sixty we have the highest calibre of trainers and therapists to ensure that your golf game will improve. Muscular strength, stability and muscular length assessments will discover what muscles may be hindering your game. Muscular imbalances will be brought to light and you will be shown what particular muscles need to be strengthened and what muscles need to be stretched. Our Clinical Nutritionist will assess your needs chemically and see what foods need to be eliminated from your diet. This will enhance abdominal function and tone.
Tony Miller is Move Three Sixty’s Golf Biomechanics Specialist. He holds the prestigious C.H.E.K Golf Biomechanics and Titleist Performance Institute Certifications. Tony has improved many Golfers games when they have failed with conventional training systems. Tony’s Golfing assessment techniques will open your eyes as to why you are not playing to your best ability.
