Increase Your Golf Swing Speed With Exercises
One of the quickest and most effective ways to increase golf swing speed is by engaging in weight training exercises. You don't have to enrol at a gym for this if you do want to spend so much. A simple weight, like a bowling ball or a dumbell, will do the trick. What weight training can do is make your upper, core and lower body more enduring, because, well, golf as a sport does take a lot of muscle control. Do Lunges 1. Stand up with your arms hanging straight down in front of you, while holding your chosen weight with both hands. 2. Slowly step forward then simultaneously turn your upper body toward the side where you made the step and pose the weight perpendicularly to your lowered leg. 3. The weight should be level with your chest the entire time. 4. Count 2 secs then return to your original position (standing up) with your feet together. 5. Count another 2 secs then do the same for the other side of your body. Do three sets of these with ten lunges on each side for every set. Another way to increase your golf swing speed is to do rotational exercises. These are very simple moves that can be done even by the most senior of golfers. It helps boost muscle strength and endurance. 1. Sit with your back straight and place a club on your shoulders (behind your neck), holding each end of the club with your hands. 2. Looking straight ahead, rotate your body slowly to the right and then to the left. You will notice a slight tightening in your body at the start, but this will eventually go smoothly when your muscles start to warm up. 3. Repeat this procedure slowly for around 5 times on each side, then increase your speed thereafter. Go for ten turns for each direction and make three sets. It is advised that you begin with the rotations first before you do the lunges, so your body won't be surprised too much and react adversely. Remember, while golfing is not exactly considered one of the most strenuous sports around, you still need to exercise if you want your swings to get better. Golfing is not as wimpy as non-players think it is.
