Winter Workouts For Golfers

It’s time for another post from our favorite golf swing and fitness trainer, Mike Pedersen of Perform Better Golf.

Today’s info is about how your winter workouts can improve your golf game come spring.

Take it away, Mike :

Winter golf workouts are a great approach to taking advantage of the time you now have available to improve your golf since you’re not playing as much, if not at all. It’s a way to stay connected to your golf game when you’re not able to play due to the conditions (snow, temperatures, ice, etc.).

Have you ever gone into depression mode when winter hits and you can’t play golf anymore? I know this used to happen to me until I finally moved to a year-round nice climate. The transition from playing golf regularly to not at all can be depressing.

What do you do with all the time you now have since you’re not playing?

The answer? Winter golf workouts ! This is your “off-season” and like most athletes, you have to work on your body to take your game to the next level. This is a time when you evaluate your game and work on your weaknesses.

A common denominator for most golfers, especially senior golfers is their “physical capabilities”. This is your current level of golf-specific strength and flexibility. It’s highly unlikely you have no physical limitations in your golf swing. 80%, or more, of amateur golfers play with an injury during the season.

What better time than winter to workout to greatly improve this situation. There is no excuse. You’ve got the time and hopefully you’ve got the motivation to improve your game. You’ve just got to set up a game plan in regards to your golf workouts this winter.

The first step is to get a physical evaluation done to diagnose your current level of fitness specific to golf. You can hire a local golf fitness trainer or look on the web. Golf workouts are becoming so popular you can’t miss finding out information about them.

Once you’ve gotten your golf fitness evaluation, assess the areas that need the most work and spend the majority of your time on those areas. Most likely this would be flexibility and core strength. These are two very common areas that are lacking and can make the most impact on your golf improvement.

You will be shocked at your progress if you stick with it through the entire winter. The first time you step on the range, you’ll feel like a different golfer. It will be like an “out-of-body” experience. You’ll soon realize this is what you’ve been missing all along.

So when you put those clubs up for the winter and go into depression mode…remember this article and start your golf workouts for winter.
