Golf strength and flexibility
Basic strength and flexibility areas to work on for a better golf swing. Get the most out of your weather shortened 2013 season by working these key areas.
The stronger and more flexible you are the more you will achieve in golf. 10-15 minutes a day stretching can go along way to helping you become a better golfer. Add in some good core leg and upper body weight work or yoga and you will see benefits come quicker still. This month's golf digest as well as numerous web sites, DVD's, and books can provide you with a good golf work out plan. If you really want to get after it hire a personal trainer for a couple months and watch your golf (and health) improve. Here are some key areas to make stronger and more flexible.
a.) Quadriceps - to provide a stable base and structure in the swing
