Senior Golf Goal

By Curtis Bedell


Yoga exercise also provides workouts to give your hips more flexibility. Hip flexibility is another avenue of exercises you will want to start on. Hip flexibility is important when doing the golf swing. The golf swing involves proper hip turn to produce power, speed, and balance from your hips. The condition of the lower back and endurance in the course are linked to your hip flex and strength.

The yoga positions are designed to improve strength in the group of muscles sustaining your hips. It is important for the golfer to be able to keep correct posture throughout the forceful phase of golf swing. The approach to determine this is by the capability to keep up proper posture and also your core strength.

The lower back could be painful when you are injured. To reduce the probabilities of an accident work with the yoga exercises to strengthen your lower back. This year Americans will spend vast amounts of dollars on back pain healthcare costs. Many professional and amateur golfers will play with a back injury. This will go to prove how vital it is to have your body in form playing golf as in any sport.

With yoga, breathing is an integral part on the strengthening process. Any time you go through a difficult situation on the golf course or off the golf course, it will cause your heart rate to speed up and the breathing to become erratic. When you learn how to control your breathing during a difficult time, it will help you keep the mind calm and the body relaxed. With the yoga breathing workouts you will expand your breath and boost the level of energy in your body. Breathing is such an important part of yoga, with no concentration on your breathing yoga is nothing more than stretching workouts.

Breathing is actually a natural response and it is part of the nervous system, but we can easily control our breathing in the same way we control movement such as your golf swing and yoga workouts. Your breath may also be controlled.

You'll find three basic characteristics in breathing - the inhaling, the exhaling and the suppressing of breath. Suppressing your breath is an essential part of expanding your breathing which stimulates your nervous system. In yoga you'll only focus on the inhaling and exhaling of your breathing.

The yoga exercises designed to focus on the upper body flexibility will help you develop strength by using the body's weight against gravity for resistance. They will also incorporate the use of strength tubing and weights to stabilize the core.

Your posture is yet another area yoga exercises can enhance. There are several different factors attributed to very poor position, aging, a less active lifestyle, and ineffective techniques, which could lead to an imbalance in the body. Poor position is sweeping the country in adults and children and it is straightly linked to billions of dollars spent annually on back pain related healthcare.

Here is a way for you to assess the position.

Stand facing a mirror and let your body to get into its natural stance. Take a look at the line of the shoulders and upper back. Is your upper back rounded and also your shoulders turned a bit inward? In that case, you need to focus on your posture.

Your natural position (the way you sit or stand if no one is watching) is your base you'll use to develop the dynamic posture. Just like a house, the foundation needs to be strong enough to hold the structure of the house. The natural posture is your foundation in this case. You may wish to start with the strengthening of the core after which work your way up to the posture workouts. Yoga is a lot like working in a jigsaw puzzle; each piece does have its own place. On its own it is nothing, but once put in its proper position it will help complete the entire image. In yoga, you cannot place your cart before the horse, as my grandmother would always say.
