Life Extension and Golf

Strength training is very beneficial in slowing the aging process. Most golfers are middle aged or older, and want to play golf as long as they can. To make this possible you will need good levels of flexibility, strength, and athletic attributes. Most people lose strength as they age. The main reason this happens is due to the lack of strength training. It’s never too late to start building the body. Some golfers in their 60’s and 70’s are capable of doubling their strength in a matter of a few weeks, this helps insure that you will not experience the side of effects linked with aging. You will not stop the aging, but you will drastically slow down the effects.

Working with senior golfers, I see that most have lost a large degree of flexibility. This is especially true in the stomach (core) region. This region is huge when it comes to generating a smooth powerful swing.

Most golfers play a good game of golf due to all the years they have invested into the game. When the body starts to break down, bad shots increase, and worse yet injuries occur.

I highly recommend that golfers keep their spine maintained by a golf trained Chiropractor. They can help you add strength to your shot, and keep you on the course.
