Kettlebells - 2 Tremendous Strength Exercises For the Avid Golfer!

If you are a golfer that has a decent game then its about to get better. You have probably read some of my other material and realize that the kettlebell is a great tool to train military personnel, athletes, and regular people that have a hard attitude for working out. Its also a great tool even for golfers. The following 2 exercises will increase your flexibility in your hips and shoulders and increase your leg power and core strength!

Exercise 1: (The Double-Arm Kettlebell Swing) This is pretty much the staple of all kettlebell lifts. It involves swinging the bell from between your legs up to chest-level with your body fully extended at the top of the movement. You get double fiexion and extension of the hips and knees working the glutes, hips, low back, and mid-back. The arc of the bell swinging from between your legs up to your chest in front of your body also constantly challenges your abdominals, lats, delts, traps, and certainly grip strength. All are highly activated when trying to out-drive Tiger Woods.

Exercise 2: (The One-Arm Turkish Getup) This lift is highly dynamic and challenges the body for further balance, stability(especially shoulder stability), core strength, and core flexibility. This lift starts by you lying on the floor with the bell in one arm fully extended perpendicular to the floor throughout the lift. From the floor the object is to stand up through a series of learned steps until you are on your feet. The bell stays above your head throughout the movement. There is a lot of movement required with the upper-body and side-bending of the trunk in order to execute the lift. Because of these intense movements with the trunk it promotes outstanding flexibility, strength, and range of motion which is where your BOMBING drives will benefit.

Both of these lifts are great for turning your golf game into something worth buying a new set of clubs over. Learn and execute these flawlessly!

The Kettlebell - The Tool For Correcting Problematic Asymmetries

Have you ever been to the gym to see these guys that have a huge upper-body, but a pair of toothpicks for legs? Maybe you've seen guys who spend every workout doing primarily one particular lift like the bench press as seen with your typical gym rats! Well I want to take the time to explain the importance of symmetry, and how the kettlebell is a great tool for achieving this.

The Problem: To start, many people don't consider necessarily what they are doing when they go to workout. They don't properly address their individual weaknesses in their workouts. This is a common theme with most because they don't have a clear understanding of the human body and how it works. By now you know that I have broken down the push and pull as the two primary movements of the human body. I also like to execute both of these movements in either 2 separate lifts or a singular complex lift with the kettlbell that covers both. The problem with not executing both a push and pull dynamic is that if the body develops asymmetries then there will be a mismatch in the overall function of the muscles, and eventually this could result in an injury.

The Solution: To make sure that your strength and conditioning program is effective enough for you to pass the "eyeball contest" is one thing, but making sure that you can also feel strong and healthy is just as important. You must always vary your workouts to include a variety of exercises that serve completely different purposes. Variety can be as much as never repeating the same workout ever! Though this is somewhat very creative and challenging the benefits far outweigh the negative costs. Make sure that you alternate movements of push and pull with every exercise that you do. Also make sure you engage in very dynamic lifts (like the kettlebell one-arm turkish getup) that incorporate many muscles and move the body through every plain of motion.

This will definitely provide you with a much more functional and less injured body!
