Frequently Asked Questions
How often should I train for golf fitness?
Aim for 2-3 dedicated golf fitness sessions per week, focusing on rotational power, core stability, and mobility. Consistency is key, even short sessions are beneficial.
Will this plan add distance to my drives?
Yes, by improving your rotational power and core control, you'll be able to generate more clubhead speed and transfer energy more efficiently through your swing, leading to increased distance and accuracy.
Is mobility more important than strength for golf?
Both are crucial. Mobility allows for a full range of motion in your swing, while strength (especially rotational and core) provides the power and stability needed to control that motion effectively. They work synergistically.
