A better golf swing is inevitable?for any golfer, with the right approach.
It doesn?t matter age or ability.
It?s a reality?and can happen very quickly!
To achieve a better golf swing, a golfer needs to realize just how physically demanding it is on the human body.
You are swing an object (golf club) at up to 100 mph.
This puts a tremendous amount of pressure on the joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles.
If these tissues of the body are weak, tight or brittle they will rupture and eliminate you from playing golf indefinitely.
If it doesn?t, your performance will pay the price.
The outcome either way is not what you want?but will happen without an emphasis on strengthening these areas.
Along with strengthening comes stretching.
Stretching muscles to attain a better golf swing is common among most golfers.
Although it is common, most golfers don?t stretch.
Why?
Because it is viewed as ?work?.
But if it were viewed as a form of golf improvement it would be a different story.
Swing mechanics cannot be improved if your golf specific strength and flexibility are ignored.
It is an impossibility, unless you compensate for this lack of capabilities in your golf swing.
Teaching pros are now starting to realize there is a definite connection between golf swing mechanics and fitness.
But that?s where the BIG gap is.
Between instruction and physical fitness.
This is the ultimate combination for total golf performance and I have been preaching it for several years now.
When your physical capabilities are improved, your golf swing mechanics become much easier to achieve.
The next time you visit your teaching pro, to achieve a better golf swing, you?ll be able to do what he/she wants and the desired outcome will be achieved.
This outcome is inevitable when you get your body moving better.
Your golf swing mechanics fall into place.
It will only be a matter of time when all golfers will approach their golf improvement this way.
It?s the only way that will warrant lasting results and ultimately a better golf swing.

Fitness Components For Golf
by: Mike Pedersen
The fitness components for golf are a select few, but they are critical to a golfers success.
The golf swing is a physically demanding movement on the human body.
It involves coordination, balance, stability, muscular strength and endurance, and dynamic sequence of motion just to name a few.
Do you think a body that is physically broken can accomplish a mechanically sound repeatable swing?
Based on the physical requirements of a mechanically good golf swing?NO way!
It is a physical impossibility to have a repeatable swing for 18 holes unless?you?ve implemented the fitness components for golf within a consistent program.
When you isolate your golf swing muscles?stretch and strengthen them?and improve the efficiency of sequencing your motions throughout the swing?you will no doubt be a massively improved golfer for the long term.
Isn?t that what you?re really...

How To Set Up a Golf Fitness Program to Improve Your Golf Game
by: Sean Cochran
Professional golfers on the PGA Tour understand the connection between golf swing mechanics and the body. The most notable players in the world have regimented golf fitness programs they adhere religiously too. The benefits of such programs have been well documented in the media. Press clippings from Tiger Woods, Vijay Singh, and Phil Mickelson all refer to golf fitness exercises being a component of their regular practice schedule.
The amateur can learn a lot from the pros. They can learn the importance the body has in relation to the golf swing, how golf swing mechanics and the body are intertwined, and improvement in the golf game requires the implementation of a golf fitness program.
Where most amateurs get ?off-track? with their golf fitness training is the components and exercises incorporated in such a program. Golf fitness programs are quite different...

Last time we looked at Roadblocks 1-3 and how to blast them out of your way on the road to success. In today's article (Part 2) we'll look at the next three in some detail. I'll cover the rest as we move through his 6-part series.
Success Roadblock Number Four: Inadequate Motivation ? You Don't Have Clear & Compelling Reasons To Succeed
As a success coach, I can tell you that very few people understand the necessity for having compelling reasons to power them toward their goals. If you don't have sufficiently strong motivations to overcome the inertia of the status quo, then you're either going to stay right where you are or end up right back where you are. It's really just that simple.

Does The Place You Live Affects Your Wellness?
Does The Place You Live Affects Your Wellness?
by: Christos Varsamis
During the course of your growing up years, you lived wherever your parents chose to live. You didn?t give any thought to the health implications of the location your parents chose, or if they had chosen a place that was conducive to your overall wellness. Chances are your parents didn?t give it much thought either. Not until recently, has there ever been given any thought to the fact that where you live affects your health and wellness. But it does, and it?s a piece of information that is sure to influence many generations to come.
So how is this information compiled, and what can we learn from it? The information is compiled based on statistical information from areas such as smog levels, pollution levels, water quality, government based fitness incentives, and recreational and fitness facilities available. Generally, one of the major magazines published in the United States,...

Health And Fitness Software, What Should Be In It? Part 1
by: Erik Pijcke
Let?s keep the answer simple; everything that is related to your health.
The most important indicators for your state of health can be measured though your vital signs, like blood pressure, cholesterol level, heart beat, body mass index etcetera. The major input that influence these health indicators are what and how much you eat and drink, smoke, medication use, life style, daily activity and air quality.
Beside our genetic disposition, we are what we eat, drink and breathe.
A good health and fitness software program should be able to capture the above mentioned input and correlate the results with the output, or health indicators. This way you create a cause and effect system that the user can analyze and consequently take corrective measures and improve his or her overall health.
The bigger picture teaches us that an effective health and fitness software...
