Senior Golf Advantages

By Henry Smith


Now we are going to have a look at using dumbbells to improve your golf game. You'll be making use of weights as resistance training that has been developed just for golf. The golf specific weight program utilizes moderate weights with medium repetitions, and in a 30 to 45 minutes time frame. This golf specific plan was created to improve your strength and endurance for golf swings, etc. This isn't designed to build muscle.

Weak muscles are tight muscles and resistance training will increase the flow of blood that will work through a range of action to sustain flexibility and strengthening the tendons and ligament to shield and secure the joints of your body. Coupled with stretching exercises it will improve your flexibility.

Playing golf requires surges of energy for the high-power activity of the game accompanied by extended periods of standing, walking, and possibly even sitting in a cart. The extended periods of both mental and physical preparedness requires the body and the brain to be operating a peak capacity. The right foods and liquids will fuel your body and also the brain to their optimum efficiency level.

You will want to stabilize your blood sugar and keep it well balanced with the foods you eat. The brain consumes the most blood sugar compared to any other organ in the body. If your blood sugar supply is very low, you'll become slow, you will experience concentration, plus slow and distorted connection on the body. The end result is a poor golf game.

Usually poor shots such as bogies or wayward shots made late in the round could possibly be caused by low-energy and dehydration. Golf is usually a challenging enough game to be running out of energy before the end of a game. Here are a handful of suggestions to help you stay on top of the game towards the end of the round.

In the morning on the day of the golf match, you've got to eat forty-five minutes to one hour before playing. Have a balanced meal made up of 35 - 45% carbohydrates, 25 - 30% protein, and 20 - 30% fats. The following is actually a selection of some foods to pick from. It will give you a perception of the type of food you have to eat.

* Complex carbohydrates - fresh vegetables and fruits, not fruit juices and a small amount of whole grain products. * Protein/Fats - fish, fowl, fresh lean meats, or boiled eggs, hard or soft. * Dairy products - Just small amounts of dairy products should be eaten. Dairy products can be difficult for most people to digest. You might try goat dairy foods like yogurt. Use butter. No margarine. * Protein/ Carbohydrate shakes. * Vitamins - 2 Daily vitamins and Omega 3's.

Consume 4 to 5 small meals or snacks each day. Fresh fruit, like an apple along with peanut butter or raw nuts are a good choice. Peanut butter and celery sticks are another great choice. You don't want sugary or foods that are fried. Low sugar protein bars can be good particularly the ones made out of seeds and nuts. Sugar substitutes aren't good either.

Start using these ideas in planning the snacks you'll pack on game day to maintain the blood sugar in balance. You would want to make a habit of making your snacks the night before and have them in your bag. It does not work well if you try to prepare them the morning of game day. It is important for you to keep your brain and body fueled so that you can last throughout the day.

You will need to take with you lots of spring water. You will want to stay hydrated the whole day. Use the rule of thumb and drink 8 - 8oz. glasses of spring water. Tap water has a lot of chlorine and toxic metals that has been put into the water. You will want to drink water every other hole, more if it is hot. Do not drink coffee, alcohol, fruit drinks or sodas.

Finally, you need to have plenty of sleep the evening before. If you go to bed around 10 or 10:30 so as to wake up on your own without the help of an alarm clock, you will have a much better chance of a good performance.
